Your car accident report, your own recollections, and witness testimony all help identify the at-fault party in a car accident. These items help you prove the at-fault driver’s failure to live up to their duty to provide you with reasonable care. They also help prove the at-fault driver caused your injuries and the resulting financial damages.
When our team represents you, we help you prove you are not at fault in a car accident and how to show the other involved driver was. We also take care of the case-related details, including collecting and organizing your evidence and presenting it as part of the settlement negotiation process. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we present your evidence in court to fight for a fair resolution on your behalf.
Evidence We Collect for You
When we handle your case, you do not have to prove you were not at fault for the accident you were involved in because our personal injury team does it for you. In fact, we take care of all the little details that prove your right to compensation. We also handle the insurance company for you, including all verbal, electronic, and written communication.
Laborde Earles injury was great for me they took care of me very fast and professional. If for any reason I need legal help they will be who I use.
ClientWe Obtain Your Car Accident Report
In your car accident case, your crash report is a valuable tool. It gives us several pieces of key information that help prove the other driver caused the accident. It will tell us and the at-fault party’s representative:
- The cause of the accident
- The position of each vehicle
- The points of impact
- The identity of witnesses
It also tells us if the at-fault driver received any tickets, committed any traffic violations, or was distracted or intoxicated. It also helps us prove the date of the accident so we can comply with the statute of limitations. In addition, the report should provide the contact information of the driver, their insurance company, and any witnesses.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientWe Obtain Other Supporting Evidence
While your car accident report is a crucial part of your case, other evidence also plays an important role. We make sure your case file is complete and comprehensive by going over the details of your case with a fine-toothed comb. The evidence we compile while you focus on getting better includes:
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- Future prognosis
- Salary history
- Injury photos
- Accident scene photos
- Witness statements
Some of the evidence we collect proves the cause of your accident, while some prove its costs and financial value. We organize all your evidence to steer your case toward an insurance settlement versus a prolonged court case.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
ClientWe Take the Risk Out of Filing Your Lawsuit
In Louisiana, you have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit against an at-fault party. When you notify us of your intention to seek compensation, we act quickly to remove the risks that come with seeking compensation too late. The relevant timelines include:
- If your accident caused injuries to you or a loved one, you generally have two years to file your personal injury lawsuit, according to CC Art. 3492
- If your car accident resulted in a fatality, you generally have two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit, according to CC Art. 2315.2
If you do not meet the statute of limitations, the court will not permit you to file your lawsuit at all. Even if you manage to file your lawsuit after the filing deadline expires, it is likely to be dismissed before it can ever be heard. Either of these negative outcomes could mean you are unable to compel the at-fault driver to compensate you. Our team will ensure your case is filed on time with the court.
They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
