an alexandria injury lawyer can help Proving Fault

Proving liability in a personal injury claim in Louisiana requires a careful and methodical approach, supported by strong evidence. To establish a successful case, several key elements must be demonstrated.

Duty of Care: First, it is essential to show that the defendant owed a duty of care to the injured party. This duty can arise from various relationships, such as a driver’s duty to operate their vehicle safely or a property owner’s duty to maintain a safe environment for visitors.
Breach of Duty: Secondly, it must be proven that the defendant breached this duty of care. This involves showing that the defendant’s actions or inactions fell below the expected standard of conduct.
Causation: Next, a direct link must be established between the defendant’s breach of duty and the injuries suffered by the plaintiff. This causation element requires presenting evidence that the defendant’s actions directly caused or significantly contributed to the harm experienced.
Damages: Lastly, the plaintiff must demonstrate the damages resulting from the injuries. This includes physical, emotional, and financial losses, such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and diminished earning capacity.

To prove liability,

it is crucial to gather evidence such as witness testimonies, photographs, medical records, and expert opinions. Consulting with an Alexandria personal injury attorney who is familiar with Louisiana laws and court procedures is highly recommended to navigate the complexities of proving liability and build a strong case.

Damages Available in a Personal Injury Claim

What is your personal injury claim worth? It is a fair question to wonder, but it is not always easy to answer. Every claim is unique for many reasons, which is why the value of a claim is also unique.

Our Alexandria personal injury attorneys are committed to making certain that your claim’s value is as high as it can be. We know how to fairly assess your damages, including economic and non-economic damages, so we don’t risk leaving money behind unclaimed.

claim value can be decided by the following damages and more:

Medical treatment costs
Lost wages and lowered income capacity
Pain, suffering, and mental anguish
Permanent disabilities

Damages will need to consider everything you have already endured, of course. To be thorough, we also need to calculate how you will be impacted by your accident and injuries well into the future. For example, if you need physical therapy each month for several years after your injury, then the liable party should be the one that pays for all of those sessions.

What to Do After Suffering an Injury

After suffering an injury, taking certain steps can help protect your well-being and potential legal rights. Here are some important actions to consider:

Seek immediate medical attention:

Your health and well-being should be your top priority. Seek medical treatment promptly, even if your injuries appear minor. A medical professional can properly assess your condition, provide necessary treatment, and document your injuries, which can be crucial for your personal injury claim.
Report the incident:

If your injury occurred due to an accident or on someone else’s property, report the incident to the appropriate authority or person in charge. This creates an official record of the incident, which can be valuable evidence later.
Gather evidence:

Collect as much evidence as possible to support your claim. This includes taking photographs of the accident scene, your injuries, and any relevant property damage. If there were witnesses, try to obtain their contact information as well.

Consult with a personal injury attorney:

Contacting an experienced personal injury attorney is highly recommended. They can evaluate your case, provide legal guidance, and help protect your rights. An attorney can also handle communication with insurance companies and work towards obtaining fair compensation for your injuries.
Follow medical advice:

Adhere to the recommended medical treatment and attend follow-up appointments. This demonstrates your commitment to your recovery and strengthens your case by establishing a clear link between the injuries and the accident.

Adeline D.

Elizabeth Hancock and her paralegal Shelby Richards are the nicest people you could possibly work with. I’m young so I don’t understand anything in “legal” terms. They helped guide me and always explained everything in great detail. Without their help I couldn’t have possibly gotten the settlement I did. Amazing work!

Melinda O.

My husband and I were very pleased with the professionalism at Morris and Dewett. They keep you up-to-date on your case. The Doctors they recommended for me were incredible! Morgan is so great to work with. Always polite and cheerful.

Brenda Ane M.

I honestly never thought I would need an injury lawyer but when that 18 Wheeler t-boned me, I needed someone to fight for me. Morris & Dewett was my number one go to. Ms. Morgan Berryhill has been phenomenal at keeping me informed of the entire process and proceedings. Mr. Josh Powell is truly the best. He always had me as a priority. Josh made the time to meet with me, keep me informed, and always had my best interest in mind. Josh ensured I had the medical attention I required.Absolutely the best service and personal attention I could have asked for.Would recommend to everyone!
