How Does The Personal Injury Process Work In Morgan City?

1. Free Consultation: We listen to your story and explain your options.
2. Claim Stage: We gather medical records, collect evidence, and submit a demand to the insurance company.
3. Lawsuit Stage If Needed: If the insurer refuses a fair offer, we file suit to protect your rights.
4. Settlement Opportunities: Many cases settle during discovery, even in the days before or during trial.
5. Trial: If necessary, we present your case before a judge or jury and fight for the compensation you deserve.

How Does Comparative Fault Affect My Case?

Louisiana law allows more than one person to share responsibility for an accident. If you were partly at fault, your recovery may be reduced by that percentage. For example, if you were found 10 percent responsible for a crash on Highway 90, your compensation would be reduced by 10 percent. We work hard to reduce any blame placed on you and protect the full value of your claim.

Why Is It Important To Act Quickly?

Louisiana law gives you up to two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim, known as the prescriptive period. However, it’s important to take action well before that deadline. Waiting too long can make it harder to collect evidence, locate witnesses, and build a strong case. Acting early gives our team the best chance to protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.

How Does LJBLegal Handle Insurance Company Problems?

What If My Claim Is Denied?

If an insurance company denies your claim, that’s not the end. We review their reasoning, gather additional proof, and appeal or take legal action when necessary to make sure your voice is heard.

What If I Receive A Low Offer?

Insurance companies often start with low offers. We calculate the true value of your injuries, including medical care, future treatment, lost income, and pain. We never recommend accepting less than you deserve and are prepared to go to court if needed.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

• Medical Expenses: Hospital bills, therapy, surgery, and medications.
• Lost Wages And Future Income: Missed pay and reduced earning ability caused by your injuries.
• Pain And Suffering: Physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
• Property Damage: Costs to repair or replace your vehicle or damaged property.

Should I Settle Or File A Lawsuit?

• Most Cases Settle: Many resolve during the claims process.
• File A Lawsuit When Needed: We file when the insurer refuses to make a fair offer.
• Settlement Can Happen Anytime: Even during trial, many cases resolve once the defense sees we are prepared.
• You Decide: We provide honest guidance and help you choose the best option for your situation.

What Should I Do After An Accident In Morgan City?

• Seek medical care right away, even for minor pain.
• Report the accident to police and keep a copy of the report.
• Take photos of the scene near Lake Palourde, Bayou Boeuf, or Marguerite Street.
• Save all bills, receipts, and correspondence from insurers.
• Contact LJBLegal before giving any statement to an insurance company.
