New Orleans is a popular place for culture and tourism. Many areas around the city are easier to walk in rather than drive. You might have chosen to walk because it is a quick way to visit shops and restaurants. However, what happens when a fun time in the city turns into an unfortunate accident on the road?
A pedestrian accident can cause severe damages and injuries that may significantly disrupt your life. If you were struck by a vehicle while walking, our lawyer may be able to help you fight for compensation. You can speak with the Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers team today about your accident.
Our Lawyer Can Help you Determine the Negligent Party
Determining negligence is not always as easy as it seems. Your case may get complicated if the other party claims you were partially negligent for the accident. As stated in CC §2323, if you are deemed partially negligent for an accident, your compensation may be reduced.
Our New Orleans-based lawyer wants to help you refute such accusations and fight for fair compensation in your pedestrian accident. We can help you by:
- Evaluating your case at no charge. This way, you can find out quickly and easily if it is viable and worth pursuing.
- Supporting your case with evidence that shows how the other party was at fault for your accident. For example, we might be able to show surveillance footage that captured the accident.
- Taking over the communications between other lawyers and insurance companies. You do not have to carry that burden on your shoulders.
- Supporting you throughout the litigation process. We will advise you of your options and update you about your case.
- Negotiating with the insurance company for a fair settlement and going to trial on your behalf if they will not negotiate.
- Managing your case while you focus on your recovery. You do not have to concern yourself with filing paperwork, meeting deadlines, or making important legal decisions on your own.
Our lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can protect your rights and fight for compensation. You do not have to fight alone. You can find out why our clients describe us as “phenomenal” and “like a good friend” during a free case evaluation in our New Orleans office.

- Medical expenses, including rehabilitation, physical therapy, surgery, prescription medicines, and assistive devices
- Property damages, including whatever devices you had on you that were damaged in the accident
- Pain and suffering, including short-term and long-term declines in both your physical and psychological health
