Sunset Car Accident Lawyer

If you or a loved one was injured due to the negligence of another driver in Sunset, we can help. You may be entitled to compensation for your medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Holding the dangerous driver responsible for your injuries may prevent the same thing from happening to someone else.

If you were seriously injured in a car accident that was not your fault, contact a Sunset car accident lawyer at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers now at (337) 777-7777.

Dangerous Drivers and Liability for Your Injuries

When a dangerous driver crashes into your car, it can leave you stunned and confused. Your days become filled with doctors’ appointments, procedures, tests, and possible surgeries. A lawyer serving Sunset can help you deal with the little things that present themselves after a car accident. You should focus on healing. We are prepared to:

  • Gather and analyze evidence, like police reports and photos and video from the accident scene
  • Talk to eyewitnesses who were at the scene
  • Work with accident reconstructionists and expert witnesses
  • Answer any questions you may have
  • Make you aware of your legal options
  • Keep you updated at every stage of the case
  • File all paperwork on time
  • Handle all communications with the defendant and any insurance company

Dangerous drivers surround us every day. Here are just a few examples of the types of behaviors other drivers engage in behind the wheel:

  • Drunk driving: driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) level of .08 or higher
  • Distracted driving: driving while texting, reaching for items, eating, and more
  • Drowsy driving: driving without rest breaks or with an undiagnosed sleep disorder
  • Aggressive driving: driving through red lights, speeding, or purposely tailgating

The sad reality of these types of driving behaviors is that they are often preventable, yet people continue to take risks behind the wheel.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for every person killed in a motor vehicle crash, 8 people are hospitalized. A Louisiana driver’s license is a privilege and not a right. When someone fails to drive in a safe and responsible manner, resulting in harm to others, victims should demand justice.

If you were seriously injured due to a negligent driver, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 for a free case evaluation.

Possible Types of Compensation for Your Car Accident Injuries

A car accident that results in a serious injury can limit your ability to work. You may never return to a career you once loved or hobbies you enjoyed. Your mounting medical bills, along with your missed time from work, can cause you anxiety and stress.

While each case is different, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical bills, including medical transport, doctor bills, and hospital costs
  • Ongoing medical care costs such as rehabilitation, therapies, and prescription medication
  • Lost wages due to your time spent away from work during your recovery
  • Diminished earning capacity, if your injuries prevent you from working at the same job as before
  • Pain and suffering

The types of injuries you experienced may be life-changing. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, our legal team can fight for justice on your behalf. We work hard to secure fair compensation for our clients.

Insurance Companies and Settlement Offers

If an insurance company offers you a settlement, do not accept it. It may seem like a large sum to you and your family, but the reality is that insurance companies like to settle cases for the least amount possible.

The insurance company’s representatives may try to pressure you into accepting less than you deserve. Their number one priority is protecting the company’s best interests, not yours.

Should you accept their offer, you lose your right to pursue a civil lawsuit later if your medical condition worsens. Do not try to negotiate with an insurance company on your own—you will only end up disappointed and without funds for your medical care.

Let our legal team aggressively fight for the compensation you deserve so you can focus on your health and recovery.

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

Get Help from a Sunset Car Accident Lawyer Today

The statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit imposed by Art. 3492 of the Louisiana Civil Code may affect your case. Two years can pass very quickly, despite feeling like a long time. A civil case can take a long time to formulate. We want to get started as soon as possible so we can look at every angle of your accident and make sure we pursue all available avenues for compensation.

To prepare your case, we must review police reports, witness statements, and accident scene photos. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can get to work for you.

If you experienced serious injuries due to a distracted, drunk, or otherwise reckless driver, a Sunset car accident attorney can help. While we are tough with insurance companies, we are compassionate with our clients. If we are unable to secure a fair settlement out-of-court, we are ready and willing to go to trial.

We Can Help You Fight for Justice if You Lost a Loved One

If a car accident resulted in the loss of a loved one due to a negligent driver, you may qualify for a wrongful death claim. Possible compensation for your loss may cover funeral and burial costs, final medical expenses, and more.

No one should have to pay medical costs for injuries that occurred due to no fault of their own. If you suffered serious injuries—or lost a close loved one—due to a negligent driver, contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers without delay at (337) 777-7777.
