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
Metairie Defective Design or Manufacture of Vehicles or Vehicle Components Accident Lawyer

If you or someone you love was injured in a car accident caused by a faulty vehicle or by a vehicle with faulty parts or components, you might have the basis of a personal injury lawsuit. It can be difficult to know who to pursue on your own.

Our team of car accident lawyers in Metairie, LA, might be able to help you determine whether fault should be assigned to the at-fault vehicle’s manufacturer or designer. We might also be able to help you determine the appropriate next steps to ensure your Metairie lawsuit is prepared and filed on time.

When you are ready to put a Metairie defective design or manufacture of vehicles or vehicle components accident lawyer to work on helping you obtain financial compensation from the at-fault party, contact the personal injury team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers by calling (504) 777-7777 today.

Let Us Start Preparing Your Lawsuit Right Away

When you are involved in a car accident, you may be able to prove liability and seek compensation for your damages with help from a Metairie personal injury lawyer. When the accident was caused by the defective design or manufacture of the other involved vehicles or its components, proving negligence and assigning fault might be a much more difficult and involved process.

While that might be the case, the cause of your accident may not alter the time you have to file your personal injury lawsuit. According to Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492, you generally have two years to file your lawsuit. Failure to comply with the statute of limitations could result in an inability to seek the compensation you are entitled to due to neglect.

You can avoid this negative and costly consequence of filing your lawsuit later than the law allows. With early involvement, our team might be able to ensure your lawsuit is filed on time and your right to compensation from the at-fault driver is not put at risk.

Define the Value of Your Personal Injury Lawsuit

Defining the actual value of your personal injury lawsuit is a complex and complicated process. It can also be time-consuming because the expenses related to your injuries might come from a lot of different directions. This might require you to collect bills, receipts, documents, and other evidence of the cost of your injuries from a variety of outlets.

You might be entitled to recover economic damages, which might mean collecting and calculating bills from a number of healthcare facilities, physicians, multiple employers, and mechanics.

Your economic damages might include:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Past and future loss of income
  • Property damage or destruction

You might also be entitled to recover non-economic damages. On your own, these might be difficult to calculate. Our team might help you assign a financial value to these intangible, non-economic damages:

  • Mental and emotional distress
  • Pain and suffering
  • Physical impairment or disfigurement

When you are ready to compile the required documents to prove the cost of the accident, calculate your expenses, and assign an accurate value to your lawsuit, our team is here to help. We might also use the assigned value of your lawsuit to drive successful settlement negotiations.

Our Team May Help You Investigate the At-Fault Vehicle

Our team does not shy away from difficult cases, and we leave no stone unturned in the fight for financial recovery for our clients. Knowing your accident was caused by a vehicle defect or flaw is one thing—proving it is another. When our team goes to work on your lawsuit, we might hire independent investigators or automotive industry experts to help prove the vehicle defect that led to the accident.

We might also use additional tools, including National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall data and your mandatory crash report with car, driver, and accident details. A crash report is mandatory according to Louisiana Revised Statutes (RS) §32-398, if anyone was injured, fatally injured, or sustained significant property damage as a result of the collision.
