Working with a Lawyer Can Strengthen Your Case
For most accident victims, this is the first time they are considering or pursuing a civil claim for compensation. This can be an overwhelming and stressful process. If you fail to comply with certain rules, you may lose your right to compensation. In Louisiana, for example, you only have one year from the accident date to bring your lawsuit for compensation, according to Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492.
Here are some ways your lawyer will work with you to pursue your case:
- Interview you about the situation to find out what happened
- Gather evidence to support your case
- Prepare you for court appearances or depositions
- Discuss the case with the other parties and the courts
- Ensure that essential documents are filed on time
- Respond to daily phone calls and emails
- Keep track of key documents in your case
- Ensure that insurance companies are treating you fairly
- Pursue a settlement if you choose to seek one
- Locate expert witnesses to consult on the case and testify on your behalf
- Prepare for trial

ClientGet the Compensation You Deserve
If you were hurt in a rollover accident and want to pursue compensation, the first step is understanding what you will need to prove. A rollover accident is a type of personal injury accident. To win compensation in a personal injury case, you need to show four things:
- The other driver owed you a duty to drive with reasonable care and skill.
- The other driver did not drive according to that duty.
- You were injured due to this failure.
- You suffered damages due to your injuries.
Types of Damages You Can Pursue
There are many different types of damages you can claim in a lawsuit. This is a key aspect of your case, and a Kenner rollover accident lawyer can make sure you request every penny you deserve. A few types of damages a car crash victim will typically ask for include:
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
There are probably other expenses that you would not have to pay if you weren’t hurt in a rollover accident. Keep detailed records and receipts of all of your costs so that you can claim them in a potential lawsuit.
