If you suffered traumatic injuries due to a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical costs, lost wages, and emotional trauma. While each case is different, pursuing compensation can help you move on from this painful experience.

Everyone who holds a driver’s license in the state of Louisiana assumes a duty of care not to cause others harm. Of course, according to Louisiana Data Reports, that duty isn’t always exercised. Whether the driver who caused your injuries was distracted or driving aggressively, the other motorist violated their duty of care, and your collision is not your fault. When another driver crashes into you, leaving you severely injured, you deserve justice.

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we can determine liability for your injuries and fight for fair compensation on your behalf. If we are unable to settle your case out-of-court, we are ready to go to trial.

It is in your best interest not to accept a settlement offer from an insurance company. We are well aware of the tactics insurance companies use to deny or to delay claims. Should you accept their initial offer, you may forfeit your chance to pursue civil litigation later, even if your condition worsens. Securing legal representation is a valuable opportunity in protecting your financial future.

If you lost a close loved one in a car accident, you may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. The statute of limitations for filing either a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit is only one year from the date of your injuries or your loved one’s passing.

If you’ve experienced serious injuries due to a negligent driver, do not speak with insurance company representatives. Contact us instead. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers now at (337) 777-7777.
