How Our Morse Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Can Help You
An important step in seeking compensation is proving who is at fault. This is because the party that caused the accident must compensate the victim. Our lawyer handling injury cases in Morse will investigate the accident to establish how it happened and identify the liable parties. We can visit the accident scene to gather evidence, which could include surveillance video from a nearby traffic camera, house, or business that shows how the crash happened.
We can review medical and police reports and examine witnesses for their accounts. We could consult with an accident reconstructionist about the accident. Their expert opinion can give more insight into the accident.
We Talk to the Insurance Company for You
We can communicate with the insurance company so that you don’t have to. Handling negotiations alone against experienced insurance adjusters can be tough, but we can handle these talks. We can negotiate a settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance company on your behalf. We offer our services for no legal fees until we win or settle it. If you have queries about this fee arrangement, you can ask us during a free consultation.

ClientWhat Your Morse Pedestrian Accident Case Is Worth
The seriousness of your injuries and your recovery time affect the value of your pedestrian injury case. The more severe your injuries, the more compensation you may get. Our attorney can consult with professionals to determine the extent of your injuries as we pursue your compensation.
The damages you can recover after your accident also impact your case’s worth. Economic damages in a pedestrian accident case include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost future earning capacity
- Property damage
Non-economic damages include losses that are hard to quantify with a dollar amount. They include loss of enjoyment of life, mental and emotional distress, disability, and more.
If you qualify for filing a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of a loved one who died in a Morse pedestrian accident, you could recover money to help pay their medical bills and funeral and burial costs. We will review and include all the damages you can recover and determine how much money you can request from the liable party.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientStart the Legal Process as Soon as Possible
In Louisiana, you have a year from the pedestrian accident date to sue the defendant, per CC Art. 3492. You also get a year to file a wrongful death lawsuit, per CC Art. 2315.2.
If you do not meet the one-year timeline, the court may throw out your case. If that happens, you likely will be barred from holding the defendant responsible for their actions.
Thus, it is a good idea to start the financial recovery process as soon as you can. This way, if you must sue, you will have enough time to do so. Our lawyer can file your civil suit for a pedestrian accident in Morse. We can also represent your case at trial if we cannot settle your case out of court.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

ClientYou Can Protect Your Chance to Recover Compensation After a Pedestrian Accident
After your pedestrian accident, the first thing you should do is ensure you are safe. Examine yourself for injuries and move out of harm’s way. If you can do it, take photos and/or videos of the injuries and crash site. They will serve as evidence to help you recover compensation.
Ask for the other party’s contact information. Also, obtain their insurance information. This will help you with the claims process. As you talk to the other party, avoid making statements that show you were at fault. For example, do not say you’re sorry. It could indicate responsibility.
Call the police and paramedics to the accident scene. The police will record witness statements and accident details. They will also take information about the involved parties, which will be in a police accident report that can back your claims. Seek prompt medical care for your injuries. You can then reach out to our Morse pedestrian accident lawyer, who can help you navigate the process.
