New Orleans, LA (August 20, 2019) – A multi-vehicle injury accident occurred in New Orleans causing significant traffic delays on I-10 near the Highrise Bridge.

Speeding-Related Wrecks in Louisiana

Reckless driving can take many forms on the road, including speeding, which is the leading cause of car wrecks in Louisiana. When a driver is speeding, he or she often does not have enough time to stop when they notice a roadway hazard. This can cause severe injuries when involved in a collision.

The forces involved in a high-speed crash often result in costly damages. Victims will often take on unexpected damages, including medical bills or lost income, after being injured in a crash. Injured victims should always protect their legal rights by contacting an experienced Baton Rouge auto accident attorney.
