Whiplash Is a Common Car Accident Injury that Varies in Severity

According to the Mayo Clinic, whiplash is a common injury related to car accidents, particularly rear-end collisions. However, car accident victims can sustain a whiplash injury in a variety of other accidents, such as side-impact crashes or head-on collisions.

No matter what type of accident you were in, if you sustained whiplash or other injuries because of someone else’s negligence, you might be able to pursue compensation for your damages.

How much compensation you might qualify for depends on the severity of your injuries and damages. According to the Mayo Clinic, whiplash symptoms can persist for a few weeks, months, or over multiple years.

If you were hurt in a car accident and have whiplash symptoms such as neck pain, the Mayo Clinic recommends seeing a doctor for an immediate evaluation.

There Are Multiple Types of Damages You Might Qualify For

If you intend to pursue compensation for your car accident, you may be surprised at how much you might be able to claim as damages. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can review your case and determine what type of damages you may qualify to collect compensation for. These damages include:

  • Medical expenses for treating your whiplash and other injuries
  • Pain and suffering you felt
  • Any property damage, such as to your vehicle
  • Lost wages or income if your whiplash prevented or continues to prevent you from going to work
  • Transportation costs if you needed alternative transportation while your vehicle was being repaired or replaced

This is not an exhaustive list of damages, and there are other accident-related expenses that might entitle you to compensation.

Your lawyer might also consider damages you may experience in the future. This is because plaintiffs have a limited time to pursue compensation for their damages. According to the Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492, plaintiffs generally have just two years from the date of their accident to file their personal injury lawsuit in Louisiana.

When you choose to work with a St. Charles Parish whiplash lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we can manage your case from its initial filing to its completion. We may be able to provide you with the following services during representation:

Evaluating Your Case for Free

When you first call our law firm, you can speak with one of our team members and describe your situation. The call is free and can serve as a great opportunity for you to ask all of the immediate questions you have, including whether you may qualify for compensation or what the specific deadlines are in your case.

Investigating Your Accident

Once we understand your side of the story, our team will launch an investigation to see if we can uncover more details that may be useful for your case. If we find any witnesses who saw the accident, we will also take the opportunity to get a statement from them.

Collecting Evidence to Support Your Case

Certain evidence might require formal requests or release forms, such as your medical records or traffic camera footage. Your lawyer might also request other forms of evidence if available, such as photos of the accident, surveillance footage from businesses nearby the accident scene, and accident reconstruction analysis.

Filing Paperwork on Your Behalf

As with most legal proceedings, there could be extensive paperwork to fill out. As your legal representative, we can fulfill this task for you so you can continue to focus on your recovery.

Calculating the Value of Your Case

Taking your damages into consideration, including future damages that may arise as a result of your accident, your lawyer can calculate and assign a monetary value to your case and use this sum as your goal for compensation.

Serving as Your Representative During Negotiations

Your lawyer can face the defendant, their insurer, and their legal team in order to negotiate for a settlement on your behalf.

Handling Communications Among All Involved Parties

Your lawyer can inform you of progress updates, or new settlement offers you may receive throughout the course of your legal pursuit. With each development, you will always have an opportunity to accept or decline an offer. Your lawyer will not make any decision without your consent.

Representing You on Trial

If all involved parties cannot come to an agreement about a settlement value, your lawyer might suggest continuing your pursuit of compensation on trial. Your lawyer can then prepare your case for trial and argue on your behalf in front of a judge and jury.
