How a Lawyer Can Help You After a Drunk Driving Accident

Drunk driving accidents kill one person every 50 minutes in the United States alone, according to data the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) highlights. Despite the widespread awareness on the subject, drunk driving continues to claim lives, cause severe life-altering personal injuries, and produce substantial property damage. We want to help victims in these kinds of accidents pursue the damages they are owed.

The thought of pursuing an insurance claim or legal action to recover financial awards may be overwhelming to you, especially when you are recovering from a vehicle accident. This is when a lawyer can come in and manage your case for you or your loved one. In fact, hiring an attorney can help ensure your case moves forward in a timely manner.

Louisiana Allows Two Years for Legal Action After an Accident

As the statute of limitations put forth in CC §3492 outlines, Louisiana residents who suffer personal injuries have two years from the accident date to take legal action. Accident victims may be surprised to learn they do not have unlimited time to begin building their case.

Connecting with our lawyer soon after an accident gives you time to get started on constructing your case’s key elements. We will get to work on investigating your accident, looking at every detail.

Our lawyers will work with all necessary parties involved in the accident to discover the accident’s cause. In this effort, we will assemble evidence and identify a liable party to determine who should be held responsible for your damages as a victim.

We Can Handle All the Communications for You

It may be necessary to communicate with other drivers, insurance representatives, and similar parties throughout your case. However, with a lawyer working on your behalf, you will not have to converse with these parties. Instead, we will represent you, negotiate, and collect information on your behalf.

Pursuing Recoverable Damages

If you are a victim of another party’s reckless driving behavior, you may be entitled to collect financial compensation to cover your medical bills and other expenses. Lawyers who defend victims affected by drunk driving strive to pursue multiple avenues of financial compensation. Some recoverable damages you may stand to collect after a drunk driving accident include the following:

  • Past and future medical bills
  • Lost income
  • Psychological trauma
  • Therapy and counseling
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation services
  • Medications
  • Assistive medical devices
  • Surgeries, operations, and medical procedures
  • Property damage
