ClientWe Gather Documents That Support Your Compensation Request
The representatives of the at-fault party will want proof of the value we ascribe to your recoverable damages. We work hard to gather the following on your behalf:
- Medical records and bills
- Medication and pharmacy receipts
- Proof of income from all sources
- Property repair and replacement values
In addition to these documents, we present evidence of the cause of your accident and proof of the legal elements of negligence—duty, breach, causation, and damages. This portion of your case file will include:
- Witness statements
- Expert testimonials
- Written prognosis
- Motorcycle accident report
- Photos of your injuries
- Accident scene photos
Our evidence collection will include an accident reconstruction report that will tell the story of the collision. We also collect the information you might have difficulty obtaining on your own. That can include your loved one’s medical records and death certificate and the at-fault driver’s driving record and license status.
We Work Hard to File Your Louisiana Lawsuit on Time
Filing your lawsuit on time is as important as proving your right to recover damages. If your lawsuit is not filed on time, you could be barred from filing it at all, or it will be dismissed without being heard. In general, filing your lawsuit on time means:
- One year to meet the personal injury statute of limitations, according to CC Art. 3492
- One year to meet the wrongful death statute of limitations, according to CC Art. 2315.2
The sooner you contact our law firm about your case, the better. Our law firm will investigate the filing deadline that applies to your case and any factors of your accident that might cause it to fluctuate.
