Your Legal Options After a Baton Rouge Pedestrian Accident

After your pedestrian accident in Baton Rouge, the at-fault party must reimburse you for the losses you sustained. To facilitate reimbursement, Louisiana requires drivers to carry liability coverage for vehicles they own.

Liability coverage provides compensation to the injured party if the driver causes an accident. It pays for things such as medical bills and property damage. So, the other party’s insurance company may reach out to you during the claims process.

They might be looking for ways to limit their liability. For example, something you say may imply you were at fault, thereby reducing your settlement.

Get Help With Your Financial Losses With a Personal Injury Lawyer

With the help of our Baton Rouge pedestrian accident lawyer, you won’t have to worry about jeopardizing your case. We can handle talks with the insurance company. Our lawyer can also employ their negotiation skills to seek maximum compensation for you.

Liability in a Baton Rouge Pedestrian Accident Case

A driver who hit you may be liable for your accident if their actions were negligent. Examples of negligence among drivers include:

  • Driving while drunk or distracted
  • Disobeying traffic regulations
  • Failure to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians
  • Speeding

Sometimes, however, multiple parties contribute to your pedestrian accident. Consider a truck driver who causes an accident because they were tired after working too many hours. Their employer may also be liable for encouraging them to exceed the required work hours.

Your pedestrian accident may additionally happen because of a defective part of the car. You can then hold the manufacturer partly responsible.

Your skilled pedestrian accident lawyer can gather all the facts of the case to determine how your accident happened and which parties are responsible. Your lawyer can then help you recover damages from them.

How Sharing Fault for the Accident Affects Your Compensation

If you shared part of the fault for your pedestrian accident, you don’t lose your chance to recover compensation. Instead, your percentage of fault for the accident will be determined and used to reduce the amount of compensation.

This is known as comparative fault. For example, being 15% at fault for the accident means you may recover 85% of the total compensation.

The defense may try to reduce their financial responsibility as much as possible by using the comparative fault law. A lawyer on our team can rely on evidence to establish fault in your personal injury lawsuit. By doing so, they protect your right to receive compensation.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
