I NEED HELP NOW

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 Faulty or Neglected Vehicle Maintenance Accident Lawyer

If you are injured in an accident that was caused by faulty or neglected vehicle maintenance, you might not know who to sue for financial compensation. When you are ready to get the compensation you are entitled to collect, our team might be able to help you identify which at-fault party to pursue.

You might be able to pursue financial compensation from the mechanic who did not perform adequate repairs, the vehicle’s manufacturer, or the vehicle’s owner who failed to properly maintain his vehicle. A Metairie faulty or neglected vehicle maintenance accident lawyer might be able to prove the fault of the accident, identify the right place to assign liability, and negotiate a financial settlement.

Contact a Metairie car accident lawyer at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers for professional help with these claims.

Calculate Your Potential Monetary Recovery

If the driver who caused your accident was driving a vehicle that had not been properly maintained, you might have the basis of a personal injury lawsuit. If someone you love was fatally injured in the accident, you might have the basis of a wrongful death lawsuit. Either lawsuit might help you recover from the financial impact of the accident.

A Metairie faulty or neglected vehicle maintenance accident lawyer might be able to help you recover these financial expenses and losses:

  • Past and anticipated medical expenses
  • Past and anticipated loss of wages
  • Physical and emotional pain and suffering
  • Physical disfigurement and disability
  • Property repair or replacement costs

You do not have to prove the cost of the accident on your own. A Metairie personal injury lawyer may help you create an evidence file that proves the financial impact of your injuries and their related expenses.

Obtain a Copy of Your Crash Report Right Away

According to the Louisiana Revised Statutes (RS) §32:398, you are required to submit a crash report if:

  • Anyone involved in the accident is injured
  • Anyone involved in the accident is fatally injured
  • Property damage exceeds $500

Your crash report is valuable to our team because it will tell us how to contact the at-fault driver, his insurance company, the investigating officer, and anyone who witnessed the accident. It will also tell us:

  • The primary and secondary cause of the accident
  • The size and type of each involved vehicle
  • The investigating officer’s notes and diagrams
  • The condition and appearance of each vehicle
  • Each vehicle’s traffic control condition

The crash report might also provide us with the road, weather, and lighting conditions and the date that helps us establish compliance with the statute of limitations. Provide our legal team with a copy of your crash report immediately.

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

Resolve Your Lawsuit without a Trial

Once your evidence file is completed and shared with the at-fault party’s representative, your potential personal injury lawsuit, like many, might be resolved outside of court. When our team is on your side, we fight hard for a favorable financial settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance company. We also make sure you are aware of these important settlement factors:

  • You always make the final decision.
  • An accepted settlement is final and binding.
  • It may not be too late to negotiate a settlement.

We might also be able to help you avoid making a speedy settlement that does not fully reimburse you for all the expenses and losses related to the accident. When you are ready to resolve your compensation lawsuit without going to court, our Metairie car accident lawyers will negotiate a fair financial settlement on your behalf.

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.

Do Not Overlook Louisiana’s Filing Deadline

The statute of limitations in Louisiana determines the amount of time you have to file your personal injury lawsuit. According to Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492, you have only a single year to file your lawsuit. In addition, if a member of your family was fatally injured in the accident, you have the same time limit for filing a wrongful death lawsuit.

Failing to meet the statute of limitations in your lawsuit might mean you are unable to legally compel compensation from the at-fault party in your lawsuit. You do not have to understand or comply with the filing deadline on your own. The sooner you put our team to work on your compensation claim, the more time we have to comply with the two-year statute of limitations.

Get Financial Compensation for Your Injuries

Building a successful car accident lawsuit can be time-consuming and stressful. When you are ready to pursue the at-fault driver, you might be able to leave the legal legwork to a Metairie faulty or neglected vehicle maintenance accident lawyer on our team.

While we focus on building, filing, and resolving your lawsuit, you can focus on restoring your physical health. Contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers by calling (337) 777-7777 today to find out how hard our team works to help you navigate the legal process.
