Car Accident

Louisiana Attorney Frank Tomeny, from Tomeny | Best Injury Lawyers, was sought out by a 65-year-old man who had been involved in a head-on collision. The Plaintiff was traveling at 55 miles an hour when he suddenly came face-to-face with a stopped energy truck that was sitting stationary in traffic. In an attempt to avoid the collision, the Plaintiff forcibly stood on his anti-lock brakes before crashing into the truck. Consequently, the Plaintiff gripped the steering wheel with such force in his attempt to evade the collision that he bent it, demonstrating the fear he felt as he helplessly careened into the stalled vehicle.
