Personal injury law, sometimes referred to as tort law, allows people who were injured due to another party’s negligence to demand compensation for the losses they suffered. An individual can often go about this by either filing an insurance claim or bringing a personal injury lawsuit forward.

Our Legal Team Can Estimate the Value of Your Case
All personal injury cases have a unique value attached to them. Many variables help determine how much compensation an individual qualifies to collect for their injuries. These include:
- The length and type of medical treatment the individual needs
- The individual’s employment
- The individual’s personal relationships and familial role
- The individual’s debts before and after the accident
Your legal team will work with you to determine the overall effect of your injuries on your life, dividing your losses into two categories: economic and non-economic losses.
Economic Losses
Economic losses are strictly financial expenses related to the accident. These losses can refer to money you had to spend to address accident-related injuries, but they can also refer to debts and potential losses. Economic damages can involve:
- Medical care costs
- Wages you lost due to your injuries
- Wages you will lose in the future because of your injuries
- Property damage values
- Services you would not have had to pay for if you were not injured, such as housekeeping or assisted living services
Non-Economic Losses
Non-economic losses are more general, so they do not have a financial value attached to them immediately. These losses refer to the emotional, physical, and mental injuries you incurred from the accident and can involve:
- Pain and suffering
- Diminished quality of life
- Permanent disability
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
Be Honest About ALL Your Damages
As you work with a Marrero personal injury lawyer from our firm, our team will ask about the aftereffects of your accident to assess the extent of your damages. We also encourage you to notify your lawyer about new updates in your personal situation, whether that means needing new medical treatment or facing other hardships in your life.
When calculating your damages, we want to be as accurate as possible and factor in every future expense you might have to face. In doing so, we aim to prevent you from accepting a settlement or receiving an award that does not meet your financial needs, putting you at a disadvantage later.
Start the damage calculation process today by calling Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (504) 777-7777. Take advantage of our free consultation and provide us with as much information as you can. We want to help you get the compensation you need.

Wrongful Death
In the event that the injured party passes away from their injuries, qualifying family members may file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit on behalf of their loved one (per CC Art. 2315.2).
Wrongful death cases act similarly to personal injury cases, but they may also feature losses that the decedent’s family experienced because of the death. This means other compensable damages may be available, such as funeral costs. If you would like more information about wrongful death cases, feel free to call us at the number down below.
