Ruston Car Accident Injury Attorneys

A car accident can lead to extreme injuries for any motorist or passengers involved. However, if another person’s negligence caused the collision, a successful personal injury case can lead to monetary damages for anyone injured as a result.

Every case is different, and each deserves the careful attention of a skilled injury attorney. A well-versed Ruston car accident lawyer can provide a personalized analysis of your case and fight on your behalf for the compensation you deserve.

Our founding partner Stephen Babcock grew up here and graduated from Ruston High School and Louisiana Tech. He knows the city like the back of his hand, and he’s on standby to help you with your case.

Common Injuries that Result from Automobile Accidents

Cars are capable of high speeds and weigh thousands of pounds. As a result, their velocity and weight make them dangerous. Injuries from a car crash can lead to long-term hospitalization, high medical bills, and time lost at work or school. Other injuries might be permanent or result in a person’s death.

Injuries that can occur following a car accident include, but are not limited to:

  • Burns and skin damage
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Whiplash and spinal cord damage
  • Traumatic brain injury and paralysis
  • Organ damage

The high costs associated with these types of injuries can cause great harm above and beyond the physical damage. You might experience significant emotional suffering and stress as well as various financial burdens. If so, it may be in your best interest to contact an attorney familiar with car wreck claims in Ruston.

Financial Compensation in a Car Crash Case

If another driver caused the accident, and you were injured by their negligence, monetary damages may be available to help you recover. These damages can help compensate for both your economic losses and your non-economic damages.

You may be able to seek compensation for the following:

  • Medical damages, both past, and future
  • Property damage
  • Costs of rehabilitation
  • Lost income and earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium
  • Wrongful death

As every case is different, the types and amounts of damages differ depending on the circumstances. However, a consultation with a competent attorney can help reveal the specific damages available in your particular case.

Proving a Car Collision Case in Ruston

Your local attorney can investigate the case to prove the car accident was the defendant’s fault. If available, they usually look at expert reports, officer narratives, reconstructions, and video recordings. They might also speak with witnesses to help determine the cause of the accident. A skilled personal injury lawyer can examine medical bills as well to calculate the extent of your damages.

Time Limits for Compensation

Car wreck cases fall under personal injury in most circumstances. Personal injury lawsuits in Louisiana have a one-year deadline for filing, as per  Louisiana Civil Code § 3492. If you don’t file your claim in that timeframe, your case will likely be dismissed. This means the case won’t be considered on the merits, even if it would otherwise result in financial restitution.

To avoid losing the potential for compensation in your Ruston claim, consult an attorney soon after your car crash. Cases take time to prepare and file, so every day counts.

Speak with a Ruston Car Accident Attorney Right Away

Working with a legal professional may help you recover financial compensation through a successful injury lawsuit. With the proper proof of causation and damages, you might be able to collect monetary damages that help you, and your loved ones recover.

An experienced Ruston car accident lawyer is prepared to help. Contact our firm today to get started.
