Car Accident

Shreveport Car Accident Lawyers

If you have been injured in a car accident that was caused by another driver, you need a lawyer who pays attention to the details. Otherwise, you may not receive enough compensation to cover your medical care, lost wages, and other damages from your auto accident injury.

If the person who caused the accident carries the minimum liability coverage or no insurance at all, then you will need to look to other sources of compensation, such as your insurance for uninsured and underinsured motorists (UM/UIM insurance).

At Weems, Schimpf, Gilsoul, Haines, Landry & Carmouche (APLC), we are skilled at finding all sources of compensation. Contact our firm for a free consultation to talk about your car accident claim.

Car Accident and Uninsured Motorist Claims

Everyone in Louisiana who has a liability policy is required to have uninsured motorists coverage, unless they have executed a proper waiver. Even if you have a waiver, our lawyers may be able to challenge whether it was properly executed. Our attorneys have won four uninsured motorist waiver lawsuits against insurance companies because the waiver was invalid or not executed in accordance with the law. In these cases, our clients were able to obtain free uninsured motorist coverage up to the policy limits following their accidents, which resulted in an additional $50,000 in compensation.

Our lawyers will investigate every possible source of compensation for car accident victims. For example, if you were riding in the car with someone at the time of the accident, you can often get recovery from the insurance policies of both the at-fault driver and the person you were riding with. If the at-fault driver was working for his or her employer at the time of the accident, our lawyers can seek compensation from the employer's insurance as well.

In one of the cases we handled, our lawyers were able to obtain $300,000 in compensation for a Desert Storm veteran who suffered a back injury in a car accident. The driver who hit him had a minimum liability policy. However, because the driver was running an errand for his employer at the time of the accident, we were able to collect an additional $200,000 from the employer's insurance.
