Veron, Bice, Palermo & Wilson, LLC will determine if your injury was the result of negligence.
Accident is a misleading term. In almost all cases, an accident – and its resulting injuries – is caused by a person’s or company’s irresponsible actions. When you hire Veron, Bice, Palermo & Wilson, LLC, we will thoroughly investigate your case to determine the cause and who should be held liable for your resulting costs.
The first thing we will do is investigate your case and gather relevant evidence proving fault. Evidence is crucial in any personal injury case. It can effectively show how the accident happened, who was responsible, and the extent of the injuries you sustained.
All of our Lake Charles personal injury lawyers have only practiced law in Louisiana, and that has given us access to endless resources and extensive knowledge about state laws. Whether you suffered a brain injury or were the victim of medical malpractice, we will use our resources to gather the evidence we need, such as:
After securing sufficient evidence, we can file an insurance claim and submit what we found to prove that your injury wasn’t the result of a simple accident; it was due to another person’s negligence. We will work hard to recover the maximum settlement amount we believe is fair to cover your past and future losses.
WHAT ARE THEY?
OUR EXCELLENT QUALIFIED ATTORNEYS
When someone causes your injuries, and you want to file a lawsuit, you have to comply with the state’s statute of limitations. It is a strict deadline, and if you miss it, you could lose your right to sue the at-fault party for compensation. The statute of limitations for personal injury cases is one year. That means you have one year from the injury date to file suit. If you try to file after the deadline, the court will likely dismiss your case.
There are special circumstances under which you could toll, or delay, the statute of limitations:
Louisiana has adopted the pure comparative negligence doctrine in relation to personal injury cases. This means that if you partially contributed to your injuries, your total damages could be reduced by your percentage of shared fault. For example, let’s say you were in a car accident and incurred $100,000 in damages. If a jury determines the other driver was 75% to blame, but you were 25% to blame, you would only be entitled to a maximum of $75,000 in compensation.
Some states use a modified form of comparative negligence, which means you could be prohibited from pursuing monetary damages if you’re even 1% at fault for the incident. Others bar the collection of compensation if you’re more than 50% liable. However, Louisiana allows monetary damages even if you were 99% to blame.
Our Lake Charles personal injury lawyers will fight to protect your rights and future. We understand how overwhelming it is to navigate a personal injury case.
