Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer
You might decide not to hire an attorney after suffering an injury. The thought of legal fees can be overwhelming, so you might attempt to handle your personal injury case yourself. You might think the process is easy to take on alone. However, you could face roadblocks and challenges you don’t know how to overcome. If you don’t have the tools to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company, you will likely end up with less money than you deserve or a denied claim.
Lawsuits are complicated as well. They require obtaining sufficient evidence, completing paperwork, filing documents by strict deadlines, and fighting experienced and aggressive defense attorneys that insurance companies often hire to represent them. Most accident victims don’t know their rights or how to navigate complex legal proceedings. Without a skilled personal injury lawyer by your side, you could walk away with nothing.
At The Townsley Law Firm, our Lake Charles personal injury lawyers are ready to take over your case, so the legal responsibility does not burden you. We can review available insurance policies to determine the coverage and file the claim on your behalf. We know how to communicate with insurance companies and aggressively seek the maximum settlement possible to compensate for the losses you suffered. If the insurance carrier refuses to settle for a fair amount, we can proceed with a lawsuit.
We understand the importance of staying up to date on the status of your case. You will receive ongoing communication from start to finish of the process. We can answer your questions and address your concerns, so you understand the strategy we’re using to try to reach your desired outcome. Our legal team will provide the support and guidance you need during this difficult time in your life.
Award-Winning Representation,
Life-Changing Settlements
The Townsley Law Firm has experience handling a range of personal injury cases for clients in Lake Charles, such as:
If you were involved in any of the incidents above, you should immediately reach out to The Townsley Law Firm to determine whether you have a case to pursue. We can meet with you for a free consultation to review the circumstances of your injury or loved one’s death and advise you about the available legal options.
Compensation Available in a Personal Injury Case
You could file an insurance claim or lawsuit if another person or company were at fault for the injury you suffered. The compensation you receive could compensate for your past and future losses, such as:
- Medical bills
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Long-term disability
- Property damage
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
You could end up with reduced compensation in a lawsuit if you were partly at fault for the incident. Pure comparative negligence allows the jury to diminish a plaintiff’s financial award by their percentage of fault.
For example, if you suffered $100,000 in losses, but the jury discovers you were 20% responsible for your injury, you could receive no more than $80,000 in compensation.
If you are the surviving spouse, child, parent, sibling, or grandparent, you could file a wrongful death lawsuit against the party responsible for your loved one’s death. The compensation you recover could compensate you for some of the losses you suffered due to your family member’s death, such as:
- Medical expenses
- Anguish and grief endured by the family
- Funeral and burial costs
- Lost earnings and benefits provided by the deceased
- Value of household services the deceased would have provided if they survived
- Loss of companioship, emotional support, guidance, and care
You must meet a deadline if you want to sue someone for the losses you suffered due to your injury or loved one’s death. Louisiana has a one-year statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death cases. That means you have one year from the date of the injury or death to file your lawsuit against the at-fault party for compensation.
