ClientDamages Recoverable Based on Your Lafayette Herniated Disc Injuries
Getting relief from a herniated and bulging disc is rarely quick. Many victims suffer for weeks or months, with limited abilities and significant pain. Treatment depends greatly on the injuries and the patient’s improvement. You may need medication, physical therapy, rest, surgery, and ongoing medical support.
Many accident victims who suffer these injuries miss time at work and cannot handle household chores on their own. Some have lasting pain that prevents them from working or enjoying their favorite activities. Many make a full recovery, but many others live with chronic pain. You can speak with a Lafayette personal injury lawyer to help you pursue compensation.
Our attorneys identify and document each client’s unique injuries, expenses, and losses before seeking compensation for them. Examples of recoverable damages in these cases include:
- Medical care costs, current and future
- Ongoing support, treatment, and management
- Income losses
- Diminished ability to work and earn money
- Property damages
- Related expenses and losses, with documentation
- Pain and suffering
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 Our Lawyers Approach a Herniated and Bulging Disc Injury Case in Lafayette
Laborde Earles’ team represents clients with herniated discs regularly. We know how to document their injury and damages, pursue compensation, and secure the money they need to cover their current and future losses. After a careful investigation, we use the evidence we gather to document a compelling case for a fair payout.
We typically have two ways to recover compensation for our clients in these cases:
An Insurance Claim
Demanding fair compensation from the at-fault party’s liability insurance carrier is often the most direct, inexpensive, and quick route to recovering compensation in these cases. However, this does not mean getting a fair payout is easy. Our attorneys must present strong evidence and use proven negotiation techniques to reach a fair settlement agreement if possible.
A Personal Injury Lawsuit
We sue the at-fault party in a Lafayette Parish civil court when necessary. This process generally takes longer and is more expensive than an insurance settlement. However, it might be the only effective option for some injured parties.
While insurance claims are generally more common and often successful in recovering the compensation our client deserves based on the case facts, we sometimes need to sue and prepare the case for a trial. This could occur concurrently with the insurance claim, meaning we continue to negotiate with the carrier while we navigate the stages of the lawsuit process.
Louisiana law generally only gives our team two years from the date the injuries occurred to begin a lawsuit on our client’s behalf. Per CC 3493.1, if we do not file the paperwork to begin a Lafayette civil suit before the first anniversary of our client’s injuries, they could lose the right to do so in the future. Some exceptions exist, but these could reduce how long you can wait to sue.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
