File Your Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit in Time

The Louisiana statute of limitations allows the plaintiff a particular time to file a lawsuit. The code for statute of limitations is found in CC Art. 3492, which generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file.

If you don’t let your lawyer know about your case soon, you may run the risk of missing the deadline, which would jeopardize your right to damages.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

How to Prove Negligence in a Pedestrian Accident

When you have our Maxie pedestrian accident lawyer by your side, you are assured of having an advocate help establish the other party was negligent. In doing so, they will:

Prove the Driver Had a Duty of Care

The attorney will show that the driver owed you a duty of care to not cause you harm. All drivers, for example, are bound by this duty.

Show Breach of Duty

Breaching the duty of care involves being negligent in some way. The Maxie pedestrian accident lawyer will look at the evidence to see where negligence comes into play. This helps prove the driver breached the duty of care.

Show Causation

It’s vital to link the accident with the injuries. Your lawyer will establish a direct cause and effect between the accident and the injuries.

Prove Your Damages

You have sustained non-financial and financial damages following the pedestrian accident.
