Services
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured through no fault of their own in car crashes, slip-and-falls, and other accidents. Our attorneys prove negligence under Louisiana law to secure compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. With decades of combined experience, we handle complex cases involving catastrophic injuries requiring long-term care.
Medical Malpractice
Our team challenges medical providers who breach standards of care through surgical errors, misdiagnoses, or inadequate monitoring. We navigate Louisiana's $500,000 damage cap while pursuing maximum compensation for permanent injuries. Expert witnesses help prove causation in cases involving birth injuries, medication mistakes, and surgical complications.
Truck Accidents
We investigate collisions with 18-wheelers and commercial vehicles to identify liable parties including trucking companies, maintenance providers, and cargo loaders. Our attorneys analyze black box data and FMCSA regulations to prove negligence in cases involving fatigue, improper loading, or speeding-related crashes causing spinal injuries and fatalities.
Admiralty/Maritime
We handle injury claims under federal maritime law for accidents on navigable waters including the Gulf of Mexico. Our firm applies Jones Act protections and Longshore Harbor Workers Compensation while investigating offshore drilling accidents, vessel collisions, and cargo-handling injuries requiring specialized legal expertise.
Wrongful Death
We support families pursuing justice for loved ones lost to negligence in medical facilities, car crashes, or workplace accidents. Our attorneys prove causation and quantify economic losses while providing compassionate guidance through complex legal processes involving multiple liable parties.
