Compensation You Could Be Entitled To

After an accident, many are left wondering how they’ll cover medical bills, replace their lost income, and manage the unexpected costs that follow an injury. In Louisiana, victims of negligence have the right to pursue compensation for both financial losses and the personal toll an accident takes on their lives. This means you could be entitled to recover:

Medical expenses for emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future treatment.
Lost wages if your injuries prevent you from working, as well as diminished earning capacity if you can’t return to your previous job.
Property damage for repairs or the replacement of vehicles and personal belongings.
Pain and suffering acknowledges the physical discomfort and emotional distress caused by the accident.
Loss of enjoyment of life when injuries prevent you from doing activities you once loved.
Wrongful death damages for families who lost a loved one because of someone else’s negligence, including funeral costs and the loss of financial support.

At Dué Guidry Andrews Courrege, we can evaluate your situation, calculate the full scope of your losses, and fight to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.

FAQs

Q: Can Social Media Posts Impact My Personal Injury Claim?

A: Social media posts can impact your personal injury claim. Insurance companies and defense attorneys often review your online presence, and a single post, photo, or comment that seems to contradict your injuries or losses can weaken your case. Even innocent updates, such as a family event, could be misinterpreted. We advise clients to avoid discussing their accidents online and to limit personal posts until their claim is resolved.

Q: How Does Hiring a Lawyer Affect How Quickly My Case Is Resolved?

A: An experienced attorney streamlines the process by handling negotiations, ensuring paperwork is filed correctly, and meeting all deadlines. While no lawyer can guarantee speed, having professional guidance helps avoid common delays and strategic errors that can slow your claim. By anticipating potential disputes and proactively addressing them, our team can keep your case moving forward while you focus on recovery.

Q: How Do Pre-Existing Medical Conditions Affect a Personal Injury Claim?

A: A pre-existing condition doesn’t prevent you from recovering compensation. If an accident worsens or aggravates a prior injury, you’re still entitled to damages for the additional harm caused. The key is proving how your condition changed after the accident. We work with medical professionals to determine if there is a clear link between your injuries and the defendant’s negligence.

Q: Can I Recover Damages if I’m Partially at Fault?

A: You may be able to recover damages if you’re partially at fault. Under Louisiana’s modified comparative fault rule, you could be assigned a percentage of fault, and your compensation can then be reduced by that percentage. If your percentage of fault is 51% or greater you cannot recover anything. Our Baton Rouge personal injury attorneys can help make sure that your percentage of fault isn’t overstated by insurance companies or opposing counsel so that we can maximize your compensation.
