Have You Been Injured?

What Types of Damages Can You Recover?

Under Louisiana law, you may claim a variety of damages from a person or entity whose careless, or negligent, conduct has harmed you. You may be entitled to reimbursement for:

• Pain and suffering;
• Medical costs, both current and future;
• Rehabilitation;
• Damaged property costs;
• Loss of wages, both past and future;
• Loss of earning capacity (if applicable);
• Mental distress;
• Punitive damages (in limited circumstances); and
• Any other applicable damages.

In addition, family members such as a spouse, siblings, children, or parents of the injured party may be able to recover for loss of consortium if the injury has deprived them of the companionship, affection, and assistance of that individual.

But to Get the Compensation You Deserve, You Need a Dedicated and Forceful Advocate

That is why we recommend you contact a Louisiana lawyer as soon as possible after the injury occurs, and before you talk to any insurance companies. You need an experienced advocate on your side who is invested in the outcome of your case.
