Terrytown Fatal Car Accident Lawyer

We know car accidents can be fatal, but statistics do not do justice to the pain that a fatal car accident causes. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers fight for justice on behalf of surviving loved ones, so we know how devastating fatal motor vehicle accidents are. Our team will lead a wrongful death lawsuit for you, ensuring that you can work through the grieving process.

A Terrytown fatal car accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will work to hold liable parties responsible for your loved one’s passing. We’ll seek compensation for pain and suffering, medical bills, funeral expenses, and all other damages you have suffered.

Damages Caused by a Fatal Car Accident in Terrytown

It is not easy to put a loved one’s passing into numerical figures or statistics. Your loved one likely provided emotional and psychological benefits that numbers alone cannot describe—even so, our team will do our best to paint the complete picture of your damages.

Some damages we typically see in fatal car accident cases are:

Pain and Suffering

The American Psychological Association (APA) explains that losing a loved one can cause shock, confusion, grief, and depression. These and other forms of pain and suffering may entitle you to compensation. Our firm will also consider whether your loved one suffered because of their car accident in Terrytown.

You may also get compensation to treat grief and other symptoms, including:

  • Grief counseling
  • Medications
  • Psychotherapy

Pain and suffering is an important class of damage in all fatal car accident cases. Juries and attorneys use this loss category to cover many of the non-economic damages caused by wrongful deaths.

Medical Expenses

We’ll work to have liable parties cover all accident-related medical bills. This includes the cost of ambulance transports, medevac transport, emergency care, surgery, end-of-life care, and any other services your loved one received after the accident.

Funeral Expenses

Liable parties may cover the entire cost of your loved one’s funeral and burial. Healthline explains that funeral expenses routinely cost around $15,000, so this is an important damage in a fatal car accident lawsuit.

Lost Financial Support

When you lose a loved one because of a fatal car accident in Terrytown, LA, you may also lose:

  • Their income, which in some cases is the household’s primary form of financial support
  • Work-related benefits such as health insurance and employer-matched retirement contributions
  • The skills that they provide your household, such as handiwork, yard work, and chores

If the decedent managed family finances, made investing decisions, or provided any other financial benefits, our team will consider these lost benefits.

Loss of Companionship and Related Damages

Throughout all of the wrongful death cases Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers handle, we see the great human cost of a sudden passing. Losing a loved one in a fatal car accident may also mean losing:

  • A spouse’s companionship and support
  • A spouse’s intimacy
  • A parent’s guidance
  • The sense of stability that a parent can provide
  • Other emotional, psychological, and personal benefits that the decedent provided

Our fatal car accident attorney in Terrytown, LA wants to hear from you. We cannot understand the full magnitude of your loss without first learning about your loved one. Our team will do everything that we can to get the justice you and your surviving loved ones deserve.
