What Compensation am I Entitled to Recover?

Suffering an injury in an accident can lead to a lot of different expenses. If it can be proven that someone else’s careless actions caused the accident, you’re entitled to compensation for all the expenses related to the accident. These may include:

• Medical bills for hospitalization, medication, and physical therapy
• Lost income for medical treatment or lost future wages from disability
• The costs of living with a temporary disability or permanent disability
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Funeral expenses in the case of wrongful death

Whatever you lost from the time you were injured until the time you’ve healed, we’re here to help you recover. We’ll fight for your rights and help you seek the maximum amount of compensation possible for your losses.

How Can a Lawyer Help?

If you’re planning to file a claim for your personal injury on your own, you can be at a disadvantage. You will not only have to gather all the evidence and negotiate with the insurance company for yourself, but you will also be trying to get your medical treatment and recover at the same time. Our lawyers can take on the hassle for you by fielding insurance calls, gathering evidence, building a strong case, and negotiating a settlement on your behalf. If you need to go to court, we can file all the paperwork and represent you before the judge and jury.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I Miss the Deadline for the Statute of Limitations?

The statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit is one year after the injury. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to file a lawsuit for compensation. If you think you may have already surpassed the statute of limitations, give our experienced attorneys a call for a free case review. We’ll help you determine your next best steps.

Are There Any Exceptions to the Statute of Limitations?

In some cases, the statute of limitations is “paused” due to extenuating circumstances. These may include accident injuries that involve a minor or an accident that resulted from a defective product, as this may be more difficult to identify the initial cause. Contact our attorneys to learn more in a free case review.

Are There Any Damage Caps on Personal Injury?

In personal injury cases, the damages are the dollar amount you receive for medical expenses and other losses. In Louisiana, the amounts you’re eligible to receive have “caps” or limits. Louisiana caps damages for medical malpractice at $500,000, for example. When you sit down with your attorney to discuss your case, they will lay out all of your options so you have a clear idea of what you’re signing up for.

What Is Strict Liability?

In Louisiana, strict liability refers to the damages caused by persons or animals for whom we are answerable. This is most commonly associated with dog bite cases. In most states, dog owners are protected from responsibility the first time their dog bites or attacks someone. In Louisiana, owners are strictly liable for a dog bite or attack, regardless of the animal’s past behavior.

What Is Negligence?

Negligence is the failure to use a reasonable amount of care that leads to someone else’s injury. A personal injury claim requires proving that the at-fault party was careless and that this led to the accident and your injuries. You also need to prove that the injuries resulted in medical expenses or loss of wages.
