  • Medical Bills
  • Income Loss
  • Property Damage
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Lasting Disfigurement
Cankton Fatal Car Accident Lawyer

When you are forced to deal with the traumatic loss of a loved one caused by a devastating car accident, you may be left ready to demand justice. Your family is stuck enduring the emotional trauma of your loss, and the financial implications could be overwhelming. 

Fortunately, when you work with a Cankton fatal car accident lawyer at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, you can feel empowered as you demand justice for your loved one. Our team will work diligently to bring the liable party to account so your family can be paid the restitution you are entitled to.

Calculating the Value of Your Fatal Car Accident Case

Your fatal car accident lawyer in Cankton, LA can help you figure out how much compensation you could receive when you go up against a liable party. When pursuing a wrongful death claim, you can seek compensation for your personal losses and the ways your loved one’s injuries affected them before passing.

For example, when pursuing a fatal car accident claim, you have the right to seek restitution for the loss of advice and protection, society and support, companionship and love, guidance, and advice of the decedent. You also have the right to compensation for your loss of the decedent’s income and earning capacity. If you were previously on track to receive an inheritance later in life, this should be considered as your attorney calculates your claim’s value.

The decedent’s estate can be awarded damages for the ways the decedent’s life was affected before their death. This includes coverage of the decedent’s medical expenses, compensation for the decedent’s funeral and burial costs, the physical pain and suffering they experienced before their death, and other financial, emotional, or physical losses.

Free Consultations and Contingency Fee Arrangements

One of the top concerns surviving family members have after losing a loved one is how they are going to afford the costs of hiring a lawyer. Many people assume we must put thousands of dollars down to hire an attorney to take on your case. 

However, this is not the case with us. Our fatal car accident lawyers work with our clients on contingency. This means you are not required to put money down to cover the cost of a lawyer. In fact, you won’t be required to pay any attorney’s fees unless or until we win your fatal car accident claim. If we do not win your case, you are not required to pay anything. 

This includes any out-of-pocket deposition costs, court filing fees, attorney’s fees, and more. Your lawyer is taking all the risk of pursuing your case in the hopes of helping your family obtain the justice they deserve. You can learn more about what percentage of your car accident settlement will go to attorney’s fees, the factors that go into determining how much compensation your attorney should receive, and more during your free consultation.

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

Important Fatal Car Accident Deadlines

Our fatal car accident attorneys can begin investigating liability as soon as possible after the collision. In fact, the sooner we can get started on your case, the better. In wrongful death cases, the evidence that could prove liability may only be available for a short amount of time. 

For instance, if a nearby grocery store caught the collision on their surveillance cameras, this video footage could prove invaluable in supporting your case. However, if your attorney is unable to obtain this evidence because it was written over within days or deleted, you may not have access to this evidence anymore. So, it is imperative you allow our firm to get to work on your case immediately.

The statute of limitations has already begun counting down for your potential lawsuit. Under Louisiana wrongful death law, fatal car accident lawsuits must be filed before the one-year statute of limitations runs out (CC Art. 2315.2). If your lawsuit is not filed before the deadline, the Louisiana civil court system will simply refuse to hear your case. You don’t want to miss your chance to collect the compensation you deserve; let’s get started before it’s too late.

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.
