A back injury can leave you in debilitating pain, preventing you from working, completing daily tasks, or even moving. It can be even more upsetting when you know the injury was preventable. If the injury is someone else’s fault or occurred while you were working, you have options for recovering compensation for medical bills, lost income, and other losses. The skilled Louisiana back injury lawyer can support you and your family as you fight for the recovery you deserve.
The exceptional team at Murphy Law Firm can provide you with the legal representation and compassionate support you need during this difficult time.
If your back injury occurred because of your job duties or an accident at work, the process of recovering compensation may be different than if you were injured because of an unaddressed hazard on someone’s property. You want to find an attorney with experience in numerous areas of personal injury law. At Murphy Law Firm, our personal injury lawyer team have spent decades supporting individuals and families in Louisiana communities, and we can help you recover from your back injury.
The consequences of a back injury can change your life, preventing you from securing or participating in gainful employment to support yourself and making it difficult to enjoy your life without pain. The team at Murphy Law Firm understands the numerous consequences these injuries can have. Our attorneys have more than 150 collective years of experience in personal injury law, and we use this experience to benefit your claim. We help you hold negligent parties responsible.
When you are able to prove that another party’s negligence or recklessness was the cause of your injury, you can file a personal injury claim against them to recover your losses. The financial recovery you can get from this claim depends on the damages you sustained as a direct result of the negligent party’s actions.
Back injuries can have numerous immediate and long-term consequences and get worse over time. You may be able to recover damages such as:
An attorney is exceptionally helpful in accurately calculating the entire cost of your injury. Many injured individuals underestimate what they are owed, and this can lead to them accepting an offer from the insurance company that does not represent the full extent of their losses. Insurance companies are often predatory and want to push you to accept a low settlement so they can avoid full liability.
The financial compensation you can recover also depends on the type of claim. If you are filing a workers’ compensation claim, the benefits you can recover may be more limited, but you are also not required to prove another party was at fault. Workers’ compensation claims do not recover non-economic damages like pain and suffering; instead, compensation that covers partial wages and the cost of medical bills is secured.
Most personal injury claims are filed against the insurance company of the individual or entity responsible for your injury. It is much easier to negotiate effectively with the help of a skilled attorney. Attorneys are experienced negotiators. Because your attorney can calculate your damages, they know what your claim is worth. Your attorney can help you successfully argue for a settlement that covers your losses.
Every personal injury case in Louisiana is different, and several aspects of your unique case can impact how long it takes to settle. This includes:
Pain and suffering can be calculated in several different ways in Louisiana. It may be reliant on how long you take to recover, the significance of your economic damages, or both. When you have higher economic losses, it is assumed that you have suffered more physical and mental harm, because higher economic losses typically correlate with more serious injuries.
Calculating pain and suffering damages is much more straightforward with the support of an attorney and their professional resources.
The average claim for a back injury depends on the severity of your injury and the type of accident that caused your injury. A more serious injury is likely to have more significant damages, such as surgery and treatment costs, lost income during recovery, and the impact the injury has on your life. This is what a claim recovers.
The type of accident can also affect what compensation you can recover and the insurance limits that are available.
Lawyers take a percentage of the final personal injury settlement in Louisiana, and the amount depends on several aspects of your case. Your case may have a set percentage if it is settled in negotiations but be set to increase if the case goes to trial. This is because a trial requires more work and resources from an attorney. An attorney’s fees are also dependent on their skill and experience. Always discuss legal fees with an attorney upfront.
