What Do You Have to Prove in a Personal Injury Claim?

Different types of personal injury cases can require different kinds of proof, but you generally need to prove the following:

1. An individual or entity owed you a certain level of care.
2. They breached this duty of care.
3. Their breach of duty of care led to an injury and other harm.
4. You have suffered legally recognized damages because of that harm.

Different types of claims have different standards of care. Personal injury laws hold drivers on the road to a different standard than medical professionals.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Manage

Different injuries not only require different standards of care, but they can also need unique methods of investigation and different insurance claim processes. This is why it’s important to work with an attorney who has experience in the cause of your personal injury. At Gauthier Amedee, we have handled many types of personal injury cases, including:

• Motor vehicle accidents: In Walker, there were 222 suspected injuries from car accidents in 2024. I-12 is a common spot for serious accidents. At Gauthier Amedee, we have secured results as high as $4 million and $5 million for auto accidents. We can also manage specific types of vehicle collisions, like those involving commercial trucks, rideshare vehicles, motorcycles, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
• Medical malpractice: From 2021 to 2024, there were 902 medical malpractice payment reports made in Louisiana. These reports totaled more than $256 million. When a medical professional fails to provide care that meets the professional standard, Gauthier Amedee can represent you. Cases like birth injuries to infants and parents, surgical errors, nursing home abuse, and pharmacist errors can lead to these claims.
• Maritime accidents: These incidents can happen while recreationally boating or working in the maritime industry. In Louisiana, operator inattention caused about 550 recreational boating incidents in 2024.
• Workplace injuries: Hazardous worksites are especially likely to cause severe injuries, such as docks, offshore rigs, vessels, construction sites, mines, and logging sites. Most employees can recover partial compensation through workers’ compensation. Some employees have additional options for a civil claim, such as against a third party.
• Wrongful death: Sometimes, an individual who would have had grounds for a personal injury claim dies, either in the accident or later from their injuries. This is an unspeakable loss for families. Filing a wrongful death claim or a survival action cannot fix this loss, but it can hold a negligent party accountable and give a family some stability.

Gauthier Amedee also has experience with numerous other types of cases, like premises liability, dog bites, and defective product injuries.
