Rio Grande City, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

The minimum coverage in Louisiana is 15/30/25. This means that the maximum one person can receive in bodily injury is $15,000. The maximum the insurance company will pay out to all injured parties - whether 2 or 10 - is $30,000. The maximum the insurance company will pay out in property damage is $25,000. You may be able to receive money from the insurance company covering the vehicle you were in if it has medical payments coverage and/or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages. You may also be able to recover from your own insurance if you have the applicable coverages. Please contact my office to discuss further. Just because the vehicle had insurance that may cover you, does not mean that you are automatically entitled to the receive money. You need to ensure that you are protected prior to agreeing to accept any money from any of the insurance companies.

It sounds like the person at fault is a co-worker of yours. Unfortunately, you were in the course of your employment and worker's compensation laws state that you cannot sue your employer or fellow employee for negligence. Your only avenue is worker's compensation. I suggest you call an experienced worker's compensation attorney in your area to find out your rights under the law and what you may be entitled to.
