Avoid the Temptation of a Speedy Settlement After a Car Accident
Recovering appropriate compensation after an accident depends on understanding the actual monetary value of your case. We know a car accident can leave you in sudden financial distress, which can make a speedy settlement offer tempting. However, an offer that comes too quickly on the heels of an accident could mean many recoverable damages are not yet known.
When our car accident lawyer assesses your damages, we take time to wait for supporting documentation that proves the value of the following:
- Disfiguring injuries
- Emotional distress
- Lost income
- Reduced earning capacity
- Medical care bills
- Mental anguish
- Pain and suffering
- Physical disability
- Property damage or loss
We can demand a range of wrongful death damages if your family lost a loved one in a fatal car accident. Our investigation into the monetary value of your case is comprehensive and will help prevent your case from being undervalued or underpaid.
You Could Only Have One Year to File a Lawsuit After a Louisiana Car Accident
Like all states, Louisiana limits the time you have to file a civil lawsuit. In general, you have one year to file your personal injury lawsuit, per CC Art. 3492. There is also a one-year deadline to file a wrongful death lawsuit, per CC Art. 2315.2.
While you must meet the applicable time frame, they can be complicated and difficult to interpret on your own. The statute of limitations could be tolled, or paused, depending on the age of the injured party and various other factors. The best way to understand the filing deadline in your case is to let a member of our team clarify it for you. From there, we can outline a strategy for the timely filing of your case.
