ClientWho Compensates the Victim After a Car Accident in Lake Charles, LA?
In Louisiana, the at-fault party’s insurance company compensates car accident victims. So, as the victim in your case, you can file a personal injury claim against the other party’s insurance, and it should compensate you. Alternatively, you could file a lawsuit directly against the other party.
However, it could be challenging to identify the at-fault party in your case. For instance, if the other driver is an employee, the at-fault party may be the driver or the employer. Both parties could share fault. You might also have trouble holding an insurance company to account or persuading a judge to make a fair verdict.
For instance, an insurer may ignore some of your damages. We understand that liability may prove especially complicated in accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers. A Lake Charles rideshare accident lawyer can help you review your legal options in this situation.
