Personal injury claims come in numerous forms.

Our firm also has experience with the following personal injury claims:
If you are injured in Donaldsonville, the Prevost Memorial Hospital is located at 301 Memorial Drive. Their emergency number is (225) 474-2140, and their non-emergency number is (225) 473-7931.
Pain and suffering damages are calculated using more than one method in Louisiana. A personal injury attorney may use multiple methods to determine the most accurate and fair pain and suffering compensation.
These and other non-economic damages are often calculated in relation to your economic damages. When you have higher medical bills, pain and suffering damages are assumed to be higher. Pain and suffering damages may also be calculated based on the time it takes you to recover.
Some types of personal injury cases in Louisiana have a set cap on pain and suffering damages, but not all do. However, even when there is no cap on pain and suffering, the value must be reasonable and fair. If you have minor injuries, the pain and suffering damages will be much lower than if you have sustained a life-altering injury. When you navigate your case with a knowledgeable attorney, they have the experience and resources to calculate these damages.
Pain and suffering damages, like other non-economic damages, can be harder to prove in a personal injury claim because of the subjectivity. However, these damages are viewed as compensable losses in a personal injury claim and should be compensated. It is much easier to prove pain and suffering damages when you work with an attorney who has navigated many of these claims and knows how to gather evidence of these intangible losses.
A fair personal injury settlement is a settlement that covers the total of your damages. The amount depends on your injuries and other unique factors of your case. Damages could include the total value of medical bills, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, property damage, disability, and reduced enjoyment of life.
Calculating these immediate and long-term damages can be complicated and is much easier with an experienced personal injury attorney.
Personal injury claims may be filed with an insurance company or as a civil claim. How your personal injury claim is handled will depend on the type of accident, the insurance coverage available, and other factors.
