What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Claim?

When you file a personal injury claim, you will be able to seek compensation for your damages. The money you receive in a personal injury claim must reasonably compensate you for your harms and losses. That means getting you back to the same position the averagely prudent person would have been if the accident had not happened.

In Louisiana, you may be able to recover damages for the following losses:

• Medical care
• Loss of wages/salary
• Reduced capacity to earn money
• Pain and suffering
• Inconvenience
• Mental distress/emotional anguish
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of enjoyment of life

In certain cases, such as when the actions of the at-fault individual were particularly intentional or egregious, you may also be able to claim punitive damages. These damages are not awarded to compensate you for your losses, but rather to punish the at-fault party for his or her wrongful or negligent actions.

How Soon After My Accident Do I Need to File a Personal Injury Claim?

In accordance with the Louisiana statute of limitations, you generally have one year from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim. If you fail to submit your claim before this strict deadline, you may be barred from recovering compensation; however, you still should consult with a personal injury attorney to find out what your rights are if you are past the deadline.

Modified Comparative Fault in Mansfield

When recovering compensation for a personal injury, the degree to which you are liable for the underlying accident will play a large role. If you are only partially at fault, you may still be able to pursue compensation. Mansfield is located in the state of Louisiana which has a modified comparative fault rule. Under this rule, as long as you are 50% or less responsible for the accident, then you can still seek compensation. If the jury finds that you are somewhat (or even largely) at fault, then your total potential damage award may be reduced. The calculation used to analyze fault is different depending on the circumstances, especially if you were driving a vehicle. This is where our lawyers can help you. We can help you build the best possible case, presenting you as the least at fault and we concentrate on putting you in the best position to recover the maximum possible financial recovery.

You Do Not Pay Us Unless We Win

The last thing you want to deal with is more bills and expenses. Hiring a lawyer should help you recover compensation and not add to your financial burdens. That is why the attorneys at the Joseph A. Gregorio, A Professional Law Firm. We provide free case evaluations and handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. Employing a contingency fee means that your attorney will not charge you any upfront fees or costs, and he or she will only be compensated if your claim is successful. In essence, you only pay your lawyer if you win your case.

If you were severely injured and have been unable to return to work, you should know that you can still afford competent legal Ccounsel. We can represent you in court, ensuring that you get the money you need and deserve and continue to meet your obligations.

However, if you and the defendant are found partially responsible, then you will only be able to recover what you are not liable for. As an example, say your damages were worth $100,000 and the jury finds that you were 25% at fault, then other liable parties will only be liable to pay 75% of the case damages. Only an attorney would be able to make this case to a jury of your peers.
