Cameron Personal Injury Lawyer

Cameron Personal Injury Attorney

Being injured can negatively impact your personal well-being and your finances. When someone else is to blame for your injuries because they were acting recklessly, you could recover some of the financial losses from your injury. A Cameron personal injury lawyer can help you hold that person responsible and file a claim that compensates you for your damages.

Dedicated Personal Injury Attorneys

Not all injuries result in personal injury claims. An attorney can review your accident to determine if you have the grounds for a case to recover losses like medical bills, lost income and earning capacity, and other damages. You want to find an effective and skilled attorney.

At the Cox Law Firm, our team has more than 135 years of collective experience, largely in personal injury law. We help with complex and straightforward claims, making it easier and enabling you to deal with less stress and get the compensation that you deserve.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle at the Cox Law Firm

Many situations in which someone is to blame for your injuries could lead to a personal injury claim. These claims may be filed against insurance providers or through the civil claims system against individuals, companies, or entities.

There are certain circumstances that more commonly result in personal injury cases. It is to your benefit to find an attorney who has successfully handled cases like yours previously. This ensures they have the abilities and resources needed to investigate and navigate the case. An experienced attorney is less likely to make errors during the process and may be able to secure you a better outcome. At the Cox Law Firm, we have handled many of the following cases:

Car Accidents

Drivers on the road have a duty of care to operate their vehicles safely and can breach this duty of care when they speed, drive distracted, or commit moving violations. If a driver’s carelessness causes a crash, they can be held accountable. Typically, car accident claims are handled through insurance providers. Getting the recovery you deserve from these providers and determining if there are other avenues for compensation is easier with an experienced attorney.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are often more complex than other motor vehicle accidents for many reasons, including:

• Significantly worse injuries
• Higher compensation needed
• Involvement of a commercial insurance carrier
• Higher insurance coverage limits
• Multiple potential liable parties

The complexity of these cases can make it much harder for injured individuals to recover fair and full compensation without the help of a skilled attorney.

Rideshare Accidents

If you are injured while in a rideshare service, you may have multiple options for compensation, including the rideshare company’s insurance and the at-fault driver’s insurance. If you were a driver in an accident with a rideshare driver, your coverage may rely on the status of the driver. Determining how you can recover compensation can be difficult, and an attorney can help navigate these cases.

Workplace Accidents

When you are injured while at work in Cameron, you are typically only able to recover compensation through the workers’ compensation system. There are benefits to this system, including not requiring you to prove fault to recover damages. In some cases, you can file a personal injury claim, which may cover additional damages. This may apply if a third party was to blame for your injury or if your employer failed to carry the legally required workers’ compensation insurance.

Wrongful Death

When someone does not survive their injuries but would have been able to file a personal injury claim, their surviving family members can file a wrongful death claim. This can hold the at-fault party accountable and help families cover specific financial losses like loss of income, financial support, and the cost of a funeral.

We can also help with:

• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• Animal attacks
• Dog bite claims
• Maritime and offshore injuries
• Construction injuries

FAQs

What Is the Average Personal Injury Settlement in Louisiana?

The average personal injury settlement in Louisiana can vary because each case is unique and affected by numerous factors. The value of your personal injury settlement may rely on:

• The type of accident you were injured in
• If there were multiple parties to blame for the accident
• The amount of insurance coverage that the at-fault party held
• Whether you have dedicated legal representation
• The strength of the case and evidence against the at-fault party

What Percentage Do Most Personal Injury Lawyers Take?

Some personal injury attorneys take a percentage called a contingency fee if you receive a favorable outcome. This usually requires no upfront out-of-pocket attorney fees, but the exact percentage can vary considerably. Attorneys typically have a higher contingency fee for cases that go to court because these cases require greater resources and more time and work from an attorney. You should discuss this with your attorney at your first consultation.

2. They did not uphold this duty of care because of a negligent action or inaction
3. Their failure to uphold their duty directly led to the incident that harmed you
