Louisiana Car Accident Lawyers Will Take the Burdens Off You After a Serious Injury

Being involved in a car accident is a difficult experience, particularly when it is the result of another person’s carelessness. In the aftermath of a car accident, when you are considering your injuries, medical bills, property damage, dealing with insurance companies and trying to figure out what damages can be recovered, it can all become even more traumatic.

The Louisiana car accident lawyers of Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards LLC will take those burdens off you after a car accident has been caused by someone else’s negligence. We make your fight our fight. Every accident is different, so no two cases are the same. We care about our communities and want people to understand the legal process.

Our experienced attorneys have been helping people in communities across Louisiana for over six decades.

People who have been involved in a car accident often immediately think about insurance. You don’t want to end up in a circumstance where an insurance company reduces or denies your claim due to a statement you have made. It’s an easy mistake to make. Many individuals who have been in an accident don’t understand what they deserve because they haven’t been in an accident before.

Being familiar with the process will help you avoid these mistakes.    

Reasons to Hire A Personal Injury Lawyer After a Serious Accident

Hiring a Louisiana personal injury lawyer gives you a professional handling all the paperwork and insurance information for you, and you can focus on recovering from your injuries.

The other driver could argue that they weren’t negligent or the accident was your fault. You need an advocate on your side if you are wrongly accused. We are with you for whatever happens.  

Our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay anything unless we win.

Experienced Louisiana car accident lawyers have the knowledge and background to secure a larger settlement for you. The best way to get a fair settlement is to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer.

We understand how insurance companies operate. Our lawyers understand the settlement claims process, and we know what evidence must be presented to make the best case for your claim. We will make sure the correct financial value is placed on your accident where you receive the compensation you truly deserve.

This is crucial, and often without an attorney, you could be taken advantage of by insurance adjusters. Insurance companies have teams of experts who are trained in minimizing claims and protecting their company’s bottom line. 

Personal Injury Law Protects Others From Negligent Acts

Personal injury law is designed to protect individuals against harmfully negligent acts of other individuals, or organizations. In a car accident, you may need a lawyer to hold the other driver and their insurance provider accountable for the compensation you deserve.

A settlement is an out-of-court agreement between parties to drop a pending lawsuit in exchange for payment of damages. There are several factors to consider when reaching a settlement with an insurance company. Particularly when considering the cost of treatment to improve your health if you have been injured and any long-term needs that may arise from the accident.

If you file a claim with the insurance company and your claim is denied or you do not accept the settlement offer that the insurance company makes, you can file a lawsuit against the other driver. All of these factors can enter a discussion following an accident, and it’s important to have the help of a Louisiana car accident lawyer.

Louisiana Law and Negligence

Louisiana is what is known as a “pure comparative negligence” state. That means that whoever is to blame for the accident is responsible for paying the damages.

If both parties share fault in an accident, each party is responsible for damages according to the percentage they are determined to be at fault. For example, if a jury finds you are 30 percent to blame for an accident, and the other party is 70 percent to blame, then the amount you will receive in damages is reduced by 30 percent.

If the damages from an accident are only to property – such as damage to your vehicle in a car accident – the case can be less complicated. If you have suffered injuries in the accident, then designating the value of the claim becomes a more significant negotiation.

In addition to medical expenses, damages in a car accident case with personal injuries can include loss of wages, as well as pain and suffering.  

If you aren’t sure if you have a case, contact the Louisiana Car Accident Lawyers of Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards. If you’ve been in an accident that wasn’t your fault and you have injuries and property damage as a result, we recognize the bills will be adding up each day.
