We Charge Nothing Out of Pocket for Our Help

We are a contingency-fee law firm. We do not ask our clients to pay any upfront fees. We don’t charge retainers or hourly fees, either. Our attorney’s fees are a percentage of the total compensation recovered in the case.

We will discuss this arrangement in detail during your initial consultation. Our attorneys will not get paid if we do not secure compensation for your losses.

Recovering Damages Based on a Lafayette Quadriplegia Injury Case

Even with extensive rehabilitation and therapies, quadriplegia is a life-altering diagnosis.

Many living with this type of disability require around-the-clock care and support, cannot work their previous job, and must make numerous changes to their home to accommodate lifts, power chair access, hospital beds, and other medical equipment.

All this costs money. This is in addition to the medical bills that come from the initial assessment and stabilization of their injuries, acute care in a trauma unit, and future treatment and care needs.

Our Lawyers Aim to Recover These Damages Following Your Accident

We do not believe victims of spinal cord injury accidents should have to pay these costs. Instead, the party who caused them should be legally responsible. By filing an insurance claim based on their policy or suing them in civil court, we often recover compensation for:

  • Medical bills, current and future
  • Ongoing care and support costs
  • Required medical and mobility equipment expenses
  • Income lost from time away from work
  • Diminished earning ability based on new limitations
  • Property damage costs (for instance, car repair expenses)
  • Related out-of-pocket expenses, with documentation
  • Pain and suffering
  • Other non-economic damages, including disability

We identify and document our clients’ related expenses and losses as a part of building their claims for compensation. We use this evidence to show the insurer or judge and jury what constitutes a fair award.

How a Lafayette Quadriplegia Lawyer From Our Team Helps Victims

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we have the necessary experience, knowledge, and resources to seek compensation for our clients—and we win. We know how these cases work and what needs to happen to document:

  • What occurred
  • Who is liable
  • The damages our client suffered

We investigate personal injury incidents regularly. We know how to identify, collect, and analyze evidence, including working with experts to value future and ongoing expenses based on catastrophic injuries. Our quadriplegia lawyers in Lafayette, LA, manage cases involving:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Slip and falls
  • Other premises liability injuries

Our catastrophic injury lawyers from Lafayette understand how these injuries occur and what it takes to recover compensation for them. We are well-versed in broken necks, spinal cord injuries, quadriplegia, and related injuries. This allows us to build solid cases that warrant damages.

As noted, we generally seek compensation for our clients through an insurance claim or civil suit. Most successful cases settle out of court, but our trial lawyers will not back down if we need to sue and go before a judge and jury to fight for fair compensation.

How Long do I Have to Sue the At-Fault Party in My Lafayette Injury Case?

There are deadlines for filing a lawsuit in Louisiana.

By law, victims generally only have up to two years to sue the responsible party. For injuries, the clock begins ticking on the date the injuries occurred under CC 3493.1. When the victim passes away, the countdown begins on their date of death, per CC Art. 2315.2.

However, you do not want to wait until this date approaches to file. Exceptions exist, and you could have less time than usual. In addition, evidence to support a compelling case for recovery often disappears quickly after an incident. The sooner we know about your injuries, the sooner we can gather and preserve this evidence.

We recommend notifying us of your injuries as soon as they are stable. We understand this is often difficult or impossible with quadriplegia, so we also work with family members who connect with us on behalf of their injured loved ones.
