What Damages Can I Recover for My Family in a Lafayette Comatose Patient Case?
If your family member’s situation is unclear right now, your family’s damages may seem unclear, too. Factors like a coma’s duration and the extent of the injuries could affect your future damages.
However, you and your family can start recovering many of your losses, including many financial, emotional, and other intangible ones. This may help you afford the intensive or extended care your family member may need in the future.
Also, a Lafayette catastrophic injury lawyer from our firm can identify your recoverable damages, including any anticipated damages. We can seek to recover:
- The cost of intensive care, including future care
- The costs of any other care your family member may need, such as the cost of therapy
- The income your family cannot bring in now and into the future
- The property-related costs you incur, such as your vehicle repair costs
- Your family’s emotional anguish
- Your family member’s mental health damages
- Physical damages your family member experiences, such as a disability
- Additional damages, such as loss of consortium and/or lost enjoyment of life
Damages in a Case Involving Extreme Negligence
If a judge determines that an at-fault party was extremely negligent, they can award punitive damages. In your coma case, these damages may apply. One of our lawyers can tell you more about punitive damages.
Other Damages
If your family member’s situation is uncertain, other damages may apply. Our Lafayette comatose patient lawyer can discuss these damages with you.

ClientHow Do I Hold the Liable Party Accountable for My Loved One’s Coma?
Through a personal injury claim or lawsuit, you can recover your damages and hold the at-fault party to account. However, an insurance claim may not be appropriate, considering how serious the situation is. A lawsuit may be more appropriate and help you find justice. An injury lawyer from our firm can discuss both options with you.
Something else our Lafayette, LA, attorneys will do is identify all liable parties in your case. We can also establish their liability for the initial incident and your damages. These are complex tasks, so you may want a lawyer from our firm to handle them for you.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientHow Do I Build My Lafayette Comatose Patient Case?
Once we have identified your damages and who’s likely responsible for them, we can build your case against the party. To build and bolster your case, our lawyer will:
- Give fair financial value to your intangible damages, such as your emotional losses so that our lawyer can establish your case’s monetary value.
- Collect evidence of your family’s damages, such as medical bills.
- Collect corroborating evidence for your case, such as a written statement from a medical professional so that we can establish the at-fault party’s responsibility for the incident and your damages.
- Prepare arguments against the other party’s defense.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
ClientHow Can a Lafayette Comatose Patient Lawyer Resolve My Case?
Once we prepare your case, we will present it to the other party’s insurance company (or, if you and your lawyer are suing the party, the judge). Then, your lawyer will:
- Show how each of the elements of negligence applies in your case, including duty of care and breach of duty to fully prove the other party’s responsibility
- Argue against the other party’s defense and for a fair resolution
- Negotiate with the insurer (or judge) for a fair settlement (or verdict) that includes your many damages
- Threaten to sue the other party or actually litigate your case if negotiations with the insurer don’t work out
Your lawyer can even hire experts, like an accident reconstructionist, to provide court testimonies regarding your case.
