Contributing Factors for Pedestrian Accidents in Carencro

Drivers have a responsibility to exercise care while on the road to avoid harming others, including pedestrians. But some drivers are negligent and end up causing serious pedestrian accidents. Drunk driving, for example, is a form of negligence.

Driving while drunk affects concentration, judgment, and coordination. All these skills are essential in ensuring safety while driving. So, when a driver is impaired, there are higher chances that the driver will cause an accident. 

Speeding is dangerous because it makes it hard to stop the car on time to avoid a dangerous situation. When combined with other dangerous conditions such as bad weather and poor visibility, speeding can be fatal. Another major cause of pedestrian accidents is the failure of drivers to yield the right of way. We can help identify how your pedestrian accident happened and hold the responsible party accountable.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Lafayette Parish

After your pedestrian accident, get information on the other driver’s insurance and how to reach them. While talking to the other party, be careful not to admit fault for the incident. A seemingly harmless action like apologizing may be taken as you admitting responsibility for the accident.

If you can safely do so, take photos and/or videos of the accident. Be sure to capture the scene of the accident, your injuries, and road conditions. These can help during the investigation process. Call law enforcement to the scene of the accident. The police will note down their observations of the incident, witness information, and data on the involved parties.

From the scene of the accident, go to the hospital for medical care. The doctor will note down the severity of your injuries in your medical records. These records can help your lawyer prove 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.

Damages That Our Lawyer Can Help You Recover After a Pedestrian Accident

The defendant must pay for your losses after a pedestrian accident. Compensation may cover your medical bills both now and in the future. This may include the cost of ambulance services, doctor’s fees, physical therapy, medication, and surgery.

If you cannot go to work during recovery, you risk losing income. Thus, you can recover damages for these lost wages. Sometimes, you may have a permanent disability from the accident that keeps you from ever returning to gainful employment. In such a case, you can recover lost future earning potential.

Other damages are not so easy to assign a monetary value to. They are known as non-economic damages. Examples are pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress. A Carencro pedestrian accident lawyer from our firm can help you identify all the applicable damages in your case. They can then work tirelessly to help you obtain compensation for these losses.

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

Deadline for Filing a Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit in Louisiana

At times, you may need to take a pedestrian accident case to a civil court. For example, if you cannot settle with the other party’s insurance company.

There is a deadline known as the statute of limitations that states the time you have to bring a lawsuit. According to CC Art. 3492, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years from the day of your injury.

If you do not honor the statute of limitations in your case, you risk losing your chance to obtain compensation. This is because the court may dismiss your case. Our pedestrian accident lawyer can ensure you meet this crucial deadline.

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.

We Can Collect Evidence to Determine Fault in Your Pedestrian Accident

Determining fault is important in pedestrian accident cases because the at-fault party is responsible for your compensation. Your lawyer can conduct extensive investigations to determine how the pedestrian accident happened.

In doing so, the lawyer can establish who was at fault. Some of the evidence that your lawyer may collect includes:

  • Videos or photos of the accident
  • Witness statements
  • Medical records
  • Police accident report
  • Expert testimonies

Gathering evidence will help your lawyer build a strong case that helps prove the other party acted negligently. Proving negligence usually involves showing a duty of care, its violation, and resulting injuries and damages.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Legal Advocate

One of the most important considerations when choosing a lawyer is the attorney’s fees. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we use a contingency fee system. Under this structure, you pay zero legal fees until we win or settle your case.

You may also want to consider the lawyer’s mode of communication. We can keep you updated on the progress of your case. In doing so, you can have peace of mind and focus on getting better.

A pedestrian accident lawyer specializes in cases like yours. So, they know how to help you fight for compensation, whether it’s through settlement negotiations or court proceedings.
