Recoverable Economic Damages After a Boat Accident in New Iberia, Louisiana

Economic damages are usually supported by a range of documents, including bills, estimates, receipts, and invoices, so we compile them all to support your request for:

  • Medical bills from the date of the injury until you reach maximum medical improvement
  • Assistive medical devices, required medications, and treatment-related travel expenses
  • Lost wages for the time you cannot work due to your injuries and the recovery process
  • The cost of restoring your car to its pre-accident condition, replacing it, or its diminished value

Our boat accident lawyer serving New Iberia, LA, will present the at-fault boater’s insurance provider with proof of their policyholder’s negligence. We also send a demand letter that describes your compensation request.

Recoverable Non-Economic Damages After a New Iberia Boat Accident

Non-economic damages are intangible and can be hard to quantify and document on your own. Our boat accident team is familiar with documenting damages like these, so we collect medical records and bills and a prognosis describing your current and future treatment.

These documents describe the physical and emotional toll of the accident and assist us in determining the monetary value of your physical pain and suffering, and inconvenience. We also request compensation for disabling or disfiguring injuries and for mental anguish, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
