When a serious injury results due to negligence, more than one party may face liability for your injuries. Identifying all parties responsible for your harm is where we may be able to help you. For example, a truck accident may have been caused by both a drunk driver and faulty brakes. To prove your case, we must demonstrate that the responsible party or parties owed you a duty of care. As part of the duty of care process, we must also prove:
In the example above, both the driver and the trucking company that employs them can serve as defendants due to their liability. Other examples of possible liability include:
No one should put profits over people or fail to take time to use care on Louisiana roadways. When someone fails to extend the same care to you as you do to others, hold them responsible for their negligence with the help of Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers.
No matter how your personal injury occurred, state law limits the time allowed for pursuing civil action.

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we know what steps are necessary for filing your lawsuit on time. We feel honored when clients trust us with the details of their case. It can place your mind at ease, knowing someone is on your side and fighting for justice on your behalf. Gathering evidence before it becomes lost and interviewing witnesses before their memory fades is essential for your case. Let us get to work on your behalf by reaching out to our team today.
