A Personal Injury Lawyer Wants to Hear Your Story

The team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers specializes in personal injuries, and we want to help if you were injured because of somebody else’s neglect. Every victim of a personal injury is unique. We want to hear about the circumstances that led you to become injured or sick, so that we can proceed with your case as soon as possible. We can serve you by:

  • Speaking with you in person or over the phone to hear about your hardship and to create an official account of how you sustained your injuries or became ill
  • After speaking with you, filing all of the paperwork necessary for your case to be recognized in the courts
  • Speaking with the counsel for the defendant in your case to see if they would like to settle and, if so, what they are offering
  • Collecting available evidence of wrongdoing, such as pictures or video of the scene where the accident occurred
  • Discovering and organizing any new evidence that could strengthen your case
  • Interviewing any witnesses to the accident or the conditions that caused the accident
  • Conducting any tests that could bolster your case if your claim is based on exposure to an unsafe substance
  • Completing every step necessary to obtain a judgement or settlement on your behalf
    Defending your rights throughout your entire case

Your focus right now should be on recovering from any injuries you sustained or fighting any illness that has befallen you. A Grand Coteau personal injury attorney will handle the rest. If they are successful, you may collect awards to help ease the financial strain of your injuries or illness.

Possible Awards Stemming From a Successful Personal Injury Claim

Everything about your case is unique, including your injuries, the cause of those injuries, and the defendant who is responsible for those injuries. Because your case is so specific (and we have yet to hear it), there is no guaranteeing precisely what amount of compensation to which you may be entitled. Some possibilities may include coverage for:

  • Any emergency transportation that you took from the scene of your accident
  • Any medical care that you required upon arrival at the hospital, especially if it was emergency care
  • Any diagnostic tests that you underwent after the accident
  • Any surgeries or other medical procedures required because of your accident
  • The entirety of your hospital stay post-accident
  • If you are suffering from an illness, the cost of all treatments for that illness (such as chemotherapy and radiation for cancer)
  • Any income that you have sacrificed because of your injury or illness
  • If you are able to work, any diminished earning power caused by the effects of your injury or illness
  • Any educational, professional, or personal opportunities that you can no longer pursue because of the effects of your accident or injuries
  • Pain and suffering that has resulted from the accident, injuries, or illness that you endured
  • Punitive damages against the defendant or defendants in your case

The specifics of your case may entitle you to additional awards, and a personal injury lawyer can help you better understand what those may be. Call our team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today to discuss your case further, at no cost.

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. They checked in on us to see how things were going with DR appointment and therapy. They checked in on the phone or by text and if I had a question and I was in Lafayette and I would stop by the office one of them would come to answer my questions. I truly appreciate the response and respect that they showed to me and my husband and I would really recommend them to family and friends.

I am able to witness Karely Cornwell handle calls from people who are in need of Laborde Earles services. She is always polite and professional. I think it’s safe to assume that the majority of people who call in are stressed and to have someone who is calm and kind taking the call is a great representation of the company.
