Potentially Recoverable Damages in a Car Accident Case
The insurance claim or lawsuit you file in your car accident case will seek a payout to compensate you for the expenses and losses associated with your accident and injuries. A car accident can lead to a long list of damages.
Some of them are economic, meaning they involve actual financial costs, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages from work
- Reduced earning capacity
Other non-economic damages cannot be quantified in dollar terms and can include:
- Pain and suffering and inconvenience
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
If we handle your case, our team will tabulate your total damages early in the process so that you have an idea of what to expect in terms of a settlement or monetary award. We will use this value to negotiate with the insurer and seek a fair and just agreement for you.
Our wrongful death lawyers serving Crowley also handle car accident claims. If your family member died from their collision injuries, we are here for you. These damages could include:
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of their future income and support
- Intangible losses for each family member based on their relationship

We are Ready to Get Started on Your Case Today
According to CC Art. 3492, the statute of limitations in Louisiana may limit the time you have to take action after suffering injuries or losses. In most cases, this deadline is one year from the accident. However, there may be a different deadline in some cases. This could include:
- When the victim is a child
- When the liable party is a municipality, parish, or another government agency
Our team can determine the deadline that applies in your civil case and ensure you meet it, as long as you call us early enough to do so. You can reach out to us today to get started with your free case assessment.

Our Support Is Not Limited to the Courtroom
When you choose Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers to handle your car accident case, we are here for you. Our team can help you get your life back after an accident. A few of the most common questions asked of us by prospective clients include:
How Can I Pay My Bills While Waiting for an Insurance Settlement?
Until you receive the compensation you deserve for your car accident injuries, you should not feel pressured to pay any more money than you reasonably can.
A car accident attorney from our Crowley team will intervene to work out a forbearance or payment plan with your medical providers that should prevent you from worrying about your bills.
If you are receiving annoying collection calls, we will send cease and desist letters to creditors so that you can recover in peace.
How Can I Support Myself and My Family if I Cannot Work Because of My Injuries?
If you have to miss work while recovering from your car accident injuries, the loss of paychecks can cause you to fall behind on your current bills. Our attorneys can work with your creditors on your behalf so that while you are waiting for your settlement or award, you do not feel pressured to come up with the money you do not have.
As a part of your settlement, we will seek to recover compensation for your lost wages and any reduced ability to earn in the future.
What if the Other Driver Denies Responsibility?
After we accept your case, one of our first tasks is to conduct a thorough investigation into your accident. As part of this investigation, we will collect evidence that supports your claim for compensation. If the other party violated a traffic law, was intoxicated or distracted, or otherwise acted with negligence, we will find out about it.
When will I Receive My Settlement?
Many factors determine the time for a car accident case to work its way through the legal process, making it difficult to answer this question. Rest assured that our team works as quickly as possible to get every client paid. However, we will not agree to a lowball settlement to get a check in the mail fast.
Settling for too little money will prevent you from seeking further damages if you develop worsening injuries or require more intensive treatment. We need to understand your injuries and the value of your case before we accept an offer on your behalf.

We May Be Able to Help Even If the Accident Was Partially Your Fault
In some states, any degree of fault for a car accident—even 1 percent—can render you ineligible to pursue compensation from the other driver and their insurer. Fortunately, Louisiana is not one of those states. Here, you can recover damages in a shared-fault accident proportional to the other driver’s share of the blame under CC Art. 2323.
For instance, if we can prove the other driver was 75 percent at fault for your crash, you can recover 75 percent of your damages. If your damages were $40,000, you could collect $30,000 through a claim or lawsuit.
Our car accident lawyers serving Crowley are ready to assist you with any questions or concerns you have about your accident. We will fight for everything you deserve, and we will never charge attorney’s fees unless we win your case.
