You’ve been injured in an accident and are seeking damages for your injuries, lost wages, and other expenses. In most basic personal injury cases, a fair settlement can be reached by each party’s insurance companies without going to court. A New Orleans personal injury lawyer can offer guidance in filing your claim and—ideally—resolving the issue out-of-court through a fair settlement agreement.

What if my settlement isn’t fair or they won’t settle?

If a fair settlement cannot be attained without trial, or if you feel your claim was wrongfully denied, you can bring your case to trial through your Louisiana personal injury lawsuit.

Before going to trial, your personal injury lawyer can help you review any settlement offers and determine if the insurance company is offering fair compensation for your injuries. Remember that you should be taking into account medical expenses for current injuries, projected long-term medical needs (therapy, surgery, suffering), and lost wages.
