La mayoría de las personas han tenido lesiones menores en algún momento, como contusiones, rasguños o cortaduras. Aunque son molestias, estas lesiones a menudo no resultan en gastos médicos significativos. Sin embargo, las lesiones más graves pueden ser una historia diferente, potencialmente terminando en hospitalizaciones, radiografías u otras pruebas de diagnóstico costosas y múltiples citas médicas. Un abogado de lesiones personales de Louisiana podría ayudarlo con su lesión. Después de evaluar su caso para determinar si podría ser elegible para compensación legal, podrían representarlo en la corte para ayudarlo a obtener daños y asegurarse de que sea compensado de manera justa por sus gastos.
En Louisiana, cualquier persona lesionada debido a la acción o inacción de otra persona puede ser elegible para presentar una demanda civil por daños. Según el Código Civil de Louisiana §3492, el plazo de prescripción para tales demandas generalmente es de un año. En otras palabras, las víctimas de lesiones generalmente tienen un año a partir de la fecha de su lesión para presentar una demanda de compensación. En general, las personas tienen el deber de cuidado de evitar exponer a otros a situaciones potencialmente perjudiciales. Si una persona incumple ese deber mediante un acto irresponsable o imprudente que resulta en lesiones físicas a otra persona, pueden ser civilmente responsables por su negligencia.

At the very first meeting with Alexis and Danielle they took the time to explain everything to us so that we understood what we were going to go through. They checked in on us to see how things were going with DR appointment and therapy. They checked in on the phone or by text and if I had a question and I was in Lafayette and I would stop by the office one of them would come to answer my questions. I truly appreciate the response and respect that they showed to me and my husband and I would really recommend them to family and friends.
Michelle Brouillette is always so pleasant whenever I call or stop by the office. She always has a smile on her face.
