What If You Need Help Now
While many cases settle out of court, they can still take time. After all, the statute of limitations in Louisiana is typically one year from your loved one’s passing, according to CC Art. 2315.2. Although we use that time to move your case forward through evidence gathering and negotiation, we know that a year is a long time when you have financial concerns.
If you need assistance with bills, lost income, or other losses immediately, we can connect you to the resources you may need while we are working on your case. Our slogan is “on my side” for a reason.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientWe Pursue Damages for Fatal Car Accident Victims and Their Families
Damages could cover any costs related to the accident, including:
- Emergency care expenses
- Surgeries and other medical intervention
- Hospice and end-of-life healthcare
- Funeral and burial costs
In the early days, you may not realize the full scope of what your loved one’s passing will cost. The cost of services, memorials, and burials can add up quickly, as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) notes.
Don’t settle for less by agreeing to an early offer that doesn’t consider all these expenses. We can review any settlement offers and ensure they reflect reality.
Personalized Damages for Personal Losses
The hole left behind by the deceased is represented by more than just expenses. We can pursue compensation that recognizes the loss of:
- Income
- Guidance
- Support
- Companionship
We can consult your family, your loved one’s employer, and financial experts to understand the income the deceased would have provided. For other forms of damages, like loss of parental guidance or spousal companionship, what we pursue is based on your relationship and bond with your lost loved one.
If You Were Injured in the Same Accident
Our personal injury lawyers can assist you if you were injured as well. You could receive compensation to cover:
- Medical and treatment bills
- Mental health support
- Prescriptions and equipment
- Lost income
- Reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Diminished quality of life
If you were a victim of the same motor vehicle accident, our fatal auto accident attorneys in Henry, LA can evaluate and pursue both cases.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
ClientOur Fatal Accident Lawyers Tie Evidence to Negligent Parties
You may not know what happened to cause the car accident. Making matters worse is when adjusters or negligent parties attempt to avoid liability or put blame on the deceased.
Don’t give up in the face of these attempts. We can work to draw a line connecting negligent actions to the fatal accident through:
- Evidence like police reports, photos, debris, traffic camera footage, eyewitness testimony, and video
- Medical information like doctor’s notes, paperwork, records, imaging, and attempts at medical intervention
- Expert consultation like accident reconstruction, analysis of the scene, and testimony from doctors, mechanics, actuaries, economists, and other specialists
We can even pursue specific information that could shed light on what happened. For instance, if an eyewitness testifies that the other driver was texting while driving, we can work to obtain their phone records, texts, or social media posts from that time.
If someone is unfairly blaming your loved one or using other tactics to avoid providing compensation, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can stand up for you and your lost family member.
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.
