Our Law Firm Can Do the Legal Work for You While You Recover

For many people, dealing with a legal case is more of a burden than an active pursuit they want to partake in, especially if they are healing from their injuries. If you are preoccupied with your physical recovery or dealing with other related issues, our team can handle your case for you so that you can focus on what needs your attention. The convenience in hiring a lawyer is that we can act as your representative and handle most, if not all, legal duties on your behalf and relay important information as it comes. When you become our client, some of the services you will benefit from include:

  • Case assessment: Our team will review your case to identify who can be held liable for your damages. We can also review whether we need to retrieve additional evidence or if other factors might affect the trajectory of your case.
  • Private investigation: As our client, we want you to have the information you need to build a comprehensive case file. That might require conducting a private investigation on our part to request evidence from third-party sources, get statements from witnesses, or discover new information not previously reported.
  • Legal paperwork: Our team can handle the necessary paperwork in your case. If your signature is needed, we will inform you.
  • Legal advice: Throughout your case, our team will be available to you to offer you guidance before you make any legal decision. We can advise you on how fair a settlement offer is, whether you should file a lawsuit, and if you should pursue action against multiple parties, among other concerns.
  • Legal representation: Of course, as your legal advocate, your lawyer will present your case in front of an insurance adjuster or a judge and jury, depending on whether you file a claim or lawsuit. With a legal representative, you may not have to attend settlement meetings or trial hearings.

Our Team Also Helps You Calculate How Much Compensation to Pursue

Another service that we will provide you with is damage calculation. To pursue compensation, we have to estimate how much your damages are worth and present this figure to the liable party.

If you file a claim, this figure can be negotiated, so we may anticipate this and strive for a figure that still covers your losses once the case gets settled. However, if you file a lawsuit, a judge may determine how much compensation you are entitled to (unless the liable party agrees to settle the case outside of court).

Calculating Damages

Our team can measure your case’s value by calculating your damages, which may include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disability or loss of bodily function
  • Medical expenses
  • Property damage
  • Current and future income loss
  • Reduced earning potential

Depending on what type of personal injury case you file, you may be able to claim other compensable damages not listed here. These terms can be broad, so if you’re not sure whether your financial and personal hardships are “enough” to file for compensation, reach out to our law firm for a free case review. Go ahead and dial to speak with a representative of Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers. They can assess your situation and determine which damages you may be able to claim in a personal injury case.

Your Personal Injury Lawsuit Has a Deadline You Have to Meet

If you decide to file a personal injury lawsuit in Louisiana, you must abide by the statute of limitations found in CC Art. 3492. This legal statute mandates that personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the date of injury; however, other factors might toll or shorten this deadline.

Wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years of the decedent’s death, per CC Art. 2315.2.

Our legal team can keep an eye on the deadline in your case so that if you decide to file a lawsuit, we can take action to file it on time.

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.

I am able to witness Karely Cornwell handle calls from people who are in need of Laborde Earles services. She is always polite and professional. I think it’s safe to assume that the majority of people who call in are stressed and to have someone who is calm and kind taking the call is a great representation of the company.
