Protect Your Rights Following a Car Accident Injury - Have an Attorney Handle Your Auto Insurance Claims

Depending on the circumstances surrounding your auto accident you may be entitled to compensation from multiple insurance companies, or under several provisions of your own motor vehicle policy. No matter what the adjuster may say, remember that all auto insurance companies are focused on cutting costs. That means they will not hesitate to undervalue or deny your legitimate claim for personal injury.

Fighting for Clients Injured in All Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents

Every auto accident and every injury is unique. If you were in an SUV rollover caused by defective auto parts or equipment, you may be entitled to damages from the auto manufacturer in a product liability claim. If you are a tourist who was injured on the St. Charles streetcar, or in an accident on a city bus, taxicab, or airport shuttle bus, you may have a claim against the city, company or a vehicle owned by a hotel. Our lawyer aggressively pursues full compensation for injuries related to all types of traffic accidents, including:

Hit and Run Accidents · Uninsured and Underinsured Drivers

Under Louisiana's auto insurance laws, drivers are not required to carry much liability insurance. With the cost of medical care today, even a minor whiplash injury can result in tens of thousands of dollars in treatment expenses. Treatment for a serious brain injury or spinal cord injury can exhaust most drivers' liability policy limits in several days. If you have been injured and the other driver has no insurance, or his insurance is not enough to cover your losses, you can usually collect under your own policy. Uninsured and underinsured motorists' coverage is meant to protect you if you are hurt by a driver without insurance or someone who leaves the scene of the accident. Car accident lawyer Arruebarrena has helped many people recover damages for injuries caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver.

Act Before It's Too Late - Contact A Lawyer Today

In Louisiana, there are very short deadlines which must be met in injury cases. These strict deadlines, called prescriptive periods or statutes of limitation, limit the time you have, to bring a lawsuit against the party who caused your injury.
