Our Personal Injury Lawyers in Ruston Can Handle Various Accident Cases

Negligence can come in many different settings and forms. When it factors into accidents that result in injuries, victims have a right to seek compensation from a liable party. In efforts to serve victims of a variety of accidents, our legal team consists of the following:

  • Car accident lawyers
  • Motorcycle accident lawyers
  • Truck accident lawyers
  • Bicycle accident lawyers
  • Pedestrian accident lawyers
  • Dog bite lawyers
  • Maritime injury lawyers
  • Workplace accident lawyers
  • Wrongful death lawyers

Our legal team provides compassionate, family-oriented legal care. We know your family is the most important part of your life, and suffering accident-related injuries can take a toll on your loved ones, as well. We are here to advocate for you and your family’s best interests.

We Seek Maximum Compensation for Personal Injury Cases

Your potential damages in a personal injury claim depend on how bad your injuries are and how much bearing they will have on your future. It’s important to assess a settlement offer to ensure that it accurately reflects your losses. This includes both current and future losses, especially if you suffer a disability due to your accident-related injuries. Our personal injury attorneys in Ruston, LA, always seek to maximize your compensation so you aren’t left with financial losses. We can gather information that establishes your damages and the value of your case. Take a look at some of the potential awards your injuries may warrant.

Medical Expenses

Our attorneys can seek payment for all medical bills related to your injury. Awards could cover a range of expenses, including emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgery costs, medication, medical equipment, rehabilitation, and future medical treatment expenses.

Lost Income

If you had to miss work due to an injury, we will quantify your lost wages and diminished future earning potential to seek fair compensation. This includes payment for both lost wages and lost benefits.

Pain and Suffering

The physical pain, emotional trauma, and diminished quality of life caused by an injury can be traumatic. Our attorneys will fight for compensation for the mental anguish and overall pain and suffering endured.

Property Damage

In addition to physical injuries, we can help recover repair/replacement costs for any vehicles, property, or valuables damaged in the incident.

How Our Ruston Personal Injury Team Can Build Your Case

When we investigate your accident, we will identify a liable party. Even if multiple parties share liability, we can pursue each of them for their share of the blame. We handle all the necessary paperwork required for your insurance claim or lawsuit.

We can gather a variety of evidence to demonstrate that another party owed you a duty of care and breached it, causing your injuries. Examples of evidence in a personal injury case include:

  • A police report
  • Video surveillance footage, such as traffic camera recordings
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Expert witness testimony
  • Photos of the accident scene and your injuries
  • Medical records, receipts, and bills

Some of these pieces of evidence can be difficult to obtain without the help of a lawyer. Our legal team can handle it all for you. We know how to get a car accident report in Ruston and how to request accident scene reconstruction, for example.

Our Ruston Attorneys Can Deal With the Liable Party so You Don’t Have to

You won’t have to worry about talking to insurance adjusters or defense attorneys, either. We can handle all these communications for you. We field all settlement offers, and we will know if an insurer is trying to undervalue your claim. Our team at Laborde Earles can counter an insurer’s determination of fault and prevent them from shifting more of the blame onto you, for instance.

We can also represent you in a trial if needed, arguing your case before a judge or jury. Even if you file a lawsuit, you may be able to settle your case before ever going to trial. Regardless, we will be ready to seek a court-awarded verdict.

Start Your Personal Injury Lawsuit Sooner Than Later

The best way to secure your right to take legal action against a negligent party is by reaching out to a Ruston lawyer as soon as possible. The statute of limitations in Louisiana is very short and does not leave much time for you to build a case. According to CC Art. 3492, you typically only have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit.

If you miss this deadline, the court could dismiss your entire lawsuit. We can begin working on your case immediately because we do not charge upfront fees. We only take a percentage of your compensation if we win your case. This allows us to help you meet this deadline and streamline your case as much as possible.
