Personal Injury Lawyer in New Orleans East, Louisiana

New Orleans East is the largest geographic section of the city, stretching from the I-10/I-610 split eastward to the parish line. It's an area defined by high-speed corridors — I-10 East, Chef Menteur Highway (US 90), and Bullard Avenue — that carry heavy commercial and commuter traffic through a community that has been rebuilding since Katrina.

I-10 East through New Orleans East is one of the most dangerous stretches of interstate in Louisiana. The road carries a massive volume of 18-wheeler traffic heading to and from Slidell, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and points east. The I-10/I-510 interchange and the stretch near Michoud Boulevard are particularly crash-prone, with semi-truck rear-end and lane-change collisions producing catastrophic injuries and wrongful death cases.

Chef Menteur Highway — the old east-west route through the area — passes through commercial zones along Bullard Avenue, Read Boulevard, and Crowder Boulevard. The road's five-lane configuration (two each way with a center turn lane) creates dangerous conditions when drivers use the center lane to make left turns across oncoming traffic. T-bone collisions at these informal turning points are common and often severe.
