We Will Help You Seek Recoverable Damages After Your Head-On Collision

Head-on collisions often produce enormous damages for victims. As such, you may be left with outstanding medical bills and other expenses. These financial pressures are often intensified by time spent away from work.

You may be entitled to collect payment in the form of a settlement to cover these losses. Potential compensation may cover the following damages:

  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Emergency medical services
  • Prescription medications
  • Assistive medical equipment
  • Surgeries, tests, and operations
  • Psychological torment and mental anguish
  • Loss of income
  • Loss of the capacity to enjoy life

An attorney with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can stand beside you as you process the aftermath of your Gretna head-on collision. We will explain the law as it applies to your case and answer your questions as we walk you through the legal implications of your situation. Our team will put our experience to work for you by building up a legal case to advocate for your rights.

Louisiana Head-On Collision Victims Have Two Years to Pursue an Injury Case

Our legal team will assess the relevance of any state, federal, and local laws that could affect your case’s outcome. Your lawyer will address your questions and concerns as they build your case. Head-on collisions can alter the trajectory of a case depending on where they occur and other factors.

As CC §3492 notes, those who suffer a personal injury in Louisiana have up to two years after the incident to take legal action. The limitation begins the day a victim sustains an injury or damage. Many victims with personal injuries fail to account for state-specific laws such as these when they are involved in an accident.

Rather than waiting until the final moment, a proactive approach will give you and your legal team time to build a case that defends your position. Once you secure your legal team, it will investigate the accident in detail.

Suing For Driver Error

Many head-on collisions are the result of driver error. Your lawyer will look into common driver behaviors and collect evidence to determine who should be held liable for an accident and its damages. Common driver errors that cause head-on collisions include the following:

  • Speeding
  • Drunk driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Inexperience and nerves
  • Wrong-way driving
  • Drowsy driving
  • Texting while driving

Wrong-Way Driving

According to information presented by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), accidents caused by wrong-way driving tend to be some of the severest in terms of property damage and personal injuries. Wrong-way driving causes many head-on collisions in the U.S. and elsewhere. Your lawyer will look into these behaviors and others as they build up a defense on your behalf.

To further examine an accident, a lawyer will often collect phone records, witness reports, photos, and other evidence to support an investigation. From here, your lawyer will take care of all conversations with other parties related to your case. This means you will not have to worry about fielding calls from drivers, insurance companies, law enforcement, or anyone else connected to your situation.

Why Hire an Attorney?

A head-on collision is often a cause for concern both physically and emotionally. Handling the wreckage that follows such an accident is never easy for a victim.

Trying to juggle numerous financial, legal, and health concerns at once can sap you of energy. When you have a lawyer working on your case, you can remove the legal concerns from your circumstances. This way, you are free to focus on getting your life back together after a head-on collision.

An attorney with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will defend your rights after a head-on collision in Gretna. When you are not sure who you can trust, our lawyers will stand by your side. We understand how challenging it can be to work your way through the legal system after a troubling incident like a head-on collision, which is why our lawyers can offer guidance as they work on a case that supports your position.
