Metairie Speeding Lawyer

Speeding is a common cause of motor vehicle accidents. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in an accident with a speeding driver, you may have legal options. A Metairie speeding lawyer from the Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers could help you pursue compensation.

You just need to call (337) 777-7777 for a consultation. Calling is free, and there is no obligation. You simply get the chance to learn more about your legal options and how you can pursue damages after suffering injuries in an accident caused by a speeding driver.

Dangers of Speeding

Speeding killed more than 9,000 people in 2018, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It is one of the riskiest and most reckless behaviors one can engage in on the road. It puts the speeding driver and everyone around them in danger.

A car that is traveling at high speed is harder to control. A sudden change in road conditions requires a driver to react in a timely manner, and a driver who is traveling too fast may not be able to adapt in time. Exceeding the speed limit and driving recklessly can easily cause accidents with pedestrians, other motorists, and cyclists.

Potential Injuries from Speeding Accidents

Accidents caused by speeding cars can cause a wide variety of injuries, including some medical problems that can continue to affect an injured party for months or even years to come. In any given year, motor vehicle accidents can lead to long hospital stays and expensive medical bills. Common injuries include:

  • Cuts and abrasions
  • Broken ribs
  • Other broken bones and fractures
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Whiplash
  • Spinal injuries

Some of these injuries can leave lasting effects that make daily life or work more difficult. If this is the case, you should consider talking to a Metairie speeding lawyer about pursuing compensation and making things right. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today at (337) 777-7777 to learn more.

Getting the Compensation You Need

There are multiple types of damages that you can pursue in a speeding accident case. Awards from liable parties could cover:

Medical Costs

Medical bills from an accident can add up quickly, especially if your injuries are serious enough to warrant an extended hospital stay. Damages can cover medical costs stemming from your accident and help relieve some of your family’s financial burden.

Property Damage

If you were riding your bike or driving your car when you were struck by a speeding motorist, you could be stuck with some expensive property damage. If insurance does not adequately cover the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle, you should consider pursuing damages that do.

Lost Wages and Future Earning Potential

Injuries that keep you out of work for an extended period of time could cause you to miss out on paychecks. Injuries from your accident with a speeding driver could even lead to a decline in future earning potential if you are unable to work in the same capacity as before. These losses can cause major financial hardship for any family, especially if the primary breadwinner of the family is the one who is injured.

Loss of Enjoyment

An injury from an accident can prevent you from participating in an activity or sport that you once enjoyed. This loss can adversely affect your quality of life, and it should be considered when your compensation is calculated.

Wrongful Death

If your loved one passed away due to injuries suffered in an accident with a speeding driver, you may be able to pursue wrongful death damages. Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492 gives Louisiana drivers the right to pursue personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits within two years, so it may be wise to hire a lawyer who can begin pursuing the compensation you are entitled to receive.

CTA CTA

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

How Hiring a Lawyer Can Help

An attorney can handle many aspects of your case and potentially make your life easier. They will also act as your advocate at every turn and fight for the best possible outcome for you. Here are a few things with which a lawyer can help you:

Filing your case: a lawyer will quickly file your case so that you do not have to worry about the statute of limitations running out. You just need to relax, recover from your injuries, and do your best to get back into your normal life routine while your lawyer goes through the legal process.

Handling all communications for you: your lawyer will talk to all of the involved parties. You do not have to talk to other motorists, insurance companies, or anyone else who was involved. Your lawyer will relay the latest developments to you and keep you updated on your case.

Identifying who is liable: your lawyer will gather evidence and use that evidence to show that another party was liable in this speeding accident. As a result, they owe you restitution and the damages that you are pursuing.

Determining fair compensation: your lawyer can determine fair compensation and do their best to make sure that you are awarded the damages you deserve.

Fighting for you in court if necessary: if a settlement is not reached, your lawyer will continue to fight for you in civil court proceedings.

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.
