How Do I Know Whether I Have a Case?
Our experienced attorneys have been handling car accident cases for over twenty years and know what to look for to determine whether an injury victim has a good case. When you schedule a free consultation, we will advise you whether we think your case is strong.
To be successful in a Lake Charles car accident claim, you need to prove several essential elements.
First, you must prove that the defendant owed you a duty of care.
You must then prove that the defendant breached their duty of care by their negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct and that their conduct caused your injuries.
Finally, you will need to prove that you suffered actual damages because of the defendant’s actions when they breached their duty of care to you.
Proving each element requires solid evidence. If we take your case, our car accident attorneys in Lake Charles will gather the evidence to prove each element and help you recover the damages you are entitled to.
Types of Damages in a Lake Charles Car Accident Case
In Louisiana personal injury cases, you may be able to recover economic damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, property damages, and other necessary expenses caused by your car accident.
You may also be able to recover non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, or compensation for life-altering injuries like traumatic brain injuries, which often result in long-term medical needs and emotional challenges. These damages are often more devastating than economic damages.
In rare cases, you may be able to recover punitive damages. This type of damage aims to punish the wrongdoer and deter future similar behavior. If the intoxication of a driver caused your injuries, you may be able to recover punitive damages.
