What Constitutes Personal Injury

Proving negligence is often essential in determining liability for personal injury claims, per the American Bar Association (ABA). Though vehicle accidents are the most common sources of personal injury claims, personal injury can extend to a wide variety of circumstances in which an injury occurred due to the negligence of another party.

In regard to car accidents, personal injury cases often involve negligence claims, which are determined to be the responsibility of the driver who failed in their responsibility of duty of care. If this duty of care is broken by the driver, and an accident occurs resulting in injury, it may be possible for the injured party to pursue a settlement for damages to recover the losses they have incurred.

How Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers May Be Able To Help You After an Accident

There are many ways in which an attorney may be able to assist you after you have suffered an injury due to an accident. An attorney may help fight for your right to compensation if the accident occurred by no fault of your own, ensuring the responsible party is held accountable for your injuries. This is exceptionally important in proving your injuries were the result of another’s negligence, which can factor into the final award settlement. After an accident, especially if an injury occurred, you may be stressed, exhausted, and physically incapacitated. An attorney may be able to assist in a variety of ways and, most importantly, can direct you to the appropriate measures of care to ensure your injuries are handled properly. Here are some of the specific ways in which an attorney may be able to assist you in building a case:

  • Determine the validity of your claim: an attorney can evaluate the various circumstances of your injury and the accident that caused them to determine if you have a case.
  • Save you time: a huge cause for concern for many people after an accident that caused injuries is their lack of time to pursue legal action. Many people wonder if they actually have the time to fight for their right to compensation because between their regular everyday duties, as well as the time they have to now dedicate to their recovery, they may feel pressed for time and a legal case may feel like an additional burden. However, when you hire Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers to fight on your behalf, you will have the ability to focus on the important matters in your daily life, while we take care of the legal aspects regarding your case.
  • No upfront fees: if you are concerned about pursuing legal action because you are worried about the costs of hiring a lawyer, you can rest assured that with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, you pay nothing upfront and nothing until we win a settlement for you.
  • Develop a strong case: it is our aim to represent our clients with full dedication, and we will work to build a strong case and strategy and do our best to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve to cover your losses and expenses related to your injuries.

The Louisiana Statute of Limitations

It is important to discuss the specifics of your case with a legal representative as soon as possible after an accident to ensure all matters related to the legalities of your case are managed in a timely fashion. In Louisiana, the statute of limitations, as stated by Louisiana Civil Code Art. 3492 requires that claims are filed in a specific time frame after an accident occurs, and if this period of time lapses, you may lose the opportunity to file a claim.

At the very first meeting with Alexis and Danielle they took the time to explain everything to us so that we understood what we were going to go through.
