What Does It Cost to Hire an Uninsured Motorist Accident Lawyer in New Iberia?

After a collision with an uninsured motorist, you have already been through enough. It may be difficult for you to come up with the costs you would otherwise need to hire an attorney.

However, when you choose our attorneys to take on your case, you can work with our team on a contingency-fee basis. We will never charge you any upfront costs or expect you to put money down. Instead, we will absorb the risk of taking on your case, and you will pay us back when we win. If we don’t win, you don’t pay.

Statute of Limitations for New Iberia Uninsured Motorist Accident Claims

You must get your uninsured motorist accident lawsuit filed before the statute of limitations expires.

The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Louisiana is strict. You will have just two years to get your claim filed before this deadline expires, per CC 3493.1. If your claim is not filed before the statute of limitations runs out, the Iberia Parish civil courts may bar you from pursuing your case.

Liability in Uninsured Motorist Accidents

When you’ve been injured in an accident with an uninsured motorist, it is easier to assume that the uninsured driver is responsible for causing your injuries. However, this may not always be the case. Our team will need to carefully investigate to determine how your accident occurred.

Just because a driver does not have sufficient auto insurance coverage does not necessarily mean they were operating their vehicle in an unsafe or negligent manner. For this reason, having your attorney investigate liability in your case may be beneficial if you hope to recover the compensation you deserve.
