If you have been injured through the fault of another, you need an experienced and respected personal injury attorney to help get you the money you deserve.  Here are some questions that our clients often ask and our answers to their questions:

How do I Choose the Right Personal Injury Lawyer for My Case?

 

 

The attorneys at the LaGarde Law Firm have years of successful experience representing many hundreds of individuals in personal injury cases. Our personal injury lawyers have won large verdicts and settlements for our clients in cases involving automobile and truck accidents, oilfield injuries, offshore disasters, defective products and other types of personal injury claims.

Why Should I Hire a Board Certified Personal Injury Lawyer?

 

What Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

Each person’s case is different.  We have handled personal injury cases where the damages amounted to tens of millions of dollars.  We have also seen cases where the damages are very small.  It just depends on the individual case.  If you are injured by the negligence (fault) of another, you can typically recover for the following types of damages:

  • Physical pain and mental anguish sustained in the past;
  • Physical pain and mental anguish that, in reasonable probability, you will sustain in the future;
  • Loss of earning capacity sustained in the past;
  • Loss of earning capacity that, in reasonable probability, you will sustain in the future;
  • Disfigurement sustained in the past;
  • Disfigurement that, in reasonable probability, you will sustain in the future;
  • Physical impairment sustained in the past;
  • Physical impairment that, in reasonable probability, you will sustain in the future;
  • Medical care expenses in the past; and,
  • Medical care expenses that, in reasonable probability, you will incur in the future.
