How you can Benefit from LA Attorneys Who Specialize in Car Crashes

LA attorneys schooled in handling New Orleans injury claims and personal injury cases as a result of car crashes may help guide injured motorists through the maze of Louisiana’s statute of limitations

Accidents in automobiles, trucks or other motor vehicles where probable negligence is involved could be a solid case for a personal injury suit. Louisiana requires individuals seeking compensation for accidents in automobiles file their suit within 1 year. If the personal injury case is with an uninsured motorist (UM) and damages are sought then there is a 2-year window for filing suit.

UM Rules and Rights

Damages may be sought from your own UM insurance if a negligent motorist does not have adequate coverage to pay for all of your losses. LA attorneys specializing in personal injury and New Orleans injury claims should be able to outline the laws governing UM in Louisiana.

A couple laws that govern UM in Louisiana include the McDill Tender Requirement and the Good Faith Deal. The McDill Tender Requirement states that your insurance company is required to offer a fair settlement as soon as you provide evidence of a viable claim under your UM insurance coverage.

The Good Faith Deal states that you may file a claim against your insurance company if it fails to deal with you in good faith when handling your UM claim. This only applies to your insurance company and not the other driver’s.
