Do I have a personal injury case?
You have been involved in a crash and have countless questions. You are not certain where to begin and what are the right words to use. Don’t worry, you have a friend on this journey, me. What are some of the most common questions? Here is a list of just a few common questions I hear:
- What kind of attorney and I looking for? Is it an “accident attorney,” “car accident attorneys,” “car accident lawyer,” “car crash lawyer,” or “personal injury attorney.”
- My car has been damaged, how do I get it fixed and what do I do for a car while mine is being repaired?
- I am injured and not sure where to go or what to do?
These are just three of the most common questions that I am asked by friends and potential clients. But questions range from medical treatment to vehicle repair, to lost wages. Then “who will pay for all of this?!”
But before we can answer many of these questions, we first need to look at several items.
- Louisiana law provides that all drivers owe themselves and all others a certain duty of car, to drive safely, responsibly, and to avoid harming others. In your situation, is there a law that protects you?
- Did the other driver breach that duty? Basically, did the other driver break the law and hit you? An example of this would be, you had a green light and the other driver had a red light, but ran the red light and crashed into you.
- Because they broke their duty owed to you, did you suffer harm?
- Do you have any damages like medical bills, lost wages, physical pain, etc.?
- What evidence and witnesses do you have to support your case?
A police crash report generally has most of the initial information needed. Once we have this information, more questions will need to be answered. Each case has many of the same questions, but the answers in each case can be different. Understanding the types of insurance coverage the other driver may have, what coverage you have and that may be available to help. Making sure you are getting the medical evaluation and treatment you need and that you understand your options is critical to maximizing your recovery.
If you have been injured and have questions, call us now. Don’t delay. The sooner you can understand your rights, how the process works, what you need to do and meet with us, the better your experience and end result will be.
