FAQ
Top Questions About Car Accident Injuries
Here are five essential Questions and Answers to consider when speaking with a Car Accident Attorney in Lafayette, LA.
How much does it cost to hire a car accident attorney?
It costs you nothing upfront to hire Fussell & Colligan. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we cover all the initial costs of building and pursuing your case. We only get paid a fee if we successfully win your case and recover compensation for you. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
First, ensure everyone is safe and call 911 immediately to report the accident and request medical attention. Next, gather evidence: take photos of the scene, damage, and injuries, and get contact information from the other driver and any witnesses. Do not admit fault or give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.
Do I have to go to court for my car accident claim?
Most car accident cases (over 90%) are settled out of court through negotiations with the insurance companies. However, some cases require filing a lawsuit and potentially going to trial to secure fair compensation. Our team will prepare your case thoroughly, whether it settles or proceeds to litigation.
How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit?
The time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit is called the statute of limitations, which varies by state. In Louisiana, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. It is crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed on time and your rights are protected.
How much is my car accident case worth?
The value of your case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, the cost of medical treatment, lost wages, property damage, and the extent of your pain and suffering. We cannot guarantee a specific amount, but after a free case evaluation, we can provide an estimate and fiercely negotiate to maximize the compensation you receive.
