A car accident can lead to a long list of damages and losses. Some of them are economic, meaning they involve actual financial depletion, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages from work
- Reduced earning capacity
Other noneconomic damages cannot be quantified in dollar terms and can include:
- Pain and suffering and inconvenience
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
In Louisiana, car accident victims have the right to go after the at-fault party and their insurance company for compensation for both economic and noneconomic losses.
At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we fight for the rights of car accident victims in Louisiana. A Crowley car accident lawyer from our team will collect evidence on your behalf, put together your case, and aggressively go after the other driver’s insurance company, seeing to it that they compensate you fully and fairly. We want to defend your rights and keep you updated at every step of the case.

Our Support Does Not End in the Courtroom
We can help you get your life back to normal after an accident. A few of the most common questions asked of us by prospective clients cover the following topics:
How to Pay Your Bills While Waiting for Your 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 Crowley car accident attorney from our 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 to Support Yourself and Your Family if You Are Absent From Work
If you have to miss work while recovering from your car accident injuries and you do not have disability coverage, 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.
If the Other Driver Denies Responsibility
One of our first tasks after we take your case 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 during, before, or after your accident, we will find out about it.
It is Impossible to Know How Soon You Will Receive Your Settlement
Because a host of factors determines the time for a car accident case to work its way through the legal process, it is difficult to answer this question without more information. Rest assured that we will work nonstop to get you paid as quickly as possible—but the one thing we will not do is agree to a lowball settlement just to get a check in the mail fast. An action of this kind can prevent you from seeking further damages if you develop a condition or worsening injuries after accepting the initial offer.
We Can Help Even if the Accident Was Partially Your Fault
In some states, any degree of fault for a car accident—even one percent—can render you ineligible to pursue the other driver and their insurance company for compensation. 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 Louisiana State Legislature Art. 2323. So, for instance, if we can prove that the other driver was 75% at fault, and your damages were $40,000, you can collect $30,000, or 75% of the total.
Our Crowley car accident lawyers 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 a fee until we win your case.
