A Vision Loss Lawyer in Alexandria, LA, Can Help You Recover Damages

Flying glass, metal shards, or a blow to the head can result in an eye injury that could have a lasting impact on your life. Depending on your line of work and the severity of your injury, you may be unable to perform your job temporarily or permanently.

Regardless, losing income during this time is a loss you cannot afford, especially since your injury requires medical attention that can result in costly medical bills piling up. In addition, you may need special care and equipment along with therapy to adjust to the changes.

Unfortunately, these are not the only damages you could suffer. Maybe you have nightmares about your accident. Or perhaps you experience mental anguish and emotional distress. Even your relationships with family and friends could deteriorate, reducing your quality of life.

An Alexandria Eye Injury Lawyer Can Benefit Your Case

Your eye injury lawyer in Rapides Parish will serve as an advocate protecting your interests, so no one takes advantage of you during this vulnerable time. That’s just one of many benefits you can expect if you hire our firm to handle your case:

  • We will dedicate the time and resources necessary to secure a fair compensation package that adequately covers your losses.
  • Our catastrophic injury lawyers from Alexandria will investigate the accident to determine liability and collect evidence such as police reports, medical records, video footage, photographs, witness statements, and expert opinions.
  • The liable party’s insurance provider will likely make a settlement offer, so we’ll calculate the value of your claim to determine if an offer is reasonable. Our assessment also sets the baseline for how much compensation we demand.
  • We will also negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf and file a lawsuit if necessary.

The liable party and their insurance provider have lawyers representing them. So, hiring a lawyer evens the playing field.

You Have a Short Window to Act on an Eye Injury Claim

Louisiana is one of only a handful of states that gives personal injury victims just two years from the date of an injury to file a lawsuit for compensation, per CC 3493.1. That means you have a short window of time to act. You must file a lawsuit by the statutory deadline to avoid losing your right to pursue compensation through the courts.

Laborde Earles will work to meet the statute of limitations in your case, so you retain your right to seek compensation through the legal process. However, the liable party’s insurance provider wants to let the clock run out because it doesn’t want to go to court. Don’t give the insurer want it wants. Instead, think about what is best for you and your future.

Types of Eye Injuries That Could Result in Compensation

A car crash or workplace accident could result in one of these common eye injuries :

  • Corneal abrasions
  • Optic nerve damage
  • Chemical burns
  • Blood in the vitreous
  • Lacerations on the eye surface
  • Detached retina

We urge you to seek immediate medical attention after an accident. Your health comes first, and your doctor can document your injuries and treatment, strengthening your claim for compensation. So, schedule an appointment with a medical professional if you experience any of these symptoms:

  • Blurry vision
  • Swelling
  • Blood
  • Itching
  • Cuts
  • Vision loss
  • Loss of eye movement
  • Pain
  • Pressure

A legal case for compensation can take months—even years—to complete. Most cases settle out of court, but some play out before a jury. Thus, we strongly urge you to obtain legal representation as soon as possible after a car accident.
