Teen driving accidents can be agonizing, and they may cause injuries to any of the parties involved.

A Lafayette teen driving accident lawyer from the team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to help you pursue compensation for your or your teen’s injuries after a vehicle accident. Reach out to a Lafayette car accident attorney to discuss your situation.

Teen Car Accidents and Injuries

Driving is an immense responsibility for teenagers to assume and it is never to be taken lightly. As a parent, you are surely concerned about their safety, their attentiveness, their demonstration of responsibility, and their ability to make sound decisions when on the road. Teenage drivers present a great many risks and this age group has the highest possibility of car accidents—more so than any other age sector. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that 2,364 teens between the ages of 16-19 lost their lives in vehicle crashes in 2017 in the United States. Additionally, approximately 300,000 teens in the same age range received emergency treatment for injuries from car accidents in 2017 as well.

So, if your teen was in an accident, it is likely you are doing everything in your power to ensure their recovery goes smoothly and all of their medical needs are met. However, it is imperative to consider that if the accident was not at the fault of your teen, they may be entitled to compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance company. Car accident injuries are often extremely costly and it is important to hold the liable party responsible.

Likewise, if you suffered injuries from an accident that was the fault of a teen driver, you may also be able to receive economic damages to cover the costs of your injuries, lost wages due to missed time at work, and noneconomic losses such as pain and suffering. To discuss the possibilities of your case and what you may expect from pursuing a lawsuit, the team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers offers a free consultation.

How Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers May Help After an Accident

Be Aware of Louisiana’s Statute of Limitations

If you wish to pursue legal action against the responsible party, there is a statute of limitations or time period you must act within. For a personal injury lawsuit, the time period for filing is two years, per CC 3493.1, unless the injured party is a minor or in the event the injuries suffered have caused permanent disability.

After an accident, the stress and trauma of recovery are typically at the forefront. It is very easy to lose track of time, getting caught up in the motions of handling your injuries, and maintaining your day-to-day existence. However, it is important to understand your options after a car accident if you intend on filing a lawsuit against another driver.
