How to Build a Successful Car Accident Claim

  • Making the decision to file a car accident claim can be challenging, especially when you are dealing with physical injuries. Heading to court when you’re still recuperating can seem overwhelming, but when you have an experienced car accident lawyer in Louisiana by your side, you will be able to focus on healing while we work to build your case.

    There are several components that make a car crash claim successful, but the most important factors include establishing liability, gathering supporting evidence, and determining how much your damages amount to. Below we go into further detail about the types of evidence that will support your case and the types of damages you’ll be able to seek.

     

    Gathering Evidence to Support Your Accident Case

    Your case can only proceed if your attorney is able to determine who is at fault for the cause of your accident. We typically begin by investigating the accident our clients have been involved in so we can establish who is responsible for causing you harm.

    We will obtain police reports, photographs, video footage, witness statements, medical documentation, safety inspection reports, and expert testimony, where applicable. This evidence will demonstrate to the courts that the defendant in question is, in fact, culpable for the damages you endured in the accident.

     

    The Value of Your Losses after an Auto Crash

    For you to get the most out of your auto accident claim, you will need to go over each way your life has been negatively impacted by your injuries. Having every single loss accounted for will help ensure that you achieve maximum repayment of your damages.

    Some of the most frequently sought damages include loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, medical bills, inconvenience, loss of consortium, lost wages, property damages, damage to your earning capacity, and loss of household services, among others.
