New Iberia Paralysis Injury lawyer

 

If you developed paralysis from an injury that was not your fault, a New Iberia paralysis injury lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers could help you pursue compensation for your injuries and losses from the negligent party.

You will likely need medical intervention for the rest of your life, which can add up to astronomical expenses. The party who caused your injuries through carelessness should have to pay these expenses instead of you.

You could work with our personal injury lawyer on your claim, leaving you free to focus on rebuilding your life and learning new ways to perform ordinary living tasks, despite your new limitations.

After you select a paralysis injury attorney in New Iberia, LA, to handle your case, you will have more time for your health and well-being.

What Is a Paralysis Injury?

According to the Mayo Clinic, paralysis can develop from an injury to the spinal cord. If your paralysis impacts all or some of your trunk, legs, and pelvic organs, you have paraplegia.

If the paralysis affects those parts of your body and your hands and arms, you have tetraplegia, also called quadriplegia.

You have incomplete paralysis if you still have some motor or sensory function below the level at which your spinal cord sustained damage. If all motor and sensory functions are gone below that level, you have complete paralysis.

Many accidents can result in paralysis, including motorcycle wrecks. In this situation, a motorcycle accident attorney in New Iberia can assist you.

Recoverable Damages in New Iberia Paralysis Injury Accidents

People who suffer paralysis from an accident will likely need extensive ongoing medical intervention for the rest of their lives. In addition, they might have difficulty making the same amount of income as they did before their injuries.

People with paralysis should not bear these or other financial or non-economic consequences of someone else’s negligence.

Here are some of the kinds of money damages our New Iberia catastrophic injury attorneys have recovered for our paralysis clients:

  • Initial medical treatment costs. These expenses include things like the ambulance, trauma center, surgery, doctors, hospital stays, intensive care unit, blood transfusions, physical therapy, and prescription medications.
  • Ongoing care. With a debilitating condition like paralysis, the injured person will likely need follow-up procedures from healthcare professionals.
  • Rehabilitation costs. People who suffer catastrophic injuries like paralysis often need to receive advanced treatment and therapy at a specialized rehabilitation center.
  • Loss of independence. Many people lose the ability to live independently because of paralysis. The cost of long-term care should be the responsibility of the negligent party who caused the accident.
  • Lost earnings. The injured person will likely be unable to work for quite some time because of their injuries, medical procedures, and recuperation time. If they are not paid their regular income during that time, we can add their lost wages to the injury claim.
  • Future lost income. An injured person might be unable to make as much money because of their permanent impairments.
  • Pain and suffering. These losses are highly relevant in paralysis cases because severe wounds cause spinal cord damage and excruciating pain in multiple parts of the body. Luckily, a spinal cord injury lawyer from New Iberia can seek compensation for your pain.
  • Other intangible losses for paralysis injuries. These can include loss of enjoyment of life because of activities the person can no longer perform, like walking across the room or carrying their child. Also, the individual might develop chronic anxiety and depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Damages for disfigurement can address extensive scars from wounds and surgeries.

Every injury case has unique circumstances that control how much compensation a person can recover and the monetary damages they can pursue.

When we speak with you about your situation, tell us how your paralysis injury affects your life. We must include all relative damages in your injury claim because we will not be able to come back and ask for more money after we resolve your case.

If a close relative suffered fatal injuries in a New Iberia paralysis accident, we might be able to pursue a wrongful death action seeking additional compensation for the family.

Contingency Fees in New Iberia Paralysis Cases

Many people try to handle personal injury cases without an attorney’s help because they think they cannot afford a lawyer. We take New Iberia paralysis injury cases on a contingency fee arrangement, so we do not charge clients upfront or hourly legal fees.

We wait until the end of the matter to get paid for our work. At that time, we receive a percentage of the settlement proceeds or court award that cover our legal fees.

Also, we have a strict no-fee guarantee. You do not owe us any fees if we do not recover compensation for you.

CTA CTA

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

Louisiana’s Statute of Limitations for Injury and Wrongful Death Cases

You will have many things to deal with after suffering paralysis from an injury in New Iberia, Louisiana. Unfortunately, Louisiana does not give you time to fully recuperate before you can take legal action to hold the negligent party financially accountable for your losses.

CC 3493.1 generally gives you only two years to file a lawsuit for your injuries. If your loved one suffered fatal wounds, CC Art. 2315.2 limits you to two years from their death date to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Once the deadline passes, Louisiana law will forever prevent you from seeking monetary compensation from the negligent party.

CTA CTA

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.
