Westwego, Louisiana car wreck kills one

Posted on Nov 02, 2010

This month on the west bank side of New Orleans, Louisiana near Bridge City, an accident occurred that claimed the life of one person. Police who responded to the accident reported that it happened around 5am in the morning during a low flowing amount of traffic. It is unknown if the use of alcohol or another substance was the cause of this accident, but routine toxicology reports are pending. It was not released if that was a suspected factor in this accident. The investigation into this wreck continues, and no citations have been made at this point.

The wreck started out with Sean M. Bond driving his 2002 Hyundai Accent westward bound on U.S. highway 90. For reasons that are currently unknown, Bond was driving along before he rear-ended the back semi trailer. The semi trailer's driver was 56 year-old Andre Franklin of Westwego, Louisiana. He had been trying to pass over the westbound lanes of Highway 90 to turn eastwards when Bond made impact with the trailer.

Sean M. Bond was taken immediately to the West Jefferson Medical Center following the accident. However, around 6am Bond had died from injuries he sustained in the wreck. The medical status of Andre Franklin is unknown. Franklin was not suspected of being intoxicated during the accident, nor was it said if he was properly restrained. Toxicology reports are being waited on by the police for Bond, and it was not released if they suspected him being under the influence or not.

When you loose someone you love to a serious car accident, there are certain things that have to be handled immediately. The funeral, last minute medical bills pop out of nowhere, and other arrangements on top of the grief can make it seem impossible and unbearable. Things don't get better, sadly, when the bills for these last arrangements come in. If your loved one was not the cause of the accident, and it was not his fault, then your family might be entitled to get compensation. Compensation is a payout from the person who caused the wreck's insurance company, which should cover the cost of all those things. If the person deceased was the family caretaker, it can also pay for lost wages. However, getting proper compensation on your own is a challenge, insurance companies will do anything to give you the smallest amount of money possible. That is why people hire Car Accident lawyers. Having a lawyer, especially in Louisiana, is basically required for getting the money you need. Louisiana car accident lawyer Tim Young is an experienced, hard working lawyer who's law offices will do everything in their power to make sure you're properly compensated.
