Have you been injured by the negligence of another in Slidell? Contact Louisiana personal injury lawyer Jesse Wimberly for help obtaining crucial financial compensation.
Families in Slidell are hardly unfamiliar with injuries. Most are short-term: an ankle twisted in baseball practice, a mild concussion from a pick-up football game in the park, a cut in the kitchen, they heal quickly, and do not present a great burden to your day-to-day life. Some injuries, however, are far more severe and come with long-term consequences and deep expenses.
If you get into a car accident on your way from Slidell to New Orleans, lose a finger or even a hand to heavy machinery, or endure serious head trauma after a fall in a store, you might be facing growing hospital bills on top of other expenses. Worse still, you might be unable to go back to work for weeks, or longer, putting even more strain on you and your family’s finances.
You might not have to bear that entire burden alone, however, especially if your injury was caused by someone else. By law, when your injury is someone else’s fault, and they acted negligently or criminally, a lawyer can help you make a personal injury claim against them (and their insurance) to get them to pay for the costs and losses connected with that injury. A process that attorney Jesse Wimberly has been helping injured folks In Slidell and throughout St Tammany with for decades.
If an injury is serious enough to send you to the hospital, render you unable to work, or leave you with an ongoing pain or disability, it is probably severe enough to be worth trying to make a personal injury claim. Unfortunately, you might not have the right to for every such injury.
In order to qualify for personal injury compensation, your injury has to have been
Such an injury can occur in all kinds of situations, from truck accidents, to your workplace, or a store or dentist you are visiting in Slidell. As long as someone else’s negligence caused your injury, a personal injury lawyer can help you make that claim for vital financial compensation from those responsible. A lawyer can also help you figure out if you do qualify, and someone like Jesse Wimberly will always be willing to do so for free.
If you have endured such an injury, chances are you are already feeling the financial strain. Insurance companies are aware of this, however, and may pretend to be helpful or try to lure you into accepting a small amount of compensation right away after an injury.
Never accept an offer without at least reviewing it by an experienced attorney, because you might be missing out on significant amounts of potential compensation in any or all of the following categories:
The more serious the injury, the higher the costs may be for treating it. From doctor’s visits and diagnostic tests, to extensive surgeries and physical therapy for rehabilitation, medical bills tend to be immediate and expensive.
It is essential to wait until you have made as full a recovery as possible before claiming these damages, as once you have come to an agreement with the insurance company, it will be all but impossible to go back and ask/demand more, even if future medical expenses arise.
While these costs will often be evident to you, insurance companies may contest some or all of them, including using your own words or behavior against you. You may end up needing a lawyer to present proof, even taking them to court if needed.
Severe injuries will often leave you unable to work for some time, and the worst injuries might leave you unable to ever return to your previous job, or any job. Even just a few days off can be enough to threaten your financial security if you live paycheck to paycheck, and few families in Slidell can afford to lose months of income or more without severe strain.
Fortunately, this lost income, including lost future income and earning potential, can be considered part of the harm caused to you by an injury. This means that, with the help of a skilled lawyer, some or even all of those lost wages can be claimed and returned to you through a personal injury claim.
One source of compensation that you could easily overlook without the help of a lawyer (and no insurance company is going to tell you about it) is the emotional harm done by an injury. If your injury has impacted the day-to-day quality of your life, for example, by stopping you from playing a beloved sport or forcing you to live with ongoing physical pain or emotional trauma, you deserve compensation for that harm as well.
Sometimes, these combined sources of harm, called damages in personal injury law, can be more than an insurance policy is prepared to pay; in such situations, a skilled lawyer may be able to find other sources or policies that apply. Which is how Jesse Wimberly has been able to deliver several settlements and personal injury court-awarded compensations of over a million dollars in his decades working for Louisiana injury victims.
