Kenner Head Injury Lawyer

If you have a head injury from a car accident caused by another driver in Kenner, Louisiana, you may be entitled to financial compensation. A lawyer from our office could help you file an insurance claim or a lawsuit.

You can use the money you receive from an insurance settlement or jury award to pay for continuing medical care, support your family, and much more. Your legal action can also ensure that the party who caused your injuries is held to account for their negligent or reckless behavior.

How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Assist with Your Case

In addition to investigating the accident, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will handle all legal aspects of your case when we represent you. A lawyer from our firm can help by:

  • Establishing the value of your losses: We can collect evidence such as bills and receipts to support the dollar amount of your case. You may be entitled to compensation for damage to your vehicle, medical bills, and more.
  • Communicating with the other driver and their insurance company: We can take over all written and verbal communication with the other parties in the case.
  • Negotiating for a settlement: Our firm can fight for a settlement that effectively compensates you for your injuries and the associated expenses.
  • Filing a lawsuit: If we cannot negotiate a fair settlement, we can file a lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.

Although we do all of the legal work, this is still your case. You deserve to:

  • Be kept in the loop: We contact our clients whenever there is a big development in their case.
  • Receive compassionate advice: Feel free to call us if you have any doubts or concerns, or if you need help making a legal decision.
  • Not worry about paying legal fees: We never charge our clients attorney’s fees unless and until we win compensation for them.

Navigating the legal system on your own can be stressful and overwhelming. A head injury lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you with this difficult process. We can take full responsibility for your Kenner case, allowing you to focus on recuperating and spending time with family.

Getting Damages for a Head Injury

Head injuries can have a huge impact on your physical and psychological well-being. These injuries, called “non-economic damages,” may include but are not limited to:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional anguish
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Loss of consortium
  • Physical disability
  • Intellectual disability

In addition, a head injury can cost you and your family a lot of money. These financial losses, called “economic damages,” may include:

  • Loss of wages or benefits
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Loss of employment
  • Medical bills
  • Travel expenses related to medical treatment
  • Attorney’s fees

All of the above damages could apply in both personal injury and wrongful death cases. When your loved one did not survive their accident injuries and you are pursuing compensation from the responsible party, you could recover:

  • Loss of financial support
  • Loss of companionship
  • Funeral and burial expenses

Our team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can review your case and help you create a thorough list of the damages you qualify to seek. This way, you do not inadvertently leave money on the table during negotiations.

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

Statute of Limitations for Head Injury Cases

CC Art. 3492 limits the amount of time you have to seek compensation for accident injuries via a lawsuit. In general, this statute gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Similarly, CC Art. 2315.1 limits the amount of time you have to seek compensation for wrongful death damages after a fatal accident. If you lost a loved one in an accident, you have two years from the date of the death, not the date of the accident, to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

CTA CTA

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Establishing Liability After an Accident

Many types of accidents can cause a head injury, including but not limited to:

  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Boating accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents

Determining who is liable for an accident is a critical step. If an investigation finds that another person’s negligence caused it, the victim may be able to seek damages from the negligent party or their insurance company.

Comparative Fault

Louisiana law considers comparative fault, as established by CC Art. 2323, when awarding damages from an accident. In brief, if the accident victim contributed to the cause of the accident, then their claim is reduced in proportion to that contribution.

Do not worry about comparative fault just yet. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can look for evidence to show that you are not responsible for your injuries (or, in a wrongful death case, that the deceased was not responsible).

Evidence

The police and insurance companies will investigate the accident. If you disagree with the findings, our team can independently investigate and help you dispute the results of the police or insurance company investigation. We can do this by seeking and introducing evidence such as:

  • Security camera footage
  • Your (or your loved one’s) medical records
  • Eyewitness testimony, photos, or video
  • Expert testimony

Many types of evidence may disappear or degrade in value over time. For example, security camera footage may be wiped, and eyewitnesses could forget critical details. The sooner you start your case, the more evidence might be available to support your claim or lawsuit.

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.

Common Types of Head Injuries

Head injuries may range from minor cuts and bruises to more serious injuries, such as skull fractures, concussions, and traumatic brain injuries. The following are details regarding some of the more serious head injuries:

  • Intracranial hematoma: This is a potentially life-threatening injury in which a blood vessel ruptures, causing blood to pool and place pressure on the brain. The blood may need to be surgically removed to release the pressure, according to the Mayo Clinic.
  • Concussion: This is a brain injury caused by a strong blow to the head or upper body. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that even a relatively “mild” concussion can have serious consequences.
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): According to Mayo Clinic, mild TBIs may cause a brief loss of consciousness, headache, and fatigue, among other symptoms. People suffering from a moderate-to-severe TBI may experience serious, long-term effects, such as cognitive problems, sensory problems, emotional changes, behavioral changes, and seizures.

If you received a blow to the head in any kind of accident, it is best to seek medical help as soon as possible. Not only can this save your life or prevent a minor injury from becoming serious, it can also help prove causation between the accident and the injury. This, in turn, can make it easier to receive compensation from the liable party.
