How to Request Damages After a Personal Injury Accident

Personal injury claims allow you to financially recover from losses sustained due to someone else’s negligence. The same evidence you use to prove your right to a claim can establish the value of your case.

You do not have to go to trial to receive compensation for losses sustained in a personal injury accident. Most liable parties prefer to settle out-of-court. Our team knows how to use litigation to your advantage, though, and can take your case to court if the need to do so arises.

Including the Right Damages in Your Request for Support

The damages you can request in a personal injury claim will vary depending on the nature of your losses. Our team has helped survivors recover damages based on losses like the following:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Lost wages
  • Physical injuries and emergency care
  • Pain management and mobility aids
  • Long-term recovery assistance
  • Temporary or permanent disability
  • Lost earning opportunities
  • Property damage and restoration

When to File a Personal Injury Claim

If you want to take civil action against someone after an accident, you can serve them a personal injury claim. Personal injury claims allow you to hold negligent parties accountable for violated duties of care. If a court finds you in proper standing, you can force the liable party to compensate you for losses sustained due to their negligence.

You must bring a personal injury claim before Louisiana’s civil courts before your statute of limitations expires if you want to move your request for support forward.

The statute of limitations in Louisiana gives you only two years to act on your losses. We recommend that you connect with a Natchitoches personal injury attorney as soon as you can to take advantage of the time you have to build your case.

Outlining Your Right to a Personal Injury Claim

You need evidence to build a personal injury claim. The evidence you bring forward must prove that:

  • You deserved reasonable protection from another party
  • The named party engaged in avoidable negligence or recklessness
  • That negligence or recklessness caused you to endure unreasonable injuries
  • Those injuries have compromised your economic health

How to Meet Louisiana’s Burden of Proof

The evidence you use to make the aforementioned points will vary depending on the nature of your accident. For example, truck accidents allow you to use black box data to build a case against another party. You can’t use that same data in premises liability cases unless those cases involve truck drivers. You can work with an experienced lawyer to determine what forms of evidence can best build your case against another party. These may include the following:

  • Witness statements
  • Photos from before and after an accident
  • Video footage of an accident
  • Expert witness testimonies
  • Electronic evidence
  • Physical debris
  • Police reports
  • Medical records
  • Loss-based invoices

Our team can gather this evidence for you while you get your life back on track. You can count on us to keep you up-to-date on our findings and their impact on your case.
