Forms of Compensation in a Personal Injury Case

When another person’s negligence causes you to suffer an injury, you are entitled to pursue compensation through a personal injury claim or lawsuit. The Pineville personal injury lawyers at Laborde Earles work to claim the financial recovery our clients need. We can help you seek damages in various types of accidents. Our Pineville legal team includes:

  • Car accident lawyers
  • Motorcycle accident lawyers
  • Truck accident lawyers
  • Bicycle accident lawyers
  • Pedestrian accident lawyers
  • Catastrophic injury lawyers
  • Medical malpractice lawyers

While no amount of money can undo the pain and trauma you’ve endured, a fair financial settlement or award can provide a sense of justice and accountability. It can also ensure you have access to the resources and long-term care required for rebuilding your life after a serious injury. Some forms of compensation our Pineville injury attorneys can fight to recover for you include:

Medical Expenses

You may be entitled to compensation for all injury-related healthcare costs, including:

  • Emergency fees
  • Hospital stays
  • Surgery
  • Medications
  • Medical equipment
  • Rehabilitation and therapy

Our attorneys can also consult with your doctors to determine how your injuries will continue to affect your health. This will help us assign a value to future medical expenses.

Lost Wages and Diminished Earning Capacity

We can help you pursue the income you’ve already lost from missing work due to your injuries. In addition to lost income, you can seek compensation for diminished earning capacity. Our Pineville lawyers can seek recovery for the difference between your pre-injury income and what you can now earn.

Property Damage

If your injuries occurred due to a car accident or another incident involving property damage, you can seek compensation for repair costs or replacement of the damaged property. For example, a Pineville car accident lawyer from our firm can help you seek compensation for vehicle repairs and replacement.

Pain and Suffering

Non-economic damages provide compensation for the physical and emotional trauma of an injury. Our legal team can also pursue awards for loss of enjoyment of life, scarring/disfigurement, and other non-financial losses.

Wrongful Death Damages

If your loved one suffered fatal injuries due to negligence, you can pursue compensation for costs like funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of household services, and loss of companionship. Our Pineville wrongful death lawyers provide compassionate legal care so that families can focus on grieving and honoring their loved ones.

We can conduct a thorough investigation and calculate both economic and non-economic damages with careful attention to detail. The Pineville personal injury attorneys at Laborde Earles can make sure no potential source of recovery is overlooked and explain how much your personal injury case is worth. Call us now to start your free consultation.

Our Pineville Injury Attorneys Can Help You Comply With Louisiana’s Statute of Limitations

If you or a loved one was injured due to negligence in the Pineville area, don’t wait to take legal action. Louisiana sets a particularly short statute of limitations. CC Art. 3492 generally only allows victims two years from the time of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is a very limited time during which an attorney must gather evidence and negotiate with a liable party.

Filing a lawsuit doesn’t necessarily mean your case will have to go to trial. Still, you want to have the option to seek fair compensation if it comes to that. Missing this legal deadline can cost you any legal recourse you have against a liable party. The sooner you have a Pineville injury lawyer from Laborde Earles by your side, the better we can protect your rights and interests every step of the way.

Our Contingency Fee Allows Us to Get Started on Your Personal Injury Case Right Away

We can get started on your case immediately since we do not charge upfront fees. Under this arrangement, we simply take a percentage of any settlement or verdict we secure for you.

You can access legal representation without risking any further financial loss. You can also trust that we will be dedicated to winning your case and securing maximum compensation.
