Slidell Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Negligent motorists cause many pedestrian accidents. Still, such collisions may happen because of issues beyond the driver’s control, such as mechanical failure due to a defective vehicle part. Before claiming reimbursement for pedestrian accident injuries, you must prove a particular party was liable.

A Slidell pedestrian accident lawyer with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will help you fight for the compensation you deserve. We have recovered $200 million-plus in financial recoveries for our clients, and we want to help you. We can speak with you about your accident to learn more about how we can help. You can call us today for a free consultation.

Recoverable Damages in a Slidell Pedestrian Accident

Our Slidell lawyer can request that the liable party compensate you for your injuries and how the accident affects your life or career. We can investigate what happened in the accident and seek financial and non-financial damages for you based on what happened.

A financial loss you can pursue after a pedestrian accident is missed income. This injury would apply to your case if you suffered physical harm that stopped you from working. More financial damages our Slidell attorney can seek are:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Property repair and replacement
  • Lost benefits, career opportunities
  • Burial and funeral costs resulting from wrongful death

Pain and Suffering

A non-financial loss we could claim is pain and suffering. This category of losses can include several injuries that cause emotional strain and distress. 

Pain and suffering may also include the loss of life enjoyment due to the accident. Other damages in this category are:

  • Reduced quality of life
  • Physical impairment
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Discomfort
  • Grief from a loved one’s death
  • Loss of companionship

A Slidell pedestrian accident can affect your mental health by causing stress. You could lose some cognitive functions if you suffered a traumatic brain injury. Our attorney can work with medical professionals to determine the costs of treating your condition. Further, we can assess the severity of the issue and how it affects you. This information can support a claim for reimbursement for mental health injuries.

Liability in a Slidell Pedestrian Accident

Various parties may be accountable for a Slidell accident based on how it happened. For example, the driver will be at fault if they hit you when speeding. You can also hold them accountable if they were driving when drunk or did not signal before turning.

A motorist can also bear fault for a Slidell pedestrian accident if they:

  • Text while driving
  • Use the wrong lane
  • Fail to yield 
  • Reverse their vehicle without warning
  • Open doors in a moving vehicle
  • Drive in areas that are for pedestrians

Commercial Vehicles and Accident Liability

Another party that might be at fault for a pedestrian accident is a commercial company. For example, if a truck fails due to poor maintenance and hits you, you may hold the trucking firm accountable. You could also recover damages from the company if the collision resulted from issues like:

  • Tired drivers
  • Unqualified drivers
  • Poorly secured cargo

How Municipalities Can Be Liable for a Pedestrian Accident

Government institutions and contractors may be at fault for a pedestrian accident if it results from their negligence. For example, if a driver hits a poorly designed bump and runs off the road leading to a crash, you may hold the parties at fault. If a collision results from potholes, it is also possible to sue the parties in charge of road maintenance.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Establishing Liability in a Slidell Pedestrian Accident

Our Slidell attorney will help you identify all the parties that could bear responsibility in a pedestrian accident. We can get a copy of the police report to determine if the driver was drunk during the collision. This document will also help them understand how the crash occurred based on police investigations and witness statements.

If an accident happened in a residential or commercial area, we can check to see if security cameras captured it. After that, we can obtain the footage and analyze it to understand each party’s actions before the collision.

Our Slidell attorney can work with an accident reconstructionist to determine liability. We can use the evidence collected at the scene to work back and identify all issues leading to the crash. Some items they may use to reconstruct are:

  • Skid marks
  • Images of vehicle damages
  • Debris displaced at the scene

If a Slidell pedestrian accident resulted from mechanical failure, we could use maintenance records to determine liability. Such documents will help us establish if the owner services the vehicle regularly and properly. These records can also show if the crash resulted from a defective part or a mechanic’s error.

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

Filing a Slidell Pedestrian Accident Case and Working With an Insurer

When our Slidell attorney establishes fault, they can start the claims process. The lawyer will first identify the damage from the collision and its secondary effects. After that, they can assess each injury’s value based on its severity and related financial losses.

Once your Slidell attorney has enough details about the sustained damages, they will write a demand letter to the liable party’s insurer. They will then send the document to the liable party or insurers and wait for a response.

We can handle the insurer and negotiate for your compensation. We can also advise you on whether a settlement offer is too low. We can always try for a better offer. Sometimes, however, some cases settle at trial. If we must go to court, we can file your injury lawsuit to recover damages within the two-year deadline under CC. Art 3492. You also have two years to file a wrongful death action, per CC. Art. 2315.2.

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.
