  • Medical Bills
  • Income Loss
  • Property Damage
  • Pain & Suffering

  • Lasting Disfigurement
Meaux Car Accident Lawyer

If you suffered serious injuries in a car accident caused by the reckless actions of another driver, you may be entitled to compensation. A Meaux car accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you through this difficult time.

The damages you are seeking to recover through a civil action could vary based on the details of your case. You may be seeking very different financial losses than another passenger who was in the car with you during the crash.

Some compensable damages you may be seeking to recover include:

  • Present and anticipated medical bills
  • The cost of physical therapy and follow-up care
  • Lost wages, tips, bonuses, and benefits
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering and inconvenience
  • Emotional trauma
  • Dismemberment
  • Disfigurement

Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may never return to your career or activities you once enjoyed. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we can investigate your case and pursue compensation from the negligent party. To get started with a free case review, call us today at (337) 777-7777.

Determining Liability in a Car Accident

You can drive defensively and still encounter a dangerous driver. When a driver fails to uphold their duty of care when getting behind the wheel of any vehicle, they could be held responsible for any collisions they cause. All motorists are required to take actions reasonably expected of another driver in the same situation.

For example, if heavy rain posed a threat to a driver’s ability to drive safely, they would be expected to turn on their headlights and maintain the expected speed limit. By failing to do so, they may have breached their duty of care and put others at an increased risk of harm.

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we can provide legal representation regardless of how your accident occurred.

We advocate on behalf of claimants who have been injured by the following unsafe driving practices:

Distracted Driving

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that distracted driving is any action or behavior that takes a motorist’s mind off the wheel. This could include texting, grooming, adjusting the radio, or reaching for an item. If distracted driving played a role in causing the collision, your Meaux car accident lawyer can collect evidence in your case to assign liability.

Drunk Driving

According to Louisiana State University, about 40% of all fatal collisions involve alcohol. Even if the motorist responsible for the collision was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, you are not barred from filing a personal injury claim.

Aggressive Driving

According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, more than 80% of survey participants admitted to engaging in aggressive driving within the past month. Aggressive driving includes speeding, purposefully tailgating, and road rage.

Speeding

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that speeding claimed the lives of over 9,300 people in 2018. If a driver failed to uphold the speed limit on a designed road or highway, they could be held responsible for the cost of your economic and noneconomic damages.

These are just a few examples of dangerous behaviors that can place you at risk during your commute or trip to the store. If you experienced serious injuries due to a distracted, drunk, aggressive, or otherwise negligent driver, we can help you.

When a Car Accident is Fatal

Sadly, some car accident victims do not survive their injuries. Depending upon your relationship with the decedent, under Louisiana Civil Code 2315.2, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim.

The sudden loss of a loved one is devastating. While no amount of money can replace them, it can possibly ease your financial stress. As we mentioned earlier, if the responsible party faces criminal charges for the accident, their charges have no bearing on your civil action.

In a successful case, you may be able to recover the cost of the following:

  • Final medical bills for your loved one
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of income
  • Loss of potential future earnings
  • Loss of inheritance
  • Loss of companionship

Let us help ease your burden by handling the details of your wrongful death case. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today.

Insurance Companies and Initial Settlement Offers

The stress of your accident injuries, mounting medical bills, and inability to work (either temporarily or permanently) can leave you feeling tempted to accept an initial settlement offer from an insurer. Accepting a settlement offer from an insurance company without legal representation could potentially harm your future.

By doing so, you may forfeit your right to pursue litigation later, even if additional costs arise. A Meaux car accident lawyer can take the time to estimate the cost of your collision-related expenses and help you negotiate for a settlement offer that accurately reflects your losses. If we cannot come to an agreement with the insurance company, we have the option of taking your case to court.

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

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Can Help With Your Car Accident Claim

Everyone has the right to travel Louisiana streets and highways without the risk of harm. When another driver violates the rules of the road and ignores traffic laws, they place others at risk for serious injuries.

The statute of limitations is a deadline governed by state law. Under Louisiana Civil Code 3492, you have a two-year period starting from the date of your accident to take your case to court. This is a strict deadline for filing your case; missing the deadline may bar you from pursuing compensation altogether.

If you suffered serious injuries due to a car accident that was no fault of your own, take action. Contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers now to learn more about your legal options. Call us for your free case evaluation now at (337) 777-7777.
