Auto Accidents can change your life. Whether it’s a small fender bender or a head-on collision, we understand – it’s serious. For that reason, we fight relentlessly to help our clients recover damages for their pain and suffering, medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and more. Don’t let the insurance companies make you a victim twice. If you’ve been involved in an automobile accident, give our office a call and let us help you get the compensation you deserve. We handle accident cases, start to finish, in any of the following areas
If you’ve been injured in an auto accident in Metairie, Louisiana, you have the right to pursue compensation for a wide range of damages. First and foremost, you can seek recovery for your medical expenses — both current bills and any future treatments you might need. This includes hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, medication, and therapy. Lost wages are also a major factor; if the accident caused you to miss work or will impact your ability to earn a living in the future, you can demand payment for that lost income. Pain and suffering damages are available too, covering the physical pain and emotional distress you’ve endured. Louisiana law also allows accident victims to pursue compensation for property damage to their vehicle and any personal items inside it at the time of the crash.
In more serious cases, you may be able to claim additional damages such as loss of consortium (for how the injuries affect your relationship with your spouse) or even punitive damages if the at-fault driver’s behavior was especially reckless, like driving drunk or texting behind the wheel. Insurance companies will do everything they can to minimize what they owe you — that’s a given. Don’t expect them to offer a fair settlement without a fight. That’s why having an aggressive attorney on your side who knows how to properly calculate and demand the full value of your claim is crucial if you want to avoid getting shortchanged.
If you’ve been involved in an accident, take the following steps:
“I was hit by a commercial truck, and WJ Blanchard Law handled everything. They got me the settlement I needed to get my life back on track.” – Daniel P., Metairie, LA
“After my motorcycle accident, I felt overwhelmed. They walked me through every step and made sure I was taken care of.” – Linda C., Jefferson Parish
Auto accidents can turn your life upside down. Let us help you get back on track. Call WJ Blanchard Law today for a free consultation with an experienced Metairie auto accident lawyer. We’ll review your case, explain your options, and fight for the justice you deserve.
In Louisiana, you only have one year from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is one of the shortest deadlines in the country. If you miss it, you can almost guarantee the court will throw out your case, no matter how strong your evidence is. Don’t wait — the clock starts ticking the day of the crash.
Louisiana follows a comparative fault system. That means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly to blame — but your payout will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 30% responsible, your damages award would be cut by 30%. Insurance companies love to exploit this to pay you less, so don’t just accept their word on fault without speaking to a lawyer.
If it’s a minor fender-bender with no injuries, you might be fine handling it on your own. But if you’re injured, even slightly, you’re gambling with your health and your future by not getting legal help. Insurance companies are trained to lowball you, delay your claim, or deny it altogether. A lawyer knows the local courts, understands how to fight back, and can usually get you way more than you’d get on your own, even after attorney fees.
