If you have been hurt in an auto accident in Lacombe, Louisiana, St Tammany Parish personal injury lawyers from the Wimberly Law Firm can help you recover financially and medically.
Car accidents from Lacombe sometimes make the news in Louisiana, though usually only when they involve high-speed police chases or claim one or more lives. Most of the auto accidents that happen here, as elsewhere in St. Tammany Parish, barely even make local news, however. But for every story that makes headlines, there are a dozen or more accidents that leave people just like you severely injured and feeling like no one cares.
Even a seemingly mild automobile accident can leave lasting injuries that are hard to detect but ruin your life nonetheless. Just as easily, however, you could be left with catastrophic injuries that cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to treat, and still leave you unable to work. In either case, it is all too easy to feel hopeless, isolated, and like you are a burden on those you love. But that is because you may be carrying a burden that was never yours to shoulder alone.
When your accident was caused by a drunk driver, a tired trucker, an inattentive deliver man, or any other negligent party, they can be made to pay for some or even all of the harm you have endured. This compensation is not automatic; however, you have to claim it from them and their insurance, which is just one reason why you might need a personal injury lawyer after any kind of auto accident.
In the immediate aftermath of your auto accident, your first priority is probably (and should always be) your own safety and health. It's not a lawyer you need to call, but the police, and perhaps an ambulance. Getting medical attention quickly is vital, as any personal injury lawyer will tell you, because prompt care will help ensure injuries are detected sooner, keep them from getting worse, and put you on the path to treatment and recovery right away.
But doctors, surgeries, medication and even that ambulance you called cost money. Even if you have exceptional insurance of your own that covers most of it, medical bills can quickly become daunting. It might be tempting for you to put off certain treatments or save money by skipping physical therapy to the next paycheck. Other families in Lacombe may feel they have no choice but to say no to important surgery, if only for the income they would give up during recovery.
Fortunately, these are problems an auto accident injury attorney can help you with. We may not be able to set bones or read X-rays, but we are highly experienced at holding the people responsible for your injuries accountable for their treatment. Better still, the Wimberly Law Firm has been working for so long in St. Tammany Parish and throughout Louisiana that we have built up significant credibility and connections among medical professionals and institutions.
We can therefore help get your treatment paid for “on lien,” which means you pay nothing up front, and only pay out of the verdict or settlement on your claim. We take that risk so you don’t have to, and can afford to get the care you need even before the final agreement is signed.
The Wimberly Law Firm has been working for decades with injured folks in Louisiana to help them obtain justice and compensation. We fight for underdogs like you, against juggernaut insurers and incompetent lawyers, to ensure you get real dollars for the real harm you have endured.
Whether you paid out of pocket, had your insurance step in, or got medical care on a lien, the medical bills that have been piling up after your auto accident need to get paid. The only way to avoid that burden falling on you or those you love is to get those responsible for your injuries to pay for them through a personal injury claim. As auto accident injury claim lawyers, that is what we do.
Not only do we help you add up all the medical expenses and ensure none are missing, but we can also help identify and pursue other liable (responsible) individuals, companies, or institutions that might be responsible if the insurance of the person who ran into you or drove you off the road is insufficient.
Medical bills, unfortunately, are just the visible tip of the iceberg when it comes to the financial hardships that come with an auto accident injury. Invisible costs are just as tough to deal with, like the loss of income from being unable to work for any amount of time. Those costs might not be obvious, but they are real, and as your auto accident injury lawyers, we will ensure they are included in your claim for financial compensation.
At the same time, we will also fight to get your less visible harms included as well. The cost of your pain and suffering, and the toll your auto accident took on your day-to-day life and activities, as well as all other intangible harms, can quickly add up to a major source of financial compensation. After all, your life has been upended; it is only fair that the disruption is reflected in the money you receive afterwards.
Many Lacombe injury victims will never see the compensation they deserve, or only a small slice of it, because their case was mishandled. Sometimes this will be their own fault, because they chose not to trust a lawyer and ended up being cheated by an insurance company. At other times, it may be because they chose to trust the wrong lawyer, who failed to properly file the claim or take the necessary action to succeed.
Here at the Wimberly Law Firm, we specialize in taking on challenging cases, especially those involving the negligence of other attorneys in auto accident cases. We can help you bring a legal malpractice lawsuit against them to recover all the above compensation, and more, even if your personal injury claim failed.
