Car Accidents

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car accident, you need to focus on recovering from the devastating affects of the injuries. Dealing with the at fault driver's insurance company can be time consuming and very frustrating, especially when the insurance company refuses to accept responsibility for its insured's fault, refuses to tell you how much insurance is available to compensate you for your serious injuries and damages, and fails to treat you fairly.  Let our injury lawyers help you through this difficult time. The experienced Baton Rouge, Louisiana car accident attorneys at Due', Price, Guidry, Piedrahita & Andrews will obtain the Uniform Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Report, investigate the potential causes of the auto accident, work with you to make sure that you receive the necessary and appropriate medical care for your injuries, and will present your claim to the insurance company for evaluation and handling.  If the insurance company still refuses to treat you fairly, our Louisiana trial lawyers will not hesitate to file a lawsuit and aggressively pursue the just compensation that the law provides and, more importantly, that you deserve.

Louisiana law applies pure comparative fault to car accidents which means that every person causing or contributing to the wreck must pay for the damage he or she causes.  So, even if you were partially at fault in causing the accident, 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, loss of enjoyment of life, 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 accident 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. And, if the insurance company refuses to adjust your claim for damages in good-faith, our experienced trial attorneys will not hesitate to take your case to trial.
