How Our Wrong Way Accident Attorney in Marksville, LA Can Help You
Even though it might be clear who is at fault in a wrong-way accident case, many accident victims find out it’s not so easy getting the compensation they deserve. This is largely because insurance companies are for-profit businesses. No matter how significant the damage is in your case, the negligent driver’s insurance company will work hard to limit your compensation to the greatest extent possible.
Our car accident lawyer can handle all communications with the insurance company. We will also handle tasks in your case that include:
- Collecting evidence that proves liability
- Determining which damages you can recover
- Representing you in court, if necessary
- Filling out all the paperwork necessary for your claim or lawsuit
Our team has collected over $200,000,000 in settlements for our clients. We are ready to help you fight for the compensation you need, too.
We Can Help if the At-Fault Driver Contests Liability in Your Wrong Way Accident Case
Insurance companies have a lot of tactics they employ to try and minimize the payouts they make when their clients cause accidents. One of those tactics is to deny liability. This is another area where a wrong-way accident lawyer can help your case. We have extensive experience in evidence collection and case building. Some of the methods we use to collect evidence include:
- Conducting interviews with you, other passengers in your car, and witnesses to the accident.
- Requesting a copy of the official police report and if necessary, conducting interviews with the responding officer.
- Visiting the scene of the accident to search for physical evidence (e.g., skid marks, broken barriers)
- Requesting video footage of the accident or its aftermath from both public and private sources (e.g., cellphones, highway or road-mounted traffic cameras, private dash-mounted cameras in cars)
This evidence can also become a critical part of the case we build for you at trial if we are unable to negotiate a settlement. Our team is not just experienced in settlement negotiations, we know how to plan winning trial strategies. So, if the at-fault driver or their insurer denies liability, our team can and will go to trial if necessary.

ClientWhat Are the Damages You Can Recover in Your Marksville Wrong Way Accident Case?
Wrong way accidents at any speed can cause severe damage to life and property. It is not uncommon for them to leave accident victims with broken bones, head trauma, and spinal cord injuries. The medical expenses associated with treating your accident-related injuries will be classified as economic damages in your case. Other examples of economic damages include, but may not be limited to the following:
- Lost revenue and income
- Repair costs for your vehicle
- Ambulance or transportation from the accident scene to the hospital
- Towing or vehicle removal fees
- Replacement value of any personal property damaged in the accident
Although these economic damages can be significant, they do not represent the only losses that accident victims suffer. Any injury involves a level of pain and suffering throughout the recovery process, and some injuries are so severe that they will never fully heal. That’s why Louisiana allows accident victims to demand compensation for that pain and suffering in the form of non-economic damages. Other non-economic damages include:
- Mental anguish
- Reduced or lost quality of life
We consult closely with you as a client to get a complete understanding of how the accident has negatively impacted all aspects of your life. We’ll fight for compensation that reflects the full extent of your damages.
How Much Is Your Wrong-Way Accident Case Worth?
The amount of compensation you will be able to recover depends on the details of your case. We will take your medical expenses and physical pain into consideration as we build your case. Our goal is to help you recover a settlement that repays you for all the ways the accident impacted your life.
We can go over all the losses you suffered during a free consultation. At this meeting, we can get a better understanding of your damages and give you some idea of the damages we would demand. If you have any medical bills or other invoices, you can feel free to bring them to our meeting. This meeting doesn’t come with any further obligation.. However, we certainly hope you will trust us with your case.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
