The accident happened during a block party where neighbors gathered to watch Fourth of July fireworks. A large group of motorcycles rumbled through the gathering and disrupted the festivities. Asia was standing a few feet in the road when she was struck. She was knocked to the opposite side of the road and hit her head on the concrete. She later died of head injuries.
Families of deceased or injured people can file a lawsuit by retaining an accident attorney.
Some of the motorcyclist stopped but other did not. Witnesses gave conflicting reports of whether the guilty party was one of group who stopped, but he was not.
Dejean turned himself into New Orleans Parrish Police and faces charges of manslaughter, hit and run and reckless driving.
Reckless drivers harm and kill thousand on our roads daily and all these victims deserve reparation for their pain and suffering. An accident lawyer will apply their expertise to prove negligence and seek the financial compensation they deserve.
Accident attorneys will fight for their clients to assure they are awarded just settlements for their losses. Even though money can’t replace a loved one or heal wounds it can make a person comfortable while they heal or mourn.
