Our Amputation Lawyer in New Iberia, LA Can Recover Damages for You

An amputation injury not only impacts you physically, but it can also impact you financially and psychologically as well. Your New Iberia catastrophic injury lawyer can help you recover damages to make up for your accident-related losses. Economic damages have a monetary value and include:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost income and benefits
  • Childcare
  • Home services
  • Property damage
  • Physical therapy
  • Future medical bills
  • Future lost income

In addition, compensation can cover non-economic damages. These take your intangible losses into account. They include:

  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Mental anguish
  • Disability
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Reduced quality of life

You should not have to pay for the cost of an injury you did not cause. Compensation can cover your accident-related losses and help you financially adjust to your post-accident life. The total value of your case will depend on several factors, which our lawyer can explain when you work with our firm.

How Hiring an Amputation Attorney Can Benefit Your Case in New Iberia, LA

You understandably want compensation for your losses, and you likely want to bring the liable party to justice. We know how you feel, and we want to help you assign responsibility to the party at fault. Amputation is a catastrophic injury that will impact you for the rest of your life.

If the liable party’s insurance provider does not pay you a fair settlement, you may decide to pursue the compensation you deserve by filing a civil lawsuit. You don’t have to do this alone. Having a personal injury lawyer on your case provides you with an advocate who will protect your best interests and will guide you through every step as your case progresses.

The legal process can be frustrating if you don’t have experience. We know the ins and outs of the legal and insurance systems. There are also other benefits of hiring a lawyer from our firm to handle your case, including:

  • Investigating the accident: We will conduct a thorough investigation of the accident that left you with an amputation injury. We will also build your case for compensation by collecting evidence such as police reports, medical records, surveillance camera footage, photographs, witness accounts, and expert opinions.
  • Calculating your case’s value: We will calculate your case’s value so we can pursue the correct amount of compensation to cover your losses, and to determine if any settlement offers are fair or not.
  • Negotiating a settlement: We will negotiate with the insurance provider on your behalf and fight for the fair settlement you deserve. We will also make sure you understand the terms of the settlement before you agree to sign it.
  • Filing a lawsuit: We prepare every case for court, and we are not afraid to represent you at trial if necessary to secure compensation for you. Most cases settle out of court.

Our law firm has over 350 years of collective experience handling personal injury cases. We will fight for your rights, and we will provide you with regular updates on the status of your case. We can help after any accident that results in an amputation, including motorcycle collisions. Find out more with a New Iberia motorcycle accident attorney.

File Your Lawsuit in New Iberia Soon Before It’s Too Late

You should take time to consider your options after suffering an amputation injury in New Iberia. An attorney from our firm can help you understand the options you have for seeking justice. If you plan to pursue compensation through a lawsuit, do not wait to get started. The statute of limitations in your case is two years from the date of your injury according to CC 3493.1.

Once this deadline expires, you will not be able to file a lawsuit for compensation.
Our law firm understands the statute of limitations, and we will work to meet the deadline in your case so you retain your right to file a lawsuit.

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.
