You know the scene: drivers with their eyes glued to their phones instead of the road. It's a dangerous trend that's causing more and more accidents. Texting, calling, or even changing the music can steal a driver's attention long enough to miss seeing someone walking across the street.

At Local Injury Attorneys, we remind drivers and pedestrians alike to be extra vigilant in these distracted times. Put down the phone, folks whether you're on-foot or behind the wheel, let's keep those eyes up and save lives.

Sometimes the stage is set for trouble long before a pedestrian steps off the curb. Roads that lack proper crosswalks, signals, or signage can be a recipe for disaster. We're talking about things like poorly lit paths, intersections that are a maze of confusion, or a lack of sidewalks altogether.

That's why we're advocating for smarter street design and infrastructure improvements in New Orleans . Let's give pedestrians the safe spaces they need to strut their stuff without fear.

Jaywalking might seem like a harmless way to get where you're going faster, but it's a risky business. Crossing in the middle of a street or against the traffic signal can catch drivers off guard, leading to accidents that could have been avoided.
