Car Accidents
When you have been injured in a car accident, you need to focus on recovering from your injuries. Dealing with the other driver's insurance company can often be time consuming and very frustrating, especially when the insurance company refuses to accept fault, tell you how much insurance is available to compensate you for your serious injuries and damages, and to treat you fairly. Let us help you through your difficult time. The experienced Baton Rouge, Louisiana auto accident attorneys at Due', Price, Guidry, Piedrahita & Andrews will obtain the Crash Report, investigate the potential causes of the accident, ensure that you receive the necessary and appropriate medical care for your injuries, and present your claim to the insurance company.
Louisiana law applies pure comparative fault to auto accidents which means that every person causing or contributing to the car crash must pay for the damage he or she causes. So, even if you were partially at fault in causing your car wreck, you may still be entitled to monetary damages to compensate you for your injuries and damages if some other person or entity was also partially at fault.
The Baton Rouge, Louisiana car wreck lawyers at Due', Price, Guidry, Piedrahita & Andrews will evaluate every avenue of available recovery. If the at-fault driver was on-the-job or in the course and scope of employment, his/her employer may be liable for your injuries and damages. If the at-fault driver was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the driver may be liable for exemplary or punitive damages, in addition to general and special damages for your pain and suffering, mental anguish, medical expenses and lost wages. If you have medical payments coverage benefits, your auto insurance may cover some of your medical bills. If the other driver did not have auto insurance or has insufficient bodily injury insurance limits, your auto insurance may cover your losses if you purchased uninsured or underinsured (UM) coverage benefits. We will also evaluate other potential causes of your accident and injuries, including auto defects and defective roads or highways.
Our Baton Rouge, Louisiana car wreck attorneys have handled over one thousand auto accident injury cases and we understand what is necessary to get the at-fault driver's insurance company to fairly evaluate your claim for damages.
