Safe, conscientious drivers get into car accidents every day. These accidents are usually caused by careless drivers, whose selfish actions can lead to catastrophic injuries and damage.
Our attorneys at the Law Offices of Edward A. Shamis, Jr., J.D., P.C. have seen the damage negligent drivers have caused first-hand. That’s why we’re so dedicated to our clients throughout Slidell, LA, many of whom will face the effects of their accident for years to come.
Car Accident Cases We’ve Handled in the Past
Our attorneys have extensive experience with many different situations, including:
- Hit and Run – Hit and run drivers leave massive amounts of damage in their wake. We’ll help you track down any witnesses or camera footage available to apprehend the offender. We can also help with your insurance claim in case the guilty party can’t be found.
- Drunk Driving – Drunk driving is a very serious offense, one that can have disastrous consequences for car accident victims. Our firm will use existing statutes to ensure the drunk driver receives the maximum penalty.
- Distracted Driving – Many distracted driving behaviors can be just as dangerous as driving while inebriated. Our attorneys have knowledge of all major driving distractions, including texting while driving, carrying conversations with passengers, and eating behind the wheel.
We can also help if you’re the victim of a negligent driver. This includes people who tailgate, disobey traffic signals, drive too fast, and generally disregard the well-being of other motorists.
What You Can Expect When Working With Our Law Firm
We realize every car accident case is different. That’s why we provide individualized attention to each and every client sit down with. We’ll begin by evaluating the accident itself and the events surrounding it. This allows us to establish who was at fault, as well as show how the at-fault driver’s actions led directly to your injuries.
Next, we’ll look at the damages you experienced and calculate the proper amount of compensation. While lost wages and medical bills be major factors when calculating damages, we’ll also look at how the accident impacted other areas of your life. If you’ve suffered from an emotional loss because of your injuries, we can also help you seek compensation for pain and suffering.
