A Marksville Skull Fracture Lawyer Can Recover Damages for You

Suppose you suffer a skull fracture in an accident, and your injury requires immediate medical attention. During an examination, your doctor discovers that you have a hematoma or contusion in addition to the fracture. Now, you have medical bills piling up. Unfortunately, you’ve had to stop working, so you no longer earn an income.

Seeking compensation isn’t just about holding the liable party accountable for causing your injuries. It’s also about covering your resulting losses, which can include the following:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost income and benefits
  • Child care
  • Home Services
  • Property damage
  • Physical therapy
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Mental anguish
  • Psychological trauma
  • Loss of enjoyment
  • Loss of companionship
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement

How Much Is My Case Worth?

Our firm has won multimillion-dollar settlements for clients. However, the value of your case will depend on what losses you suffer and how much evidence you have to back up your claims. Remember: there are no caps on damages in Louisiana.

Your attorney will calculate your claim’s worth and negotiate with the liable party’s insurance provider for a fair settlement. The insurer will likely make an initial settlement offer, but these offers are typically low and won’t adequately cover your losses. Thus, you should not sign a settlement offer without your lawyer reviewing it first. Then, we can determine if the offer is fair and advise you on how to proceed.

A Skull Fracture Lawyer in Marksville, LA, Can Benefit Your Case

Having an attorney advocate for you means someone will look out for your best interests for the duration of your case. Our team will not let the at-fault party or their insurer take advantage of you during this vulnerable time.

However, that’s not the only benefit of hiring a lawyer from our firm. When you work with us, your case gains the resources of our firm, which we will employ to:

  • Investigate the accident: We will determine liability and gather evidence, including police reports, video footage, photographs, witness statements, expert opinions, and medical records.
  • Calculate the value of your claim: We will evaluate medical bills, pay records, repair invoices, and other evidence to determine a reasonable value for your tangible losses. We’ll also place a monetary value on your pain and suffering, then pursue this compensation from the at-fault party.
  • Negotiate with the insurance company: We will talk to the insurance provider to reach a fair settlement in your case.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary: Most personal injury cases settle out of court, but we will prepare your case for court and file a lawsuit if needed.

We urge you to consult with a skull fracture lawyer in Marksville, LA, as soon as possible after a car accident, especially if you suffer a catastrophic injury. We can help you understand your options and choose the best path forward.

You Only Have a Limited Time to Act on Your Skull Fracture Claim

While most states give you several years to file a personal injury lawsuit, Louisiana limits you to only two years from the date of your injury to file, according to CC 3493.1. If you don’t file a lawsuit before the deadline, you will lose your right to seek compensation through the courts.

We will work to meet the statute of limitations in your case so you don’t lose your right. Thus, you should explore your options while considering the two-year deadline. A personal injury lawyer from Laborde Earles can explain your options so you can make the decision that works best for you.

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.

Your Skull Fracture Attorney in Marksville Works On a Contingency Fee Basis

Our firm believes that financial status should not prevent anyone from accessing competent legal representation. That’s why we offer free consultations to evaluate your case. It’s also why we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay us unless we win your case.

In addition, there are no upfront costs, and your lawyer will explain how our fee works, so there are no surprises.

A skull fracture injury can take a lot of time to heal. Any underlying brain injuries could forever affect your life. You deserve compensation to cover your current and future losses so you can regain a sense of normalcy and begin rebuilding.

What Is a Skull Fracture?

A skull fracture is a break in the skull bone that protects your brain tissue. Depending on the type of skull fracture you sustain, you could also suffer a potentially life-threatening brain injury:

  • Concussions
  • Contusion
  • Brain penetration
  • Hematoma

Your skull fracture requires immediate medical attention. It may not immediately be apparent that you suffered a head injury after an accident. However, symptoms you should look out for include the following:

  • Headache
  • Blurry vision
  • Noise sensitivity
  • Confusion
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Problems sleeping

Please seek medical attention after an accident—even if you are not experiencing any symptoms. Your health should come first; immediately treating your head injury can make a difference. Not only will you maintain your health, but you will also create a paper trail that might benefit your compensation claim later.
