When injuries are the result of negligent conduct or failure to take safety precautions, the injured party may be able to recover compensation from those who caused them harm. It does not matter whether someone intended to do you or your loved one harm— the very fact that their negligence caused your injuries may make them financially responsible for some portion of your losses in a personal injury case.

- Car or truck accidents

For a free consultation on your case with a member of our team, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today at (504) 777-7777. We take many cases on a contingency-fee-basis with no up-front payments required.
Preventable Injuries Are a Reality
Injuries can happen in all walks of your life, but when preventable injuries occur because of another party’s negligence, you may have justification to file a personal injury lawsuit against them.
The typical elements for a personal injury lawsuit include:
- That a person or organization owed you a duty of care
- That person or entity took negligent actions that violated their duty of care to you
- That this violation caused your accident and your injuries
A duty of care requires someone to act in a reasonably prudent manner, which may generally mean that they should take every measure possible to prevent causing you harm.
For example, a driver has a duty of care to obey traffic laws. A store owner has a duty of care to take certain safety measures on their premises, such as removing hazards that they are aware of.

Proving Liability in a Personal Injury Case
The circumstances of your case may determine the standard for liability that Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers uses as we pursue compensation on your behalf. For example:
- In a car accident case, we may try to establish liability by showing that a negligent driver violated a traffic law and caused your accident.
- In a premises liability case, we may attempt to show that a negligent store owner’s failure to remove a spill on the floor caused your slip and fall accident and injuries.
- In a medical malpractice case, we may recruit a medical expert to testify that the care you received fell below a reasonable medical standard and that another doctor in the same situation would have acted differently.
Keep in mind that, per Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §2323, accident victims may still be able to recover compensation for their damages if they were partially at fault for the accident. However, their payout may be reduced based on their percentage of fault. For example, if a judge determines that a plaintiff is 10% at fault for an accident and that their damages are worth $100,000, the plaintiff may have their payout reduced by 10% to $90,000.
In regard to this law, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can collect evidence of the full extent of the responsible party’s liability when we represent you.
