Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Louisiana?
Seek medical attention, report the accident to police, document the scene, and contact our firm before speaking with insurance companies to protect your rights.
How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim?
Louisiana law generally allows two years from the accident date or one year from when you became aware of the injury, whichever comes first.
Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury?
Most workplace injuries are covered by workers' compensation, but you may pursue third-party claims against equipment manufacturers or subcontractors responsible for your injuries.
What compensation can I recover for a brain injury?
Victims may receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future care costs, and diminished quality of life through settlement or trial verdicts.
How are attorney fees structured for personal injury cases?
We work on contingency fees - you pay nothing unless we win your case, with fees coming from the settlement or judgment amount.
