Andrew Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the event of a car accident, pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely to get killed when compared to passenger vehicle occupants. The CDC notes that in 2017, over 137,000 pedestrians suffered nonfatal injuries as a result of motor vehicle crashes. While walking to and from certain destinations offers an array of benefits, it can also be risky if motorists do not uphold their duty of care.

If you or a loved one suffered injuries in a motor vehicle accident as a pedestrian, an Andrew pedestrian accident lawyer can serve as your legal advocate. They can determine what factors caused your accident, evaluate the cost of your damages, and gather evidence of negligence.

Recovering compensation for your losses can work to address your financial burdens. Our team believes that you should not be responsible for the damages arising from an accident you did not cause. To connect with a member of our team, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today at (337) 777-7777.

Determining Liability for Your Damages

Your Andrew pedestrian accident lawyer can review the evidence in your case to determine fault and liability for your injuries. Depending on the nature of your situation, you could have a case for damages against multiple parties. For instance, if you were injured in a poorly designed parking lot, you could have a case against the driver who hit you and the entity responsible for the parking lot’s design.

Some liable parties in your accident case could include:

The Liable Driver’s Insurance Company

If the at-fault motorist has insurance coverage, you might be able to recover compensation through a settlement with their insurer. However, many insurance companies offer settlements that are less than what injured claimants deserve. With our team by your side, we can protect you against any unfair insurance strategies. If we cannot reach an agreement, then we can file a lawsuit.

The Driver’s Employer

If you were injured by a motorist who was operating a company vehicle (like a truck), you might have a case against their employer. Employers can be held responsible for the actions of their employees, according to the Legal Information Institute. We understand that negotiating with a large company can become a stressful experience. However, when you work with an Andrew pedestrian accident lawyer, we can work to achieve a fair settlement on your behalf.

A Vehicular Parts Manufacturer

If the accident was due to a vehicle’s defective design or components, the parts manufacturer could be held responsible for your injuries. For instance, let’s say that you were walking in a parking lot. Maybe the motorist saw you but could not brake in time because of a faulty vehicular component. In that case, you could have a case against the at-fault driver and the parts manufacturer.

In some cases, a vehicle’s defects are due to poor maintenance work done by a mechanic or an auto body shop. In such a case, the mechanic’s insurance provider may compensate you for your injuries.

There may be other parties responsible for your losses than those we have discussed here. When you call the team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we can talk about how your Andrew pedestrian accident lawyer can assign fault and liability. To get started, dial (337) 777-7777.

Louisiana’s Negligence Laws

In Louisiana, you are allowed to pursue compensation even if you hold some portion of fault for the accident. Louisiana is a pure comparative negligence state, meaning that you can pursue compensation for your losses no matter what your percentage of fault was, per Louisiana Civil Code § 2323. However, your portion of fault will be deducted from your settlement amount. So, for instance, if your portion of fault was deemed to be 20%, you would be able to recover 80% of your losses.

Your lawyer can gather evidence to demonstrate how the accident occurred. They can use the information they find to determine who can be held liable for your injuries.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Services Offered by an Andrew Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

While you deal with the aftermath of your accident, you may be interested to learn more about how a lawyer can help you. You and your lawyer will share one common goal: getting compensation for your accident-related losses. They can calculate the cost of your medical bills, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and other damages to arrive at an accurate value regarding your losses. From there, they can negotiate with the liable insurance company on your behalf. If these negotiations do not yield a favorable outcome, then you have two years to file a lawsuit, per Louisiana Civil Code § 3492.

Your lawyer can also:

  • Investigate the circumstances of your accident
  • Determine fault and liability for your losses
  • Consult with third-party field experts, like accident reconstruction specialists
  • Evaluate the cost of your damages
  • Read the relevant insurance policies
  • Build a case on your behalf
  • Advise you on your legal options

We can explain more about how a lawyer can advance your legal interests when you call us today.
