Chalmette Parking Lot Accident Lawyer

With so many cars coming and going and fighting for parking spots, accidents in parking lots are bound to happen. You might be at the Home Depot on West Judge Perez Drive or getting ready to leave the Winn-Dixie on Paris Road when it happens: another car hits yours, or even worse, hits you as you walk across the parking lot.

Accidents in parking lots are usually less serious than accidents on the road, but they can still cause severe injuries and extensive property damage, both of which come with expensive bills. If another driver caused an accident that left you with injuries or a damaged vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation for medical care, property damage, and more. A Chalmette parking lot accident lawyer with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you seek damages.

How a Lawyer Can Help You After a Parking Lot Accident in Chalmette

Going through a parking lot accident can be stressful, and you might not know what to do afterward. You may wonder if you have a valid legal case, and if so, how much it could be worth. You might not know how to go about seeking compensation from the other driver or proving that they caused the accident. Our parking lot accident lawyer in Chalmette, LA can help you with all these questions and more.

Our car accident lawyers can:

Evaluate Your Case for Free

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we offer free case consultations to potential clients. During this call, we get the chance to hear your story and evaluate the merits of your case. We will then give you our honest assessment of your next best steps.

Likewise, you have the opportunity to get to know us and decide whether you are comfortable working with our lawyers. If you decide to hire our team, we can move forward immediately.

Investigate Your Parking Lot Accident

As soon as you sign on as a client, we will begin to investigate your parking lot accident. We will look for evidence showing that the other driver’s negligence led to your accident. This evidence may include:

  • Interviews with you and other eyewitnesses
  • Footage from security cameras in the parking lot
  • Cell phone records
  • Police reports
  • Pictures of the scene

Estimate the Value of Your Losses

To estimate the value of your losses, we will use evidence such as your: 

  • Medical bills and records
  • Pictures of your vehicle
  • Receipts
  • Estimates for your vehicle’s repair or replacement
  • Past wage statements
  • Past tax documents 

We will use this to make our case as we seek compensation from the other driver’s insurance company.

Seek Compensation From the Other Driver and Their Insurance Company

Once we know how much your case is worth, we will work hard to get compensation for your losses. We will start by seeking compensation from the other driver’s insurance company. We can resolve most cases through an out-of-court settlement. 

Sometimes, the other party refuses to make a fair offer or will not accept liability, and we cannot resolve your case with a settlement. When that happens, we can seek damages by filing a lawsuit and representing you in court.

Various Types of Parking Lot Accidents

Drivers in a parking lot are often in a hurry, and they may not take the time to look before pulling out or backing up. Other times, they drive right across the spaces instead of following the marked lanes or obeying the stop signs. Here are some common examples of parking lot accidents:

  • One car backs up out of a spot into another car.
  • One car pulls forward through a spot into another car.
  • Two cars back into each other.
  • One car rear ends another.
  • One car hits another while driving across the lot.
  • One car hits a pedestrian.

How Much Is My Parking Lot Accident Case in Chalmette Worth?

Every case is different. In general, parking lot accidents that cause more severe injuries and extensive damage to your vehicle are worth more than accidents that cause minor injuries and property damage. Our parking lot accident attorney in Chalmette, LA can estimate how much your case is worth after investigating the incident and its impact on your life.

Here are some of the damages you could recover:

Economic Damages

Economic damages compensate you for tangible losses, such as bills or lost income, that you incur because of the accident. Available damages may include:

  • Medical bills for your ambulance costs, emergency care, diagnostic imaging, follow-up appointments, surgeries, rehabilitative therapy, medications, and more 
  • Medical equipment such as braces, crutches, wheelchairs, and more 
  • Auto body repairs if the accident scratches or dents your vehicle or breaks any lights
  • Engine repairs if the accident damages your vehicle’s engine
  • Loss of income, including salary, wages, and tips, if you are out of work temporarily or permanently

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages compensate you for intangible losses caused by the parking lot accident. These losses are harder to quantify, but our attorneys know how to estimate how much your losses are worth. You could recover noneconomic damages if you experience:

  • Chronic pain
  • A long recovery period 
  • Emotional trauma
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Amputation or loss of function of a body part

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

File Your Lawsuit Before Time Runs Out

Louisiana places strict time limits on personal injury cases, so you must act quickly after your parking lot accident or risk forfeiting your legal rights. CC Art. 3492 gives you just two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. If you wait any longer, you lose the right to sue even if you have a strong case.

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.
