What Is the Average Settlement a for Car Accident while Pregnant?

 

The average settlement for a car accident while pregnant depends on the case’s specifics. For example, the compensation amount may depend on the severity of the accident and injuries and the amount of liability you may share for causing the accident.

A car accident attorney from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you fight for the compensation you are due after you or your loved one suffers a pregnancy injury in a motor vehicle accident. Let us take on your case and advocate for you during this challenging time.

Factors that Can Affect a Settlement for a Car Accident Involving Pregnancy Injuries

The extent of your injuries and losses affects how much money you can expect from a settlement. The more severe your case and the more expenses you can demonstrate, the more you can recover through a claim or lawsuit. You can potentially recover economic and non-economic compensatory damages after you get hurt in a car accident while pregnant.

Economic Damages

Economic damages compensate for your financial losses due to your injuries. This can include injuries like whiplash while pregnant and countless others. Common economic damages include:

  • Doctor’s bills
  • Medication costs
  • Hospital stays
  • Surgery costs
  • Medical device costs
  • Physical therapy
  • Rehabilitation
  • Vehicle repair costs
  • Transportation costs
  • Out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident

Non-Economic Damages

You can also recover non-economic damages meant to compensate you for things like your physical pain and mental suffering. These losses do not have a fixed dollar amount, but our injury lawyer can assess them and assign each a value so that you can include them in a settlement request from the liable party. Other pain and suffering damages for a settlement for a car accident while pregnant include:

  • Mental health conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Disability
  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

We will review your car accident case and advise you of the damages you could recover from the liable party.

Common Pregnancy Injuries in an Auto Accident

A pregnant passenger is likely thinking about the possible harm that could happen to their unborn child when a car accident happens. Any number of pregnancy complications can result from an auto collision, including the following:

  • Miscarriage
  • Fetal injuries
  • Premature birth
  • Uterine injuries
  • Maternal shock
  • Placental abruption (this happens when the placenta separates from the uterus wall)
  • Birth defects

Pregnancies can be upgraded to the high-risk category after an auto accident. This could result in extra medical bills if it means the mother must receive more monitoring from a medical professional.

If you suffered injuries in a car accident, you may be able to recover a pain and suffering pregnant settlement for any injuries you suffered during a collision. An injury attorney with our firm can also seek a settlement for a miscarriage due to a car accident for clients who cannot carry a pregnancy to term because they were in a motor vehicle collision.

If you lost a pregnant loved one in a car accident, you might be able to recover wrongful death damages for their losses and your suffering due to their passing.

How Contributory Negligence Can Affect Your Pregnant Car Accident Settlement

CC Art. 2323, Louisiana’s contributory negligence statute, means the amount you can recover from a lawsuit depends on the amount of responsibility you have for causing the accident and injuries.

If your negligence contributed to the accident, this does not mean you are barred from recovering damages. If your lawyer can show that the party you are suing was more at fault than you were, you can still win damages for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

This is why it is important to work with a lawyer who will investigate the pregnancy injuries related to the car accident to uncover any evidence of negligence on behalf of the other driver. If your lawyer can present evidence that the other driver demonstrated risky driving behavior that resulted in your accident, this can help your case and possibly win you a greater settlement.

Types of Negligence in Pregnancy Car Accident Cases We Can Help You Seek Damages for

Various negligent driving behaviors can put someone at fault for an accident that could injure pregnant passengers. Below are some of the more common types.

Drunk and Drug-Impaired Driving

Drunk or drug-impaired drivers lack the reflexes, perception, and judgment skills needed to keep themselves and others around them safe. Drug impairment can come with illegal drug use as well as prescription medication or over-the-counter medication use.

Drowsy and Fatigued Driving

Drivers who have been traveling for a long time or did not get enough sleep the night before may become drowsy. Fatigue dulls the senses and reflexes you need to drive safely. Some drowsy drivers may even fall asleep behind the wheel.

Distracted Driving

Distractions are anything that takes a driver’s attention away from the road. Distracted drivers can miss other vehicles or pedestrians because they are occupied with something other than driving safely.

With the rise of smartphones, technological distractions are all around us. Texting, calling, web browsing, looking at a GPS or digital map, or changing the song on your streaming service can all be deadly distractions.

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving behaviors include speeding, running traffic lights and signs, weaving in lanes, tailgating, and road rage behaviors. This kind of driving recklessly puts others on the road at risk.

Aggressive drivers may not see situations on the road or may be unable to respond in time to avoid a collision. Speeding drivers can cause serious accidents because of the force and speed behind their vehicles, taking what would otherwise be a minor accident and making it potentially deadly.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Louisiana’s Statute of Limitations Can Affect Your Car Wreck While Pregnant Case

Per CC 3493.1, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the time of the accident. Wrongful death lawsuits also have the same deadline, which begins on the date of your loved one’s death, according to CC Art. 2315.2.

Since your time is limited, we encourage you to act now. The sooner you get in touch with us, the sooner we can begin protecting your rights and fighting for the compensation you deserve.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
