Personal injury cases can be surprisingly complex in Louisiana. For one thing, insurance agents are not always on your side. They may initially appear to be helpful, but if you are not careful, you could end up accepting a low settlement or implicate yourself as being at fault. In other cases, you might be up against teams of defense lawyers who may try to downplay your injuries and related expenses.
Liability for Your Morse Personal Injury Case
Louisiana operates on a comparative fault system, per Louisiana Civil Code 2323. Anyone who is at fault for damages has to pay proportionately to their percentage of responsibility. For example, let’s say that a speeding driver hits the broad side of a car that is making a left turn. Although there are extensive damages on both sides, the speeding driver is assigned 90% fault and the other driver 10% fault. Even though the speeding driver is 90% at fault, they would still be able to collect actual cash damages for the percentage that they were not responsible for.
