Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Is on Your Side

At our firm, we are always glad to take the lead role in our clients’ lawsuits so that they do not have any legal tasks to worry about as they recover. Some services our lawyers provide are:

  • Filing your claim promptly
  • Creating a timeline outlining certain legal milestones to aim for and when you must hit them
  • Interviewing witnesses regarding the details of your accident
  • Combing through the police report and other official documents for relevant information
  • Keeping your case moving on schedule
  • Calculating how much money your case is worth
  • Negotiating for a settlement that covers your expenses
  • Fighting for your claim at trial if necessary

Taking the time to answer your questions about the law, your rights, or anything else related to your case
Even though we handle all legal tasks, we do not make decisions for or without our clients’ input. You can expect to meet with us regularly, either in person or by phone, to discuss developments in your case and weigh the pros and cons of all legal options.

Paying for Legal Help

We do not get paid attorney’s fees until the conclusion of your case when you agree to a settlement offer or receive a jury award. This is called a contingency fee. It benefits you by:

  • Enabling you to hire legal representation without paying up front
  • Not requiring you to pay any attorney’s fees at all if we cannot get compensation for you
  • Not adding to the financial burden you must shoulder as a result of the accident

In addition, we offer free consultations to all personal injury victims. A member of our team will promptly tell you how our firm can be of service.

Assigning Value to Your Injury-Related Expenses

Once our lawyer proves your injuries were the result of someone else’s actions, they will assign a value to your injuries and losses.

This involves collecting and examining evidence from:

  • Medical records and doctor’s statements
  • Accident reports
  • Witness statements
  • Expert statements
  • Video footage
  • Personal photos
  • Pay stubs
  • Bills and receipts
  • Scientific studies

It is our job to seek such evidence, but we will review any materials you feel are helpful to your case.

Damages You Could Qualify in a Broussard Injury Case

Armed with these forms of evidence, we will help prove your need for damages such as:

  • Compensation for financial losses (economic damages)
  • Compensation for physical and emotional injuries (non-economic damages)
  • A combination of both

Specific examples of economic and non-economic damages include:

  • Emergency and ongoing medical bills
  • Repair bills (for example, if your car was damaged)
  • Lost wages
  • Lost employment or employment opportunities
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Other accident-related expenses
  • Pain and suffering and inconvenience
  • Emotional trauma
  • Permanent or temporarily disability
  • Loss of consortium (for example, if you and your spouse separated due to the accident)
  • Lost independence or quality of life

You may also be able to seek damages for items that we have not listed here. This is especially true if your loved one died in an accident and you are filing a wrongful death suit. A Broussard personal injury lawyer from our firm will determine what other losses you could recover.

He was always patient, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions I had. What stood out most was how genuinely he cared. He made sure I understood every step and always made me feel supported and informed.

Your Personal Injury Case Has Value, and You Should Know What It Is

In the aftermath of your accident, the liable party’s insurance company may approach you. It might:

  • Offer you a settlement that is not only designed to prevent you from seeking legal representation but also to save their company money
  • Refuse to negotiate after the initial offer, making you believe this is the only money you can possibly get for your injuries
  • Shift the blame for the accident from their client to you, stating your actions contributed to or caused your injuries

If you take any sum from the insurance company and then later find out you need additional funds for any reason, you may have to pay out of your own pocket. This is why we encourage you to know what the value of your case is and let us handle all communications and negotiations with the insurance company.

You Have a Limited Time to Act in a Louisiana Injury Case

CC Art. 3492 states that you have two years from the accident date to file your lawsuit for damages. In a wrongful death action, CC Art. 2315.2 gives you two years from the date of your loved one’s passing to seek damages. These deadlines apply to incidents and injuries caused by:

If you do not see your accident listed here, you can reach out to us, and we will review your situation to determine if you have legal recourse. We want to help. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we believe there is no reason why you should have to pay for damages from an accident that was not your fault.

The Four Elements of Negligence in an Injury Case

To hold the responsible party accountable for your injuries, we must prove the following four factors played a role in your injuries:

  • Duty of care: Everyone, no matter who they are, has a responsibility not to harm others. For example, a truck driver is obligated to always pay attention to the road, and a property owner has an obligation to maintain their property.
  • Breach of duty of care: We must show the liable party either recklessly or carelessly endangered others by violating their duty of care. Going back to the previous example, if a truck driver operated a vehicle while extremely drowsy, this would be an example of violating their standard of care.
  • Causation: We need to prove that your injuries occurred as a direct result of the other party’s negligence. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can launch an investigation into what – and who – caused your accident.
  • Damages: We must show you have suffered because of the accident the liable party caused. This may include both economic and non-economic damages.

Proving these important parts of your case could be difficult without the right legal representation. Our team would like to get started on building and strengthening your case as soon as possible. The sooner we start, the sooner your case will get underway.
