Automobile Accidents
Automobile accidents are disruptive, whether it’s a “fender-bender” or catastrophic car crash, victims will lose time from work to get medical treatment, vehicle repairs, and, sometimes, to make Court appearances. If you’re involved in a car accident, contact experienced trial lawyer, Carlos Zelaya at (504) 277-8989.
Some car crashes are caused by reckless or impaired drivers. But nowadays, more and more crashes are caused by distracted drivers. Car crash victims often suffer physical injuries, incur expensive medical bills, lose the use of their vehicle, and lose time and money from work. If you have been hurt in an automobile accident, you need a law firm with trial lawyers experienced in taking personal injury cases to trial. The Mumphrey Law Firm has handled such cases in the New Orleans area for over 40 years.
