Types of Ville Platte Personal Injury Cases
At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we help clients recover damages for any type of injury that resulted from someone else’s negligence, incompetence, or wrongdoing. It does not matter how you were hurt, just that someone else was partly or fully at fault.
We can often identify responsible parties that our clients had not even considered. So even if you are not sure that your injury was someone else’s fault, it could be worth your time to talk to us and let us evaluate your case. You may be surprised at what we discover.
Our personal injury practice areas in Ville Platte are:
Truck Accidents
If you were in a motor vehicle accident involving an 18-wheeler on Louisiana Highway 29 or any other Ville Platte roadways, you may be eligible for compensation from the truck driver, the trucking company, the manufacturer of the truck, and/or other responsible parties. We can help you pursue compensation from all these parties and their insurers.
Maritime Accidents
If your injury occurred on the water, we may be able to pursue a personal injury claim against the owner or driver of the boat that hit you, the marina owner or manager, and/or other involved parties.
Car Accidents
Evangeline Parish has already seen 164 injury crashes with a total of 255 people injured in 2021, according to the Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development. We can fight for your right to compensation for the injuries you suffered in a car accident, no matter how it happened. Even if you believe (or were told) that you were partly at fault for the accident, we may still be able to help you recover damages.
Product Liability
Were you hurt by a damaged or defective product, such as an appliance, power tool, or electronic device? We may be able to pursue the manufacturer for compensation.
Dog Bite
If you were injured by a dog bite in Ville Platte, we may be able to help you hold the owner liable for your damages, even if they were not aware of their dog’s aggressive tendencies.
Dangerous Drugs
We may be able to recover compensation from several liable parties in the event of an illness or injury caused by ingesting a dangerous prescription drug. These parties may include your doctor, your pharmacist, and the drug manufacturer.
Defective Devices
Were you injured by a defective medical device, such as a pacemaker or prosthetic limb? We may be able to take action against any number of parties responsible for your injury, including the doctor who recommended the device and the company that manufactured it.
Mass Torts
If you are eligible to participate in a mass tort action – also known as a class-action lawsuit – we can help you make the most of it and receive the compensation you deserve.
Premises Liability
Did you get hurt on someone else’s property, whether it was residential, commercial, industrial, or municipal? We can help you fight for compensation from the owner or manager of the property where you were injured.
Slip and Fall
A slip and fall injury is often the responsibility of the owner or manager of the property where it occurred. Liability may also fall on the person or persons responsible for creating the hazardous situation that led to your slip and fall. We will investigate your case to determine who was liable for your accident and fight to hold them financially liable.
Wrongful Death
As mentioned earlier, if your loved one lost their life because of a negligent or wrongful act by another party, we may be able to help you recover a number of damages associated with their loss. These damages may include funeral costs, burial expenses, loss of the decedent’s future income, and loss of love, guidance, and companionship.
Our Ville Platte personal injury attorneys are ready to get to work for you today, and we never charge a fee unless you recover compensation.

Be Aware of the Statute of Limitations
Per CC Art. 3492, there is a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits in the state of Louisiana – one of the shortest deadlines in the nation. If you fail to take action in time, you may lose the right to recover compensation. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can prevent that from happening by filing a quick lawsuit to get your case on the books before the statute expires.
The statute of limitations for wrongful death in Louisiana is also two years, per CC Art. 2315.2. The sooner you reach out to our firm, the sooner we can begin gathering evidence and building your case.
