ACCIDENT HANDBOOK Explains Legal Rights to Car Accident Victims

By: Christina Mancuso Sep. 11, 2015

PONCHATOULA, La., Sept. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire-iReach/ Louisiana attorney Parker Layrisson has authored a book that explains personal injury law to people hurt in car crashes.

The 325-page guide is entitled Accident Handbook: The Practical Guide to Louisiana Personal Injury Law for Car Wreck Victims. It is based on Layrisson's experience helping his clients deal with personal injuries, and shares step-by-step solutions that help injury victims recover the compensation they deserve.

"People injured in car wrecks have urgent questions about who will pay their medical bills, what to do next, when to take action, and where to turn for advice," said Layrisson. "This book provides reliable information that they can trust, before they talk to insurance adjusters, sign legal forms, or hire a lawyer."

Accident Handbook provides practical guidance for handling most aspects of a car wreck personal injury case and the insurance claim process and shows readers how to recover a full and fair settlement. Topics include:

Protecting your rights after an accident
Determining how much your claim is worth
Fixing your vehicle property damage
What to expect during your case
Specific mistakes to avoid
Social media precautions
Time limitations pertinent to an injury case
Legal concepts such as mediation, arbitration, discovery, and liens

"Unfortunately, most accident victims do not have a personal connection with a trustworthy injury lawyer. They need a better place to start than a TV commercial. That's why the info in this book is so valuable," said Layrisson.

Advance praise for Accident Handbook calls it "thorough and well-crafted" and "guide for real people, not lawyers." One independent reviewer recommends that auto injury victims use this book "to make sure that their attorney is doing what they should be doing."

The hardback book was published by HF Group and is available for purchase online at Amazon.com. The author also plans to donate copies for free public use to local libraries.

Parker Layrisson is an award winning attorney with law offices in New Orleans and Ponchatoula, Louisiana. His practice focuses exclusively on car accident injury and wrongful death cases. Layrisson is a former federal judicial law clerk, state assistant attorney general, parish special counsel, and city prosecutor who served as editor-in-chief of the Louisiana Law Review. In addition to Accident Handbook, Layrisson has authored several books, articles, and a blog.

"Having served injured clients for over a decade, this book is a natural next step toward helping even more people to solve the problems presented by car accidents," said Layrisson. "I want to share my knowledge so victims feel informed, encouraged, and proactive in handling their case, with or without an attorney. Accident Handbook offers practical answers to questions most people don't even know to ask."
