Louisiana Car Accidents Attorneys

Lake Charles Car Accident Lawyers

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, every 10 seconds someone in the United States is involved in a car accident. Most crashes are avoidable, including car accidents that result from drunk driving, improper maintenance, defective auto equipment, speeding, or other forms of negligence.

Few of the millions of people who get hurt in car accidents find it easy to get reasonable and fair insurance settlements. You can increase your chances of recovering fair compensation with the help of experienced lawyers.

If a member of your family has suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI), quadriplegia, or another catastrophic injury in a serious car accident, or if you have lost a loved one in a fatal car accident, you cannot afford to accept less than maximum compensation for your loss. In order to ensure that you are being treated fairly, have a lawyer with experience in auto accident injury claims review your case.

The injury attorneys at Broussard & Hart, L.L.C., have handled many large and complex car accident and 18-wheeler truck accident claims. Contact our Lake Charles law office to arrange a free and confidential consultation with one of our lawyers.

Our attorneys enlist the help of top accident reconstructionists and scientific experts to identify all responsible parties.

• It may be that a design problem or defective automotive part contributed to your injuries.
• Negligent property maintenance at a railroad crossing could have contributed to your accident.
• We work with medical and life care experts to demonstrate the extent of losses of those injured in collisions or rollover accidents.
• We enlist the help of accountants and economists to calculate losses in wrongful death cases.
• We subpoena cell phone records to determine if the other driver was texting or talking on a cell phone during the accident. Louisiana prohibits all drivers from texting while driving. Louisiana also forbids minors and newly licensed drivers from using any type of mobile device while operating a motor vehicle.

We give each motor vehicle accident case we handle the thorough attention necessary to get the best results. Even if you were injured by a drunk driver or in a hit-and-run accident, we may be able to recover the compensation you need to take care of yourself and your family.

Uninsured and underinsured drivers

If you were hit by an uninsured motorist or underinsured motorist, you may be eligible for benefits under your own policy or the policy that covered the vehicle you were in. Louisiana law requires vehicle owners to carry uninsured motorist coverage unless they waive the coverage in writing. In many cases, you will be able to collect for your lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering and other damages in the same way as if the driver that hit you did have insurance.

Many insurance companies have special provisions if you choose to access the uninsured motorist provision of your policy. We ask that you provide us with a complete copy of the insurance policy you had at the time of the accident.
