ClientDamages You Can Claim After a Jefferson Parish Parking Lot Accident
Insurance companies regularly undermine and undervalue accident claims, even those filed by their own policyholders. They may offer you a minimal settlement when you have mounting medical bills and other damages that must be paid for.
A parking lot accident lawyer from our firm will identify all your damages and ensure you receive total compensation for them.
Economic damages you may be entitled to include:
Past and Future Lost Income
Even a minor injury in a parking lot accident can put you out of work for a few days or weeks. Serious injuries may have you out of work for long periods of time or periodically over many years. You can claim lost wages and tips, benefits, bonuses, and more.
Current Medical Expenses
You can claim emergency medical care, doctors’ visits, prescription medications, and other healthcare costs you incurred after your parking lot accident. This includes medical bills you already paid and those you haven’t paid yet.
Ongoing Treatment Costs
You may need to go to physical therapy, continue seeing specialists, or pay for special accommodations for a disability from your parking lot accident. You can get compensation to cover the projected future costs of these expenses, too.
Property Damage Costs
Your car, bicycle, or other vehicle may be damaged after a parking lot accident. We can claim the costs to repair or replace your vehicle and any other personal property that got damaged.
Non-economic Damages
We can also calculate the non-economic damages you’re facing, which may include:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Trauma
- Disability and scarring
- Lower quality of life
We’ll calculate these and other damages and determine a figure we can work toward during negotiations with insurance companies.
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 | ClientCommon Parking Lot Accident Injuries
Injuries from parking lot accidents are often minor for drivers and passengers. But these accidents can also result in severe injuries, especially if the accident occurred at high speed or you were a pedestrian or bicyclist who was struck.
We have helped our clients recover compensation for these and other injuries:
- Head injuries, including concussions, skull fractures, and traumatic brain injuries
- Neck injuries, like whiplash (which is common in rear-end accidents) and slipped discs
- Back injuries, including spinal cord injuries, slipped discs, and fractures
- Injuries in the arms and legs, such as sprains, fractures, or torn ligaments and tendons
- Internal injuries, such as organ damage and internal bleeding
- Cuts, bruises, and blood loss
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
ClientWho Is Responsible for My Kenner Parking Lot Accident?
Depending on how your accident happened, the responsible party could be:
- Another driver
- The owner of the parking lot if maintenance was a contributing factor to the accident
- A business owner or employee if their negligence contributed to the accident, such as failing to clear carts
Since Louisiana is a fault state, the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate another person’s negligence caused your accident. We can help you gather the evidence you need to show another person acted negligently, their negligence caused the accident, and you suffered damages.
That way, we can file an accurate and thorough claim to get you the compensation you deserve.
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.
ClientWhat If My Parking Lot Accident Is a Hit and Run?
Per RS 32:398, you are required to stop your vehicle after a crash and report an accident to the police. This includes parking lot accidents. But many parking lot accidents involve hit-and-run drivers.
In some cases, the accident happens when you’re away from your car, and you’re left with damage to your vehicle but no one to take the blame. In other cases, you may be in the car and suffer an injury and property damage.
Our Kenner parking lot accident lawyer can calculate your damages, identify all your potential sources of compensation, and file insurance claims. We’ll also collect evidence like footage of the accident and witness testimony to build a strong claim proving the hit-and-run parking lot accident caused damages.
You Have a Limited Time to File a Lawsuit for a Parking Lot Accident
You generally have one year from the date of your parking lot accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent driver (CC Art. 3492). If you lost a loved one during a parking lot accident, you too have a year to file a wrongful death lawsuit against all liable parties (CC Art. 2315.2).
However, there are some exceptions to these rules, and one of our auto accident lawyers can help you understand how the statutes apply to your case.
One year is not a long time to explore all your legal options for recovering compensation. If you miss the deadline, you could lose out on your chance to get justice. So, reach out and enlist us for help while you still can.
