CAR ACCIDENTS 

LOW-BALL OFFER AFTER YOUR CAR WRECK -- OR NO RESPONSE AT ALL?

Stop Being Polite... GET RUDE

Don’t Get Pushed Around After Your Car Accident… GET RUDE, Instead!

You were just in an accident, weren’t you? At RUDIN LAW, we know what that means. You’re banged up, your car is a mess…and the insurance company is giving you the runaround. Insurance companies are notorious for delaying claims, tossing out early, lowball offers, and even outright denying payouts they rightfully owe. But when you’re injured and need help, you need an attorney who’s not afraid to stand toe-to-toe with the insurance companies. And at RUDIN LAW, we don’t just talk tough; we deliver.

Whether you’re in Louisiana, Texas, or anywhere else around the country, RUDIN LAW is ready to take on those responsible for your injuries and get you the justice you deserve. We are here to stand up and fight back. And to that, we say: it’s time to stop letting the insurance company push you around, it’s time to stop being polite… and GET RUDE with RUDIN LAW.

The Harsh Reality: Car Crashes Are No Joke and the Statistics Prove It

Car accidents are no joke even though the insurance companies act like they’re all a big game. These statistics prove that point.
Louisiana: According to the Louisiana Traffic Records Summary Report (presented by the Center for Analytics & Research in Transportation Safety), in 2022, Louisiana experienced 852 fatal crashes resulting in 906 deaths. There were also 42,351 injury crashes causing 68,008 injuries. Alarmingly, 29.69% of fatal crashes were alcohol-related, and 42.02% of drivers killed were not wearing seatbelts. The total cost of these accidents was estimated to be $10.65 billion.

Texas: According to the Texas Department of Transportation report, in 2022, Texas saw 4,481 traffic fatalities. Serious injury crashes numbered 15,299 resulting in 18,880 severe injuries. Disturbingly, 25.95% of fatalities involved alcohol with 1,163 people killed in DUI-related crashes. Distracted driving fatalities caused an additional 484 deaths. 

Comparative Fault in Louisiana and Texas

The systems of determining fault in Louisiana and Texas operate differently. Comparative fault (also known as, comparative negligence) is a legal principle used in personal injury claims to divide fault among parties involved in an accident.
Pure comparative fault allows any party to recover compensation for accident-related losses as long as they are not entirely to blame for the accident. Twelve states, including Louisiana, follow pure comparative negligence, meaning there is no upper limit barring recovery short of 100%. In Louisiana, a pure comparative negligence system, you can still receive compensation for an accident even if you are partially at fault. For example, if your claim is worth $15,000 but you’re found to be one-third responsible, you can still collect $10,000.
In Texas, you can sue for damages even if you are partially at fault for an accident. However, the modified comparative fault rule followed in Texas states that a plaintiff can only recover damages if they are less than 50% at fault. If the plaintiff is more than 50% at fault, then they are not entitled to any recovery. The amount they can recover will be reduced proportionally to their level of fault.

Regardless of whether you are in Louisiana, Texas, or anywhere else across the United States, when you hire RUDIN LAW, we make sure the parties responsible for hurting you pay their fair share.

Don’t Delay! Be Wary of the Deadline to File Your Lawsuit.

As of July 1, 2024, claimants in both Louisiana and Texas have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. But do not wait until the last minute. Information and evidence gathering should begin immediately following the crash. And the sooner you contact RUDIN LAW, the sooner we can begin building your case. We’re ready to act fast so you should be ready to call us as soon as disaster strikes.
