New Orleans Pedestrian Accidents Lawyer

According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a vehicle kills more than 4,000 people each year and injures more than 70,000 in pedestrian accidents. The people most at risk of being involved in a pedestrian accident, unfortunately, are the elderly, children, and those who are alcohol impaired. Our experienced legal team is dedicated to representing those individuals who have suffered severe injuries in pedestrian accidents.

The most common causes of pedestrian accidents are:

• Failure to yield to a pedestrian
• Speeding
• Distractions such as talking on cell phone or texting
• Ignoring the traffic signal
• Jaywalking
• Walking outside of the crosswalk

At Voorhies Law Firm, we do not want the litigations to interfere with your recovery after your accident. The personal injury attorneys will thoroughly investigate your pedestrian accident claim and remove the hassle of handling your case.
