FAQ
Top Questions About Catastrophic Injuries
Here are five essential Questions and Answers to consider when speaking with a Catastrophic Injury Attorney in Lafayette, LA.
What is the first thing to do after the injury occurs?
The absolute first priority is your health and safety. Seek immediate medical attention, even if you don't feel acutely injured at first, as some severe trauma like brain or internal injuries have delayed symptoms. Obtaining prompt and comprehensive medical documentation is not just for your health, but also is essential evidence for any future legal claim.
Should I speak with the other party's insurance company?
No. You should politely decline to give any recorded statements or sign any documents from the opposing party’s insurance company before consulting with legal counsel. Insurance adjusters may try to get you to admit fault or minimize your injuries. Direct them to speak with your attorney.
Should I document the injury and the scene myself?
Documenting everything is crucial if you are physically able to do so safely. Take photos of the injury, the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any potential hazards that caused the injury. Keep a detailed journal of your symptoms, medical appointments, pain levels, and how the injury affects your daily life. This personal record helps establish the severity of your damages.
How quickly do I need to hire an attorney in Louisiana?
The "statute of limitations" in Louisiana (the deadline to file a lawsuit) is relatively short for personal injury claims. While you have a limited time, it is vital to contact an attorney as soon as possible. Early legal intervention allows us to immediately investigate the scene, preserve crucial evidence before it disappears, and contact witnesses while their memories are fresh.
How can a lawyer help with my medical bills?
We can help negotiate with medical providers to delay collections while the case is pending, advise you on using your own insurance coverage correctly, and ensure all future medical costs and lost wages are thoroughly documented as part of your final settlement demand.
