Saint Bernard Parish Car Accidents

Our team knows how to handle any type of auto accident case, including:

Car accidents
Truck accidents
Motorcycle accidents
DUI and DWI accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Uninsured/underinsured motorist accidents
Elderly driver accidents
And more

According to the LSU Highway Safety Research Group, 78 percent of car accident fatalities in the state in 2017 occurred because of one of four factors:

Drunk driving or driving while intoxicated
Distracted driving
Aggressive driving
Failure to wear a seatbelt

Many injury accidents had the same or related causes. We know how to collect evidence to support your claim in any of these accidents or accidents with more unusual causes. We will fight for the compensation you deserve based on the facts of your case. You may even be able to recover damages if you were partially at-fault for your own injuries. According to Louisiana Civil Code article 2323, Louisiana allows car accident victims to recover a payout as long as they were not 100 percent at fault in the accident. However, their recovery is reduced based on their level of fault. This system is known as pure comparative fault.

We May Be Able To Seek Damages in Your Saint Bernard Parish Car Accident Case

A Saint Bernard Parish car accident lawyer from our team may be able to help you navigate the insurance claims process and recover compensation for the losses you experienced as a result of your Saint Bernard Parish traffic accident. We will collect evidence to support your claim and demand a fair payout. Evidence in a car accident case should prove:

The other driver acted carelessly, recklessly, or otherwise negligently.
The other driver’s negligence caused your accident.
You sustained injuries, economic damages, and non-economic losses as a result of the accident.
We have strong documentation to show an estimated value of your accident-related expenses and losses.

The case we build should be enough to negotiate a fair settlement with the at-fault driver’s auto liability insurance provider. This case should allow us to recover the damages you deserve without taking your case to court. However, if the insurance company refuses to negotiate fairly, we will protect your right to file a lawsuit to pursue compensation.

There Are Strict Deadlines for Taking Legal Action in a Saint Bernard Parish Car Accident Case

While we can often try to recover damages for our clients without taking a case to trial, it is important that we ensure our clients maintain their right to take legal action in case it becomes necessary. This stance requires us to get to work on a case quickly following the accident. Reach out to our team as soon as your injuries stabilize or as soon as you are able, so we can get started building your case. Under Louisiana Civil Code Article 3492, car accident victims only have one year from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court. If they fail to file a lawsuit by the time this deadline arrives, they will lose the right to do so.
