If you or a family member suffered a neck injury in a car accident, you might be able to collect several damages from the party responsible for your injuries. Our Louisiana personal injury law firm can help you collect these damages and fair amounts for them even if the other party’s insurance isn’t willing to compensate you fairly. You deserve compensation for your injuries, and Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will fight for it, even if we must sue.
During a free consultation, we’ll tell you all about what our Lafayette neck injury lawyer will do for you if we take your case. We’ll also explain how your lawyer will work for you in an affordable contingency fee arrangement.
What Kind of Compensation Can I Get for a Neck Injury in Lafayette, LA?
A neck or back injury can be devastating, causing paralysis or even death. A victim or the deceased victim’s family may have many compensable damages, including physical and financial damages.
You could receive financial recovery for all your physical, financial, and other damages through a personal injury claim or lawsuit (or a wrongful death claim or suit). One of our firm’s car accident lawyers will fight for each of those damages on your behalf. Your damages could include:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Any disability you have
- Your medical bills
- Any bills you have for physical therapy, occupational therapy, or other therapy
- Any lost income from being out of work
- Any loss in your ability to earn income
- Vehicle repair or replacement expenses
- Any mental anguish or emotional trauma you experience
- Wrongful death damages if a family member suffered fatal injuries
The Amount of Your Compensation
How much you could recover depends on the assessment of your non-financial damages. Our Lafayette neck injury lawyer can professionally determine the monetary value of these damages to ensure we cover each loss you have.
Your settlement also depends on how negotiations with an insurer go or what a judge determines if your case goes to trial. Our lawyers have a great deal of experience with proceedings inside and outside of court.

ClientHow Will My Lafayette Neck Injury Lawyer Build My Case?
An injury lawyer must present evidence and show how each of the elements of negligence applies to your case. All this can be especially challenging for a claimant to do on their own, but a lawyer from our firm can take care of this task for you.
Evidence for Your Case
You might already have some evidence for your case, such as your medical bills and cell phone photos of the accident scene. However, this may not be enough to convince the insurer or judge about your case. You might also need evidence a lawyer from our firm can collect for you, such as:
- The police report
- The data event recorder in the other party’s vehicle
- Traffic camera footage of the accident
- Witness accounts of the incident
- Corroborating testimony from a car accident reconstructionist
The Elements of Negligence for Your Lafayette Neck Injury Case
Evidence isn’t enough to prove a case. Your lawyer will also need to show how negligence was a factor in the incident. To do this, your lawyer will show how:
- The liable party was responsible for keeping you from harm.
- The liable party breached this duty by acting irresponsibly, such as by running a red light.
- The irresponsible action caused the accident.
- The accident resulted in damages you suffered/incurred.
