Alexandria Head Injury Lawyer

 

If you or a loved one has sustained a head injury in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages. Head injuries are often traumatic and can cause conditions that have a severe effect on someone’s quality of life. In some cases, these conditions can be permanent and require life-long medical care.

An Alexandria head injury lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can provide legal guidance and representation if you decide to file a personal injury lawsuit. We are a contingency-fee firm and can manage all parts of your case while you focus on recovering from your injuries.

How Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Can Help You

If your injury was caused by the negligent actions of another party, they can be held legally accountable for your damages. We are here to represent you and your loved ones in settlement negotiations or a court of law and to put your worries to rest.

When someone is recovering from a head injury, they may be admitted to a hospital or other facility for treatment and recovery. In addition to recovering from your ordeal, factors such as insurance companies, court dates, and the need for evidence can make the legal process very stressful.

Fortunately, a lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can handle all communications, evidence gathering, and paperwork for you. We can also determine what forms of compensation you may be entitled to.

Compensation Available in a Head Injury Case

You may not be able to reclaim compensation for all of your truck accidents expenses. Forms of compensation that can be pursued in the case of a head injury include:

Medical Expenses

The responsible party may owe you compensation for all of your current and future medical expenses. Some of these include:

  • Emergency surgery
  • Subsequent surgeries
  • Hospital stays
  • X-rays
  • Prescription drugs
  • Doctor’s appointments
  • Lab tests
  • Physical therapy

Pain and Suffering and Other Non-Economic Damages

We can prove and calculate the value of your pain and suffering. Other non-economic losses that may be available in your case could include:

  • Emotional distress
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Lost Wages Due to the Inability To Work

If you are forced to miss work due to the need to recover, we can calculate the wages that you were unable to earn. Due to the serious nature of head injuries, you may be required to take weeks or even months off from work. This can result in a great economic loss or medical debt for you and your family.

Wrongful Death Damages

Head injuries can easily be fatal. In the case of wrongful death, we may be able to secure the following forms of compensation for the surviving family members of the decedent:

  • Burial and funeral expenses
  • Expenses for medical care previous to the decedent passing away
  • Loss of wages and benefits provided by the decedent
  • Loss of companionship

Additional types of wrongful death damages not listed here may also be available to you.

How to Prove Liability in a Head Injury Lawsuit

In general, four elements must be proven in a court of law to establish liability on the part of the defendant. These elements illustrate the action or inaction of the defendant that ultimately caused your head injury.

  • Duty of Care: the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care to prevent or restrain themselves from committing harm to them.
  • Breach of Duty: this duty was breached, whether by inaction to prevent the injury or deliberate action.
  • Causation: it can be determined that the defendant’s actions or failure to act caused the plaintiff’s damages.
  • Damages: because of the defendant’s actions, the plaintiff has sustained measurable damages. In the case of a head injury, it would include the actual injuries and medical costs for treating those injuries.

Once these elements are proven in a court of law, the defendant may be found liable for your losses and held legally responsible for providing compensation. An Alexandria head injury lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can request, collect, and compile evidence to prove the four elements of liability in your case.

This evidence may include:

  • Visual evidence, such as surveillance footage or dashcam footage
  • Medical records
  • Police reports
  • Witness testimony

The Deadline To Sue in Louisiana

As stated in CC 3493.1, the general statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in the state of Louisiana is only two years. You have exactly two years from the date of the accident (personal injury cases) or your loved one’s death (wrongful death cases) to file a lawsuit.

If you wait too long and allow this deadline to pass before taking legal action, your lawsuit may be dismissed.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
