CASE LAW ABOUT GENTILLY NEIGHBORHOOD CAR ACCIDENTS IN NEW ORLEANS

Brown v. Travelers Ins. Co., 187 So.3d 1042015-0921 (La.App. 4 Cir. 2/17/16). On August 20, 2013, an automobile accident occurred at the intersection of Elysian Fields Avenue and Gentilly Boulevard in New Orleans, Louisiana, between vehicles driven by plaintiff, Aisha Brown, and defendant, Kevin Fogg. At trial, plaintiff testified that she had been traveling on Elysian Fields Avenue, turned right onto Gentilly Boulevard and, after merging to the left lane of travel, was struck in the rear passenger’s door by Mr. Fogg’s vehicle. She denied having seen Mr. Fogg’s vehicle at any time prior to the accident.

According to Mr. Fogg’s testimony, at the time of the accident, he was in the course and scope of his employment and was traveling in the right lane of Elysian Fields Avenue, headed to perform a work-related inspection. His intent was to proceed straight on Elysian Fields Avenue through its intersection with Gentilly Boulevard, as had he turned onto Gentilly Boulevard, he would have detoured from his intended route. He testified that, as he approached Gentilly Boulevard, Ms. Brown attempted to turn right in front of him from the center lane of travel, causing a collision between the two vehicles. Mr. Fogg did not see Ms. Brown’s vehicle until it began to initiate the right turn.

The trial court found that the accident was caused solely by the fault of the defendant, Kevin Fogg. The court of appeal based on the record before it, found the trial court did not abuse its discretion and affirmed the trial court’s judgment.

“To describe the Lavis Law Firm – Personal Injury & Accident Attorney as Amazing , would be an understatement! I was in an auto accident and even though the other person admitted fault, the insurance company still tried to escape full responsibility. My experience started off with his friendly phone staff. And one of the best parts is that I could speak to HIM personally! He was attentive, thorough, informative, easy to talk to and extremely understanding. He was sure to keep in contact with me at every stage of the case, either by phone , email, even text. There was not one question unanswered or decision made regarding my case without a full explanation and my approval. He even offered to meet me at whatever location was easiest for me, including my home. I was referred to him and I definitely see why. From start to finish, he was a major advocate for me. I know that I was not his only client but he sure makes you feel like it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Lavis Law Firm – Personal Injury & Accident Attorney! I hope not to need an attorney again for anything but if I happen to, there’s only one number to call. I will forever be greatful for Mr. Charles Lavis”
