When Should You Contact a Construction Accident Lawyer?
In general, it is never in your best interest to handle a construction accident claim alone. Instead, you should work with an experienced legal tea, that understands your injuries and losses.
If you believe a property owner, contactor, or company caused your accident you should act quickly. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better your chances of building a strong case.
We Do More Than File Lawsuits
At Cueria Law Injury Lawyers, we do more than file claims. In addition, we guide you through every step of the legal process.
For example, we can:
- Help you file an insurance claim
- Organize important documents
- Evaluate your legal options
- Pursue compensation for your injuries
Meanwhile, you can focus on your recovery.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
You have the right to file an insurance claim after a construction accident. However, insurance companies often try to reduce payouts.
In many cases, adjusters may:
- Downplay your injuries
- Delay your claim
- Offer low settlements
Because of this, having a lawyer on your side can make a significant difference.
Louisiana Statute of Limitations
Louisiana law limits the time you have to file a claim. As of 2025, you generally have two years under La. Civ. Code Art. 3493.1.
If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to compensation. Therefore, it is critical to act as soon as possible.
How We Prove Negligence
To recover compensation, you must prove that another party acted negligently. To do this, our attorneys gather strong evidence.
This may include:
- Photos and videos of the accident
- Medical records and reports
- Witness statements
- Equipment data and inspection records
- Expert testimony
As a result, we can build a clear and compelling case on your behalf.
Settlement vs. Trial
Most construction companies prefer to settle claims. However, some may pressure you into accepting less than you deserve.
If that happens, our attorneys can step in and protect your rights. If necessary, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
After a construction accident, you may recover compensation for your losses. For example, our New Orleans attorneys pursue damages for:
Medical Expenses
- Emergency care and hospital stays
- Surgeries and treatment
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Pain management
Lost Income
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
Other Economic Losses
- Property damage
- Long-term care needs
Non-Economic Damages
In addition, you may recover compensation for non-economic losses. These damages reflect the emotional and personal impact of your injury.
They may include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Reduced quality of life
- Loss of enjoyment of daily activities
Do You Have to Go to Court?
Fortunately, you are not required to go to court to recover compensation. In many cases, claims settle outside of court.
However, if the responsible party refuses to take accountability, your attorney can file a lawsuit and proceed to trial.
