How do I know if I have been offered a fair settlement for my injuries?

If you have been injured in a Louisiana car accident and incur medical bills, property damages and lost income, you may find that you need to pursue compensation from an insurance company. If that is the case, you need to know whether you’ve been offered a fair settlement. There is no easy answer to this question, as the unique circumstances of your accident and damages will impact the value of your claim. The best way to make sure you receive a fair settlement is to hire an experienced Louisiana personal injury attorney to help you navigate these complicated legal waters. A Baton Rouge personal injury attorney at J. Price McNamara ERISA Insurance Claim Attorney will assist you with the following elements of a Louisiana personal injury lawsuit:

  • The financial loss. How much have you lost in income or potential income as a result of your injuries? How much will you have to pay to repair your car? Did you suffer other property damage? How much are your medical bills?
  • The extent of the injury. What are the long-term implications of your accident in terms of medical costs and therapy? Do you have to purchase medical supplies, such as a walker or a wheelchair?
  • The emotional impact. How severe is the mental trauma that came to be as a result of your accident? Have you had to seek counseling?
A skilled personal injury attorney will make sure your settlement is fair and adequately addresses your economic and non-economic losses following a serious accident. If the settlement is too low or just unfair, you may need to file a Louisiana personal injury claim. Contact the Louisiana personal injury attorneys at J.

Losing my own brother, then my father and sister after long, disabling illnesses just a few months apart drove a career change for me. Before that experience, I never truly understood the place you’re in. I never understood the dramatic impact that receiving (or not receiving) the disability and life insurance benefits you paid for and counted on can have on your life especially when you need to focus on family and healing. What I experienced with my own family now drives the way I view my clients and my work, and I will never forget it!
