Personal Injury Lawyers Serving the Claiborne Corridor

The Claiborne personal injury lawyers at Rudin Law take on far more than routine fender-benders. A straightforward rear-end collision turns on one driver and one policy, while a wreck involving an 18-wheeler, a rideshare car, or a commercial vehicle pulls in a company, its insurer, and more than one policy at once. We pin down who is responsible and which coverage applies before we build your demand, so nothing you are owed gets left on the table.

The list below covers the injury cases Claiborne clients bring to us.

Why Injuries Along Claiborne Turn Serious

Injuries along Claiborne turn serious because the corridor packs heavy traffic, freight trucks, and tight merges beneath an aging elevated expressway. About 115,000 vehicles a day travel the elevated Claiborne Expressway, according to a 2012 traffic study reported by KFF Health News. North Claiborne runs under the interstate through Tremé and the 7th Ward, while South Claiborne cuts through Central City as a fast surface route, and each stretch carries its own dangers.

The same conditions send our Claiborne clients to the hospital again and again.

• Interstate merges. Drivers entering and leaving the I-10 change speed fast, which produces rear-end and sideswipe collisions near the ramps.
• Truck volume. Freight traffic on the elevated expressway means a passenger car absorbs the force of a much heavier vehicle.
• Pedestrians under the overpass. People crossing North Claiborne in the shadow of the interstate are hard to see, and a driver’s late reaction turns into a catastrophic injury.
• Flooding and low visibility. Heavy rain pools under the overpass and along the neutral ground, and standing water hides lane lines and stalls traffic.

Why Injured Claiborne Residents Choose Rudin Law

At Rudin Law, one team stays with the case from the first call to the final check, instead of passing you between people who never learn your story. Lee Rudin leads that team, and his years on the insurance side show in demands a defense adjuster has a hard time dismissing.

Each stage of your claim has an owner, from the client development specialists who handle intake to the pre-litigation staff and litigation paralegals who move the case toward resolution. Our team also includes Spanish-speaking members who guide Spanish-speaking clients from the first phone call through settlement, so language never becomes a barrier.
