ClientWhat to Expect After a Teen Driving Accident
When you are involved in a car accident with a minor, you may encounter problems that involve Louisiana law violations such as the teenager being unlicensed, uninsured, or driving illegally on the road. Furthermore, you may have to deal with the teenager’s parents and their insurance company. Our lawyers can help you through the legal process, which includes:
Provide Legal Consultation
You receive legal consultation when you call us. We answer your questions, help you make the right decisions, and prevent you from making mistakes that could hurt your case.
Investigate Your Accident
We will work to uncover the facts and obtain evidence to support your claim. We may look at police reports, medical reports, expert testimony, eyewitness statements, or camera footage of the accident.
Calculate Your Damages
Your lawyer will also help you calculate what your car accident claim is worth, based on all damages. Instead of allowing the insurance company to send you a low offer, you can work with your lawyer to determine your actual losses and what type of settlement you are willing to negotiate.
File a Lawsuit
If the insurance company offers a low settlement or denies your claim, you may have further options. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can act on your behalf and present your case to a judge or jury. We will fight on your behalf to help you pursue damages.
