Intersection Accidents in New Orleans
Busy intersections like Jefferson Highway and South Claiborne Avenue are frequent sites of traffic collisions in New Orleans due to high volumes of vehicles, complex turning patterns, and heavy evening traffic. Nighttime driving adds further risks, with reduced visibility and an increased chance of distracted or impaired driving.
Accidents involving larger vehicles, such as pickup trucks, often result in more serious damage and injuries due to their size and weight. Even with safety features like OnStar alerts, victims can suffer significant harm that requires immediate medical care and long-term follow-up treatment.
