WHO’S AT FAULT?
To win an accident lawsuit in Louisiana, the victim/plaintiff, must prove the other driver was responsible for causing the accident and the plaintiff’s injuries. However, victims can still receive compensation even if they’re found partially at fault for the accident.
Louisiana fault laws operate under the pure comparative fault doctrine. This means that if you’re determined to be partially at fault for the cash, awarded damages are reduced in proportion to the percentage of fault you contributed to the accident. In some cases, a judge or a jury may have to determine how fault is distributed, which means the process can be highly subjective and influenced by the presentation of evidence.
It’s never been more important to secure experienced legal counsel. Distracted driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and a host of other challenges have made car accident cases more complicated, which means victims must work harder to find experienced representation to overcome that adversity.
