If you’ve been hurt in an accident due to another person’s negligence, Louisiana law might entitle you to compensation. If the person responsible was performing their regular job duties during the incident, their employer might be liable for your losses, which can often ease the compensation recovery process. The specific damages you could claim depend on your accident’s circumstances. Some commonly recovered losses in Louisiana personal injury cases include:
– Past and future medical expenses: This covers hospitalization, physical therapy, ongoing treatments, and other medical-related costs.
– Costs related to medical treatment travel.
– Lost income from missed work, both past and future.
– Reduced earning capacity if you can’t return to your previous job.
– Costs for vocational training if you need to switch careers.
– Physical and emotional pain and suffering.
When consulting with an attorney, they can provide a clearer picture of potential compensable losses and the amount you could expect to recover.
