Mark Jackson v. G&S Auto Transport, Inc., et al.

New Orleans, Louisiana personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sue on a truck wreck negligence theory.



Louisiana auto negligence law centers on

pure comparative fault, meaning you can recover damages even if you are at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. To win a negligence claim, you must prove the four elements of negligence: duty, breach, causation, and damages. Additionally, Louisiana has a no-pay, no-play statute, which requires uninsured drivers to forfeit a portion of their damages.

Pure Comparative Fault



Reduced Compensation: Unlike some states that bar recovery if you are at all at fault, Louisiana's pure comparative fault rule allows recovery regardless of your fault percentage.



Reduced by Fault: However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, if you are 20% at fault, your damages will be reduced by 20%.



Elements of Negligence

To win a negligence case, you must prove the four elements outlined in Louisiana Civil Code Article 2315:



Duty: The at-fault party owed you a duty of reasonable care.

Breach:

Causation: The breach was both the factual and legal cause of your injuries.
