  • Other property damage: Compensation for damage to personal property, such as items inside the vehicle, damaged equipment, or other valuables
  • Physical Pain and Suffering: Damages for the physical pain and discomfort experienced as a result of injuries sustained in the crash
  • Mental and emotional anguish: Compensation for emotional distress, anxiety, and depression caused by the accident and its aftermath
  • Loss of enjoyment: Damages for the loss of ability to participate in activities and hobbies enjoyed before the accident

Punitive damages may also be available in certain situations. After a police chase accident, pursuing fair compensation for your damages is essential for your recovery and financial stability.

Legal Considerations in Car Accidents Resulting from Police Pursuits

Car accidents stemming from police chases present complex legal challenges. Often, these collisions inflict severe, irreversible harm on bystanders, pedestrians, and people in other vehicles. While police officers involved in pursuit-related incidents are typically shielded from liability, exceptions exist.

In some cases, an officer’s conduct may render them partially or fully accountable for the resulting damages. Instances where officers exhibit reckless or insubordinate behavior can result in liability. For instance, if a police officer continues a pursuit against superior orders, they may bear responsibility for resulting accidents.

Whatever the exact circumstances of your accident, partnering with an experienced attorney ensures your interests are represented and that a compelling case is built on your behalf.

Louisiana’s Time Limit for Personal Injury Claims

Louisiana has a two-year time limit for taking legal action through the court system after sustaining a personal injury in an accident. Certain exceptions may alter this deadline.

Your options for seeking legal recourse may be severely limited if you disregard this statute of limitations as set forth by CC 3493.1.

Also, by consulting with one of our attorneys soon after a collision, you’ll give our team more time to gather evidence and build a strong case for financial compensation. This proactive approach is crucial for safeguarding your ability to pursue what is rightfully yours.
