Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana

Re: Bad Accident

Dear LawGuru Friend,

Go to the Louisiana Legislature website--by Goggling it--go to LA Laws, then to Revised Statues, and then to the article of Title 14 of the Louisiana Revised Statues that I am listing as an Attachment below and read the law for yourself. The next numbered article after the one below on Negligent Injuring has to do with Vehicular Negligence. You can look it up on the LA Legislature's website and read it. Best of luck!

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.

Lake Charles, LA
