At the very first meeting with Alexis and Danielle they took the time to explain everything to us so that we understood what we were going to go through. They checked in on us to see how things were going with DR appointment and therapy. They checked in on the phone or by text and if I had a question and I was in Lafayette and I would stop by the office one of them would come to answer my questions. I truly appreciate the response and respect that they showed to me and my husband and I would really recommend them to family and friends.

Establishing Your Right to Compensation

If you decide to pursue compensation, you will need to prove that another party acted negligently. This involves proving:

  • Duty of care – First, you must show that the other driver owed you a duty to drive with reasonable care and skill at the time the accident happened. This means following traffic laws and using good judgment while behind the wheel.
  • Breach of duty of care – Next, you must show that the other party did not drive according to this obligation. Examples of this include distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, and tailgating. A police report is a good way to identify the other driver’s carelessness at the time of the crash.
  • Causation – It is also important to show that the other driver caused your injuries. Showing that they were careless is not enough. You must establish that there is a connection between their breach of the duty of care and your neck injury.
  • Damages – The last step is to provide information to show the different expenses and damages that you have experienced as a result of the accident. They must be financial in nature; you cannot only pursue non-economic damages, like pain and suffering, in your case.

Your neck injury may have also happened as the result of a premises liability accident. This is any type of accident where you are hurt because someone did not keep their property safe.
