Take Head Injuries Seriously

Injuries to the head can be especially scary. The head contains so many important organs, senses, and functions, including:

  • The brain
  • Eyes and ears
  • Spinal column
  • Nerves

Depending on their severity, head injuries can affect one or all of these functions. However, concussions and the brain damage they can cause are probably the first things you think of when you see the phrase “head injury.” They are certainly something to be wary of if you have been in a car accident.

If you do have a head injury, take it seriously, but do not panic. Remember that most concussions are temporary injuries, not permanent ones. With proper monitoring and precautions, many people fully recover from a concussion with no lasting side effects.

After a car accident, it is a good idea to get checked out by a doctor, even if you feel fine. The Mayo Clinic states that most people with concussions do not lose consciousness and that symptoms might take a while to appear. Getting a check-up is a reasonable, even life-saving precaution.

You Might Be Eligible to Collect Damages

Per the Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492, accident victims generally have two years to file for damages, whether they are filing a personal injury lawsuit or a wrongful death lawsuit. To hire a lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, call our team at (504) 777-7777. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can begin fighting for you.

What are we fighting for, specifically? In addition to ensuring the liable party is held responsible for their role in the crash, a lawsuit can get you the money you need to support your family and pay for much-needed medical care, among other things.

The Two Types of Compensation

You can ask for different types of compensation, depending on how your accident and injuries affected you and/or your family. For example, your injuries might have caused your physical and mental health to suffer in ways similar to the following:

  • Reduced quality of life: You need help with or can no longer perform certain tasks (e.g., taking care of your kids, preparing meals, etc.).
  • Disfigurement: You have scars that affect your appearance, your range of motion, or your self-image.
  • Disability: Your injuries have cost you one or more body parts or the use of those parts.
  • Loss of society or companionship: Your loved one passed away because of the accident, leaving you without their guidance, affection, and companionship.

These are referred to as non-economic damages. As you might already have guessed, you can sue for noneconomic damages for both your own suffering (personal injury lawsuit) and the suffering of a loved one who succumbed to their injuries (wrongful death lawsuit).

In addition, your injuries might have cost you money, either by generating a lot of extra bills or by keeping you from doing your job. Your financial situation might have been destabilized by any or all of the following:

  • Lost wages: Your injuries prevented you from working for any length of time.
  • Lost earning capacity: You have been forced to switch to a job that pays less, work fewer hours, or give up your career altogether.
  • Medical costs: You had to pay for a check-up, diagnostic tests, surgery, physical therapy, or any other treatment for your injuries.
  • Funeral costs: After your loved one passed away, you paid for their funeral, burial, estate planning, and other final expenses.

These are referred to as economic damages. Again, most damages listed above may apply to your lawsuit, whether you are filing for yourself or on behalf of your deceased loved one. Your lawyer might suggest other forms of damages to list in your demand letter.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Where to Get Help with Your Lawsuit

If you need compensation but do not feel up to handling a lawsuit alone, consider hiring a Jefferson Parish head injury lawyer. They can do all the difficult legal work while you take the time to recuperate with loved ones and start rebuilding your life. Below is a short outline of how your lawsuit might go with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers fighting for you:

  • Our team may advise you: Lawsuits involve processing a lot of information and making many decisions. Your legal team can help you understand your options so that you can choose which legal route you want to take.
  • Our team may investigate your accident: We can collect evidence related to your case. Doing so can help us identify which party or parties might be liable for your damages. We may also use our evidence to prove that those liable parties were mostly or entirely responsible for your accident.
  • We may calculate your damages: Your lawyer can help you figure out which damages you qualify for and how much money you may be entitled to collect.
  • We may negotiate with the insurance company: If the insurance company wants to negotiate, we are happy to meet with them and fight for compensation on your behalf.
  • We may serve as your advocate: What happens if the insurance company does not offer a settlement that meets your needs? Your lawyer might suggest going to trial. We can schedule the trial and represent you in court.

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers wants to help make a difficult time more endurable by standing up for your rights. A Jefferson Parish head injury lawyer can fight for the money you need, whether at the negotiating table or in the courtroom. Best of all, we do not collect our attorney’s fees until you win compensation, so you do not have to worry about paying us anything upfront.
