During our initial face-to-face meeting, we want to learn about you and hear your story of how the accident occurred and the injuries and pain you are suffering with. In order to get a complete and accurate understanding of your situation, it is important that you bring any and all relevant documents to the initial meeting. For instance, if you were involved in a wreck with a car, 18-wheeler or any other vehicle, bring the police officer's crash report, photos of the damage to the vehicles and/or accident site, communications with the insurance company, medical records and bills, and any repair estimates from the mechanic or repair shop. After listening to you and understanding your situation, we will be able to tell you if you have a case under the state negligence laws and a valid claim from a legal standpoint. If you have a case, a contingency agreement will be entered into which means you, the client, only pays the personal injury lawyer, Law Office of Jamie D.

In cases in which the car wreck was caused by another driver's negligence, you may be able to seek financial compensation for your losses and injuries. Car accident damages tend to be categorized as one of two types: economic damages or non-economic damages.Money damages are known as economic damages. They include repair or replacement of damaged cars, past and future medical expenses, lost income, and other out-of-pocket expenses. Non-economic damages are harder to calculate. They include pain, emotional distress, and disability or disfigurement.
Examples of common car accident damages include:

• Auto repair or vehicle replacement
• Towing and storage fees
• Rental car charges
• Pain and suffering (Past and Future)
• Medical expenses (Past and Future)
• Lost wages (Past and Future)
• Loss of affection or companionship

Every case is different and care must be taken in determining the value of a car crash claim. An accurate calculation will require that the extent of the injuries be fully understood. Insurance companies frequently want to resolve personal injury claims early or for less than what they may actually be worth. You do not have to rely on what an insurance company says your claim is worth or accept an insurance company's settlement offer without having it reviewed by an attorney with experience in personal injury auto accident claims. Once a settlement is agreed to, you may not be able to ask for more money if it is later determined the costs associated with your personal injury claim are higher than expected.

Louisiana has a "pure comparative fault" system. Under the "pure comparative fault" rule, as long as a driver is less than 100% at fault, that driver may recover a portion of that driver's damages. For example, if a driver is found to be 99% at fault and suffers $10,000 in damages, that driver may still recover $100 in damages.
