During a free consultation, we’ll review your situation with you and explain how an Alexandria organ damage lawyer from our personal injury law firm can help you recover damages. Afterward, if you hire us, our lawyer can work on your case on a contingency fee basis.
What Damages Can I Recover in My Alexandria Organ Damage Case?
In any personal injury case, like a car accident case, a victim or family member can recover certain damages from the at-fault or liable party. In a catastrophic personal injury case like one involving internal organ injuries, a victim or family member may be able to recover additional damages.
You could recover many or all the following damages in your catastrophic injury case:
- Physical pain, suffering, and impairment/disability
- Mental anguish
- Emotional trauma
- The costs of emergency medical attention, hospital care, and extended care
- The costs of assistive medical devices and accommodative home renovations
- Lost income, benefits, and lost wage-earning potential
- Property-related costs
Punitive Damages
These damages can apply to a catastrophic injury case like yours. If a judge determines the at-fault party was grossly negligent, the judge may award these damages. A catastrophic injury lawyer from our firm can tell you more about punitive damages.
Wrongful Death Damages
Our Alexandria wrongful death attorney can also tell you about wrongful death damages if you lost a loved one who suffered fatal internal injuries. These damages are for certain family members of a deceased victim and can include loss of spousal support, loss of parental support, and additional damages.

ClientWho Is Responsible for My Damages in My Organ Damage Case?
You deserve compensation for your injuries and the incident, and you also deserve a sense of receiving justice, too. You may find both through a claim against the at-fault party or a lawsuit.
First, if you handle your case yourself, you’ll have to identify the party responsible for your injuries. Depending on the nature of your incident, this party could be a motorist, a rideshare company, an employer, or even the local government. There could even be multiple parties that share responsibility. You’ll have to investigate the incident to determine who’s responsible.
You’d also have to prove the party is responsible for your damages. To do this, you’d have to show the insurer or a judge why the party was irresponsible and how their actions led to your damages.
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 | ClientWhy Should I Hire an Alexandria Organ Damage Lawyer?
If you hire one of our injury lawyers for your case, we can take care of everything, giving you the time you need to focus on recovering. We will identify all at-fault or liable parties and show how they are responsible for the harm you or your loved one suffered. Also, since your lawyer will pursue your award on contingency, you won’t have to worry about financial matters. You can handle your health and family matters without distraction.
Your lawyer will take care of all the following for you and more:
- Determining the damages you can claim: These could include many damages you aren’t aware you can claim, such as loss of consortium (if applicable). Your lawyer will also determine whether you can claim punitive damages and/or wrongful death damages.
- Determining the value of your case: Your lawyer will have valuation methods to attribute fair monetary values to your intangible damages, such as your emotional damages.
- Identifying the liable party: To do this, an attorney will collect evidence of the other party’s responsibility for the incident and your injuries. Such evidence could be a witness’s account of the incident or your doctor’s statement about your injuries.
- Establishing the responsible party: To accomplish this, your lawyer will show that the party owed you a duty of care and violated that duty, that their actions caused the incident, and that the incident resulted in your organ damage.
- Negotiating your settlement: Even if you and your lawyer sue the other party right away in your case, your lawyer may still be able to negotiate a fair settlement for you with their insurer. They will fight for all your damages and can seek to sue if they cannot settle your case outside of court.
- Litigating your case: If you and your lawyer decide to sue at any point, they can take care of the entire process, from preparing the lawsuit to resolving your case at trial.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
ClientWhat Should I Know About Suing in My Case?
Something else our attorney team can help with is considering whether to sue in your case. Suing may be more effective than settling your case, and it may also help you hold the other party directly accountable for your injuries and the incident. This could help you find a sense of closure.
After learning about your legal options, if you and your lawyer agree that taking action is the next step, they will prepare your case to meet the filing deadline for a personal injury lawsuit in Louisiana. Generally, the deadline is one year from the date of an injury, per CC Art. 3492.
