Why Can’t I Just File A Claim Myself?
Many car accident injury victims think they can negotiate with the insurance company themselves to save money and receive compensation faster. However, this is rarely the case.
Insurance companies are in business to make a profit and try hard to deny or devalue your claim so they pay you as little as possible. You need an experienced car accident injury attorney who knows the tactics of insurance companies, knows how to effectively combat those tactics, and holds the insurance company responsible for paying the full value of your claim.
Most experienced car accident injury attorneys are excellent negotiators who can quickly negotiate a fair settlement for your claim.
If you don’t know the true value of your claim, you don’t know what a fair settlement offer is. An experienced car accident injury attorney will consider all your current and future damages. They may consult with medical experts, mental health professionals, and economists to help accurately value your claim. Don’t accept less than the full value of your claim.
Litigation done right is expensive, but most car accident injury attorneys will handle your case on a contingency basis, so you don’t pay until you receive compensation.
How Much Can I Recover For My Car Accident Injuries?
The value of your claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and the length of your recovery period. Once our attorneys have completed an evaluation of all your current and future damages, we can give you an estimate of the value of your case.
In a successful Plaquemine car accident injury case, you may be able to recover economic and non-economic damages such as:
- Current and future medical expenses.
- Current and future lost wages.
- Property damage.
- Other necessary expenses incurred because of your injuries.
- Pain and suffering.
- Mental and emotional anguish.
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Other intangible damages
In rare cases, you may also be able to recover punitive damages. In Louisiana, punitive damages are only available if expressly provided by statute. In a car accident injury case, if the intoxication of another driver caused your injuries, you may be able to recover punitive damages as well as economic and non-economic damages.
Our attorneys work hard to recover maximum compensation for you.
What is My Filing Deadline?
A statute of limitations sets the deadline for filing a claim to recover compensation for your injuries.
Louisiana Civil Code Article 3493.1 provides the statute of limitations for filing a car accident injury case. It states that the deadline is two years if the accident occurred on or after July 1, 2024, and one year if it happened before July 1, 2024.
The new deadline is for most personal injury claims. However, if you lost a loved one in a car accident, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim and possibly a survival claim. Both wrongful death actions and survival actions have a deadline of only one year from the date of death.
There are exceptions to the statute of limitations. You may have longer to file if the statute of limitations is paused. However, you may have much less time to file in other situations.
You must consult an experienced car accident injury attorney as soon as possible to determine your filing deadline.
