Lake Charles Knee Injury Lawyer

If someone else is responsible for causing a car accident that caused you to suffer critical knee injuries, you may have the right to receive compensation for your physical, emotional, and financial losses. 

However, making the liable party pay will likely be challenging. The good news is you can secure the support of a Lake Charles knee injury lawyer to help bring the liable party to justice.

You can discuss all your legal options, including a personal injury lawsuit, with a Lake Charles car accident lawyer from our team.

What Are Your Car Accident Knee Injury Damages Worth?

If you are lying in your hospital bed wondering how you will cover your medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses after a car accident, you are not alone. Thankfully, if someone else caused the accident that resulted in your knee injuries, you may be eligible to receive compensation for all your losses. 

A Lake Charles personal injury lawyer can help you get the most out of your claim. Your attorney will review your damages at length to ensure they account for every loss. Here are some of the potentially recoverable damages for knee injury victims after a car accident:

Property Damage

Very few cars make it out of a serious accident without significant damage. Your car may be repairable, or it may be totaled, requiring you to buy a new car. 

We may be able to force the liable party to cover the total cost of your vehicle repairs and the diminished value of your vehicle or compensate you for the costs of purchasing a new one.

If additional personal property was damaged or destroyed in the accident, we may be able to compel the defendant to cover these losses as well. This may include damage to your smartphone, laptop computer, or other personal belongings.

Loss of Income and Future Earnings

When you need to take time off work to heal from your injuries, you may have the right to total restitution for this loss of income. The liable party may also cover your loss of 401(k) or retirement savings contributions, potential salary increases, bonuses, paid time off, and other lost future potential earnings. 

This way, you can continue to cover your regular monthly expenses and escape financial instability despite your time off work.

Healthcare Costs

Covering your medical expenses will be a top priority, as healthcare costs are considerable in Louisiana and across the United States. People who suffer knee injuries may require diagnostic testing, prescription medications, surgeries, physical therapy, and other expensive medical treatments. 

You may be dealing with the impact of your knee injuries for years. For instance, you might need to continue participating in occupational therapy for the foreseeable future. 

Down the road, your condition may worsen, requiring additional medical treatment and care. The at-fault party should cover all medical expenses related to your injuries.

Pain and Suffering

Unfortunately, your knee injuries are likely to affect your life substantially, and your quality of life may be diminished as a result. Your knee injury attorney in Lake Charles, LA will consider the impact your knee injuries have had on your ability to:

  • Maintain relationships
  • Complete daily living tasks
  • Provide for your family
  • Participate in activities you previously loved

Although these damages do not have an obvious financial value, that does not mean they are not valuable. Your lawyer will fight for total recovery of your pain and suffering and other non-economic damages, so you have your greatest opportunity to get through these difficult times.

The Knee Injury Lawsuit Statute of Limitations in Lake Charles

The statute of limitations in Louisiana is very short. Per CC 3493.1, you must file your claim within two years if you have been involved in a car accident in Lake Charles. With some rare exceptions, failure to do so means the civil courts will likely bar you from having your case heard at trial.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Proving Liability for Your Knee Injury Damages

Your knee injury claim can only be successful if we show that another party’s negligent actions caused your injuries. First, we must prove the defendant had an obligation to keep you safe from harm. This is known as a duty of care. In a car accident case, this aspect of negligence is typically fairly straightforward, as all drivers have a duty of care to protect other vehicle occupants, pedestrians, and others around them.

Once we establish the defendant’s duty of care, we must show how they breached this duty. For example, if the other driver involved in your crash was driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, this is negligent behavior that would be considered a breach of their duty of care.

After your attorney establishes a breach in the duty of care, we must show that this action or inaction caused your knee injuries. We will work to gather compelling evidence to support your case throughout our investigation.

Finally, we must prove that your knee injuries have significantly affected your life and caused physical, emotional, and/or financial harm.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
