For this reason, our legal team works diligently to pursue justice for accident victims and their families. When you choose to work with us, we can pursue compensation for the following:
Unfortunately, Louisiana does not allow individuals to seek damages from social hosts or alcohol vendors who provided alcohol to the liable driver, even if they serve minors. The only exceptions are if the social host forcibly intoxicated the driver or misrepresented a drink as non-alcoholic when it in fact contained alcohol.
You should talk to a personal injury attorney to determine your sources of compensation and whether you are able to pursue compensation from a social host or another third party.
After an accident in Louisiana, you have a limited amount of time to pursue compensation. In general, CC 3492 is a one-year statute of limitations. You may lose your right to compensation if you don’t file a claim within one year of the accident.
It is possible for this one-year deadline to be extended in certain circumstances. Get in touch with The Chopin Law firm today if you have questions about your case’s statute of limitations.
When you contact our New Orleans car accident lawyers at The Chopin Law Firm LLC, we can immediately examine the details of your case, detail important notes regarding the accident, collect information from witnesses, and contact law enforcement officers in order to begin building a strong case for you. In every case, we pursue the maximum amount of compensation and do everything in our power to make your recovery process as comfortable as possible.
