Hammond Speeding Accident Lawyer

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you seek financial awards if a speeding driver caused your accident. We can set out to help you prove that the motorist who injured you and damaged your property was driving over the speed limit or driving too fast for the road conditions.

Our lawyers can help you negotiate a fair insurance settlement in a Hammond speeding accident or take your case to civil court, if necessary. We want to help you achieve the compensation you need to get back on your feet.

We Can Help You Hold the at-fault Driver Accountable for Your Damages

Medical treatment, vehicle repairs, and time off work can add up to tens of thousands of dollars. The speeding driver who caused your accident should pay for these damages. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you pursue:

Economic Damages

Our car accident attorneys can help you determine your out-of-pocket medical expenses and future health care needs. You could be compensated for the cost of hospitalizations, medications, medical procedures, rehabilitative services, long-term nursing care, and any other essential treatment. We can also help you calculate and seek awards for your damaged property, lost wages, and loss of future earning potential.

Non-Economic Damages

Accidents can result in paralysis, loss of a limb, back, spine, neck injuries, and brain injuries. If you sustained a severe or permanent injury, you could win compensation for your pain and suffering and how your injuries have reduced your quality of life.

You can also win awards for the mental and emotional toll of your accident. This includes compensation for anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Wrongful Death

If your loved one died because of their car accident injuries, you can seek economic and non-economic damages on their behalf. This includes their medical treatment and their funeral and burial costs. You may also be eligible to seek compensation for the loss of your loved one’s financial and household contributions, your loss of companionship, and your loss of consortium.

Proving the Driver’s Speed Caused Your Crash is Important

Louisiana has laws regarding the maximum speed limits on state roads. Additionally, RS §32:64 states that no driver shall operate a vehicle faster than is “reasonable and prudent” given the road conditions, weather conditions, potential hazards, or traffic.

A speeding accident lawyer serving Hammond can collect evidence to prove that another driver violated speeding laws, causing your crash. We can show the other driver is at fault by using:

  • Photographs of the accident site
  • Police reports
  • Medical records
  • Expert testimony
  • Video footage
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Speeding or red-light camera footage
  • Vehicle repair records
  • Crash reconstruction

Rounding up documentation and obtaining records can take a lot of time and effort. Let our attorneys take care of the hassle of this important task for you. We will do the necessary work to get the evidence we need to support your insurance claim or lawsuit. We handle your case so that you can focus on your recovery.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Louisiana’s Statute of Limitations Limits Your Filing Time

The sooner you contact our firm, the sooner a speeding accident lawyer can get to work on your insurance claim. While there is no time limit for reaching an insurance agreement, you are bound by the statute of limitations if you cannot settle your case outside of court.

According to CC §3492, you have two years from your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you are seeking compensation on behalf of a deceased loved one, you have two years from the date of their death to file a wrongful death lawsuit, according to CC §2315.2.

Contributory Negligence

If your case goes to court, CC §2323 could affect your verdict amount. This is Louisiana’s comparative negligence statute. It states that for any action for personal injury or wrongful death, the court will assign each party a percentage of fault.

If your actions contributed to your accident, your awards will be reduced by your amount of fault. For example, if you win $100,000, and the court finds your accident is 10 percent because of your actions, you would receive $90,000.

CTA CTA

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
