I NEED HELP NOW

Your personal injury lawyer can help you calculate your recoverable damages, which may include:

  • Medical Bills
  • Income Loss
  • Property Damage
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Lasting Disfigurement
Branch Personal Injury Lawyer

If you or a loved one suffered serious injuries due to the negligence of someone else, you may be entitled to compensation. A Branch personal injury lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to help you.

A personal injury is such a sudden and traumatic event that you may feel overwhelmed by your experience. The personal injuries, pain, stress, and financial concerns that result when another person fails to use care are not fair.

If the negligent actions of another person changed your life, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can provide you with legal representation. To learn more, call us today for a free case evaluation at (337) 777-7777.

Identifying Those Liable for Your Harm

When a serious injury results due to negligence, more than one party may face liability for your injuries. Identifying all parties responsible for your harm is where we may be able to help you. For example, a truck accident may have been caused by both a drunk driver and faulty brakes.

To prove your case, we must demonstrate that the responsible party or parties owed you a duty of care. As part of the duty of care process, we must also prove:

  • The defendant was negligent, failing to protect you from harm
  • The defendant’s negligence caused your injuries
  • You or your family sustained damages due to the defendant’s negligence

In the example above, both the driver and the trucking company that employs them can serve as defendants due to their liability. Other examples of possible liability include:

  • Manufacturers of harmful products
  • Negligent property owners
  • Medical malpractice
  • Drivers who engage in dangerous behavior

No one should put profits over people or fail to take time to use care on Louisiana roadways. When someone fails to extend the same care to you as you do to others, hold them responsible for their negligence with the help of Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers.

Car Accidents and Personal Injury Cases

Among the most common type of personal injury cases are car accidents. According to research by Louisiana State University, more than 74,900 people suffered injuries in car accidents throughout the state during 2018, and 770 died.

A serious car accident can leave you unable to work, while the death of a spouse can result in the loss of income. Both scenarios can create great anxiety and worry as you heal from your injuries or mourn your loss.

While each civil claim and lawsuit is unique to the facts involved, the following types of compensation are possible:

Personal Injury

Personal injury compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses associated with your injuries
  • Ongoing medical costs for injuries requiring further treatment
  • Loss of income
  • Diminished earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death compensation may include:

  • Final medical expenses for your loved one
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of income
  • Loss of potential future earnings
  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of inheritance

How to Protect and Help Your Case

One of the most proactive steps you can take following your car accident is to hire a Branch personal injury lawyer. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we provide free case evaluations. This helps you—and us—determine if you have a possible case for compensation.

If an insurance company representative contacts you, refer them to your lawyer. Engaging in a conversation with them alone is dangerous to your case for the following reasons:

  • They may try to blame you for the accident
  • They may try to convince you to accept a settlement

If you accept an offer to settle without legal representation present, you may regret the decision later. Accepting a settlement offer can prevent you from pursuing civil action in the future—a real problem if your medical condition worsens.

The Time Limits for Pursuing a Civil Lawsuit

No matter how your personal injury occurred, state law limits the time allowed for pursuing civil action. Louisiana Civil Code Art. 3492 allows just two years from the date of injury or the date of death to pursue a civil lawsuit.

Two years—12 months—can fly by as you lose track of time. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we know what steps are necessary for filing your lawsuit on time.

We feel honored when clients trust us with the details of their case. It can place your mind at ease, knowing someone is on your side and fighting for justice on your behalf.

Gathering evidence before it becomes lost and interviewing witnesses before their memory fades is essential for your case.

Let us get to work on your behalf by reaching out to our team now at (337) 777-7777.
