Your personal injury lawyer can help you calculate your recoverable damages, which may include:

  • Medical Bills
  • Income Loss
  • Property Damage
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Lasting Disfigurement
Meaux Rear-End Collisions Lawyer

A rear-end collision can leave you or someone you love with injuries like whiplash or can result in other head and back injuries that impair your mobility. Accidents like these can create ongoing medical bills, damage or destroy your vehicle, and negatively impact your income-earning ability.

Fortunately, if another party’s negligence caused your accident, they may be liable for your damages. If you qualify, a Meaux rear-end collisions lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to help you pursue compensation in a personal injury insurance claim. If your claim cannot be resolved with an insurance settlement, we can file a personal injury lawsuit and take your case to trial.

For a free consultation on your case with a member of our team, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today at (318) 777-7777. We may be able to take your case on a contingency-fee-basis with no up-front payments required.

The High Cost of Car Accidents in Louisiana

The Center for Analytics & Research in Transportation (CARTS) at Louisiana State University reported 15,304 rear-end collisions that resulted in injuries in 2019. There were an additional 80 rear-end accidents that resulted in fatalities.

A rear-end collision can be costly for accident victims and their families. They can lead to loss of earnings, costly medical care, and extensive vehicle damage. These are all damages that the at-fault driver may be responsible for paying in a personal injury lawsuit.

Potential Damages in a Rear-End Accident Case

If you can prove that another driver’s negligence caused the rear-end collision, you may be able to recover damages such as:

  • All accident-related medical bills
  • All accident-related lost wages
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental and emotional agony
  • Property repair or replacement
  • And more

Understanding the value of your damages is an important part of a car accident case. If your claim is miscalculated or undervalued, it could mean you inadvertently agree to accept a settlement offer that is too small to cover your accident-related expenses.

A Meaux rear-end collisions lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to produce evidence of your accident-related damages when we represent you. If your loved one lost their life in a rear-end accident, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to help you pursue an alternate set of damages in a wrongful death lawsuit.

To learn more about your legal options, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today at (318) 777-7777 A member of our team is standing by to provide you with a free, no-obligation consultation on your case.

Injuries in a Rear-End Accident

As soon as possible after a car accident, seek medical evaluation and care. Even if you do not feel injured immediately after the accident, you could have soft tissue, internal, or other hidden injuries that require prompt medical care. Some injuries you endure in a car accident that might be more readily apparent include:

  • Broken nose and other facial injuries
  • Head injuries like whiplash or concussion
  • Broken limbs and extremities
  • Back pain and spinal cord injuries

These injuries may require expensive treatment. Receiving a medical evaluation soon after your accident can also create a link in your medical record between your accident and your injuries that may be used as evidence in your case.

CTA CTA

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.

Per the Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492, there is a general two-year statute of limitations, or legal time limit, on filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit in Louisiana.
