Houma Car Accident Lawyer
In the aftermath of an auto wreck, figuring out how you’re going to cover your costs can be overwhelming. Work with a car accident lawyer in Houma to seek compensation from the person or persons who are responsible for causing your injuries.
When you have endured serious injuries in a car crash, it can seem like the end of the world. Your physical injuries aside, you’ll likely be accruing thousands of dollars in medical debt and be unable to pay your living expenses while out of work. Thankfully, Louisiana law allows for injury victims to exercise their right to repayment for suffering inflicted by another when they choose to pursue a civil claim.
Your Houma car accident lawyer at the Law Office of Braud & Gallagher can help you determine who should be compelled to compensate you for your losses, gather the evidence needed to establish culpability, and ensure that every single loss you have experienced is taken into consideration when calculating the value of your claim. We’ll do the work while you recuperate so you can begin to put this trauma in the past.
Establishing Fault in an Auto Wreck
Your claim will only be considered a success if we can prove that someone else is to blame for the cause of the collision you were involved in. Now, it’s easy enough to assume that this individual or entity would be the driver who hit you. While aggressive, drunk, drowsy, and distracted drivers are certainly known for causing catastrophic car crashes, this isn’t the only party that could be at fault.
For example, sometimes, faulty or malfunctioning auto parts cause auto accidents, resulting in the manufacturers, automakers, and service technicians being found liable. In other cases, unsecured road construction zones, defective traffic lights, and large potholes are the cause, and the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LaDOTD) could be to blame.
Your attorney’s investigation will divulge which parties contributed to the cause of the accident and build a powerful claim against them so you are positioned to be awarded the compensation you are entitled to.
