Ville Platte Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Pedestrian accidents are among the most negligent and heartbreaking on the roadways. There is no excuse for a driver putting you in harm’s way when you are simply trying to go about your day. Unfortunately, these types of accidents are all too common in Louisiana. According to the Center for Analytics & Research in Transportation (CARTS), there were over 1,400 pedestrian injuries in 2019 alone. 120 people who lost their lives in fatal pedestrian accidents.

Drivers owe it to everyone in the general vicinity to drive safely. When they fail to do so and pedestrians are injured in the process, victims may be entitled to compensation for their pain and suffering.

How You May Have Been Injured in Your Accident

Even if a vehicle is traveling at a very low rate of speed, the human body is no match for a motor vehicle. Some injuries in these cases can change a victim’s life forever, such as broken bones, internal organ damage, head injuries, and more. Further, this does not even take into account any potential psychological damage a victim may face after such a traumatic event.

Ultimately, the extent of the victim’s injuries will vary depending on a variety of factors such as the type of vehicle, the surface on which they were struck, the angle at which they were hit, and more.

Yet, regardless of how severe your injuries are, the field of personal injury law is there to try to protect you. After you seek medical attention, a Ville Platte pedestrian accident lawyer can be there to show the court how your pain and suffering relates to the crash.

Other types of injuries seen in these accidents can include, but may not be limited to:

  • Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Neck injuries from the sudden impact or landing after being struck
  • Road rash or other damages to the skin and soft parts of the body
  • Injuries to the arms and legs (such as broken bones), which may occur as you attempt to brace your fall
  • Back injuries, including spinal cord injuries (these can be among the most serious and may require surgery and result in complications like paralysis or nerve damage)
  • Wrongful death
  • And more

Areas Where You May Be Eligible to Receive Damages

In the event that the court sides with you and deems that the other party was liable for your injuries, there will be evaluations to see how much damages you may be eligible to receive. The factors used to determine the amount of compensation may include both economic damages and non-economic damages.

This means that your physical impact will be taken into account alongside any psychological and financial hardships they have been subjected to. If a settlement is not negotiated⁠—either with the services of a pedestrian accident lawyer or without one⁠—then the judge may be the one to determine the total sum based on the evidence presented.

In cases like these, factors that are commonly addressed in compensation may include:

  • Any bills that you have been saddled with as a result of the accident, including medical treatments and other financial areas that have been impacted due to your injuries and the recovery process
  • Mental anguish, such as newfound anxiety or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to the toll the accident has taken on the your mind
  • Impacts to your personal relationships, including your involvement with your family or romantic partner
  • Loss of work, lost wages, or the loss of the ability to work in the future
  • The impact it will have on your future, such as a newfound lack of mobility or the permanent need for rehabilitation services or medications
  • And more

Here at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, our team will work to tangibly prove every type of suffering you have had to endure after your accident. Even if there is no paper trail for a certain hardship, we will work to show how your life has been negatively impacted by the offender in question. We firmly believe that you should not be responsible for any suffering that another person has caused you. We will not back down from a legal battle.
