You Can Feel Fine One Moment and Be Seriously Injured the Next
No one leaves their house expecting to suffer serious injuries in a car accident or some other accident. The following types of injuries can require a lengthy recovery, and some may result in a permanent disability:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
Even if a person physically recovers from a severe injury, they might still need to mentally recover. Many develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from an event that severely injured them. According to the mental health journal Professional Psychology, Research, and Practice, people who have been in a motor vehicle accident can experience PTSD symptoms, such as reliving traumatic events, avoidant behaviors, trigger responses, and emotional numbness.
The following are examples of accidents that could cause severe injuries, both mental and physical:
- Motor vehicle accidents: These accidents may involve cars, trucks, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles.
- Accidents involving non-motorists: These accidents may involve pedestrians and bicyclists.
- Maritime injuries: These accidents occur when people are working on or along the water.
- Slip and fall accidents: These accidents involve invited guests who slip and fall at a private or public property.

ClientAvoid Talking to Insurance Company Agents
Insurance companies like to settle cases quickly and for the lowest amount possible. If an insurance company representative tries to pressure you into a settlement, do not speak with them.
Their “help” might be disguised as a tactic to have you accept less compensation than what you are entitled to collect. While your financial concerns are very real, it may be better to wait until you and your legal team value the total extent of your losses before you agree to any settlement.
Each personal injury case is different, and the outcome of your case depends on a variety of factors. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we negotiate with insurance companies for the type of settlement you need for your damages. If we are unable to settle your case out of court, we are ready to go to trial.
Accepting a settlement without legal representation can leave you with no legal options in the future. This can be concerning if your medical condition worsens. Protect your interests and secure legal representation now.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientYour Medical Bills Will Not Wait and May Never Stop Accumulating
From transport to the hospital to ongoing medical care, medical bills may seem to never stop after you sustain an injury. If an injury prevents you from working, figuring out how to pay your bills could weigh heavily on your mind.
A personal injury lawyer from our team can fight for the following types of compensation on your behalf:
- Your current and ongoing medical costs
- Your lost wages due to time spent recovering
- Your diminished earning capacity if you are unable to return to the same job as before
- Pain and suffering
If your loved one sustained an injury that resulted in their death, you might be able to file a wrongful death claim and lawsuit on their behalf. You may be able to receive compensation to cover funeral and burial costs, loss of income, loss of consortium, and other damages related to your loved one’s death.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
