You’re Here Because Something Terrible Happened

Your accident changed everything in an instant. The pain won’t stop. Medical bills keep arriving while you can’t work. The insurance company called within hours, asking you to sign papers and give recorded statements. You’re overwhelmed, and you need answers now.

We understand. Every day, we meet people whose lives shifted completely because someone else was careless or reckless. You’re not just another case file to us. You’re someone dealing with real injuries, real financial pressure, and real uncertainty about your future.

Our Results Speak for Themselves

When negligence destroys lives, Louisiana law requires responsible parties to pay. We’ve recovered substantial compensation for people facing circumstances similar to yours:

  • $409 million for a family who lost everything in a wrongful death from a commercial vehicle accident

  • $49 million for serious injuries caused by an impaired driver

  • $31.5 million for severe spinal and brain injuries from oil field safety violations

  • $17.25 million when a trailer disconnected on an interstate, causing catastrophic injuries

  • $13 million after an unsafe lane change by an 18-wheeler destroyed someone’s life

  • $12.1 million when a commercial vehicle ran a red light and seriously injured our client

  • $7 million for severe neck and back injuries from an 18-wheeler collision

  • $7 million for devastating injuries from a rear-end car accident

  • $6.9 million for electrocution injuries when a company created shock hazards

  • $6 million for wrongful death from a hydraulic line explosion

  • $4 million for severe neck and back injuries from safety violations

These numbers represent years of medical treatment, lost income, and the complete disruption these injuries caused to real families.

What Makes Your Case Valuable

Louisiana law allows you to recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include your medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages address your pain, suffering, and how the injury changed your daily life.

Your case value depends on specific factors:

  • Severity and permanence of your injuries
  • Your age and earning capacity before the accident
  • Medical treatment required, both past and future
  • How the injury affects your family and relationships
  • Whether the defendant’s conduct was particularly reckless

We work with medical experts who understand how your injuries will progress. We collaborate with economists who calculate your total financial losses accurately. We don’t guess at your case value – we prove it with comprehensive evidence.

The Insurance Company Problem

Insurance adjusters contact accident victims quickly, often while you’re still in the hospital. They seem helpful at first, offering to handle your car repairs and immediate medical bills. They ask for recorded statements and request signed medical releases. They may offer a settlement that sounds generous when you’re facing immediate financial pressure.

Here’s what they don’t tell you: Their timeline differs from your recovery timeline. They need to close your case quickly to control costs. You need time to understand your injury’s full impact. Many serious injuries reveal their true severity weeks or months after the initial trauma.

Once you sign their settlement agreement, you cannot seek additional compensation later, even if your condition worsens.

We handle all communication with insurance companies while you focus on healing. We investigate immediately to preserve evidence that disappears quickly. We calculate your total losses, including future expenses you haven’t yet incurred but will face during recovery.

How We Handle Real Injuries

Immediate Action We begin investigating your case within hours. Evidence disappears quickly after accidents. Witness memories fade. Accident scenes get cleaned up. We preserve everything needed to prove your case while it’s still available.

Medical Documentation We work with your doctors to document how your injuries affect your daily life. We ensure your medical records clearly explain the connection between your accident and your current limitations. We arrange consultations with specialists who understand your long-term prognosis.

Comprehensive Loss Calculation Your compensation should cover all your losses, not just immediate medical bills. We calculate your past and future medical expenses, lost income and earning capacity, property damage, and the non-economic impact on your quality of life.

Negotiation and Trial We present comprehensive documentation of your losses during settlement negotiations. If insurance companies won’t offer fair compensation, we file a lawsuit to protect your rights. We never settle your case without your approval.

Your Legal Rights in Louisiana

Louisiana uses comparative fault in personal injury cases. This means even if you bear some responsibility for the accident, you can still recover compensation as long as your fault is less than the other party’s. Your compensation adjusts proportionally based on each party’s percentage of fault.

Critical Deadline: Louisiana requires you to file your personal injury lawsuit within one year of the accident date. This deadline is firm with very few exceptions. Missing this deadline means you lose your right to pursue compensation through the courts, regardless of how severe your injuries are.

What Happens Next

Free Consultation: We review your case and explain your legal options. We answer your questions and help you understand what to expect from the legal process. This consultation costs nothing, and you’re under no obligation.

No Fees Unless We Win: We charge no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing for our legal services.

We Handle Everything: You focus on recovery while we handle legal deadlines, insurance company demands, and case investigation. We keep you informed about important developments without overwhelming you with unnecessary details.

Time Is Critical

Every day you wait makes your case harder to prove. Evidence disappears. Witnesses become unavailable. Insurance companies use delays against you, claiming your injuries weren’t serious enough to seek legal help immediately.

Louisiana’s one-year statute of limitations means you have limited time to protect your rights. Don’t let insurance companies pressure you into accepting inadequate settlements while this deadline approaches.

You Don’t Have to Face This Alone

Your injuries are real. Your financial losses matter. Louisiana law provides ways to hold negligent parties accountable and help you rebuild your life. We handle the legal complexities while you focus on recovery.

Call (318) 221-1508 now for your free consultation. We’re available 24/7 because we know accidents don’t happen on schedule. Don’t wait – your time to seek justice is limited, but we’re ready to start protecting your rights today.

Your case evaluation is completely free. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Call now – we’re here to help.

"I quickly, learned two rules in this business.

First, defendants in an injury suit put up obstacles and barriers. They want the case to take as long as possible, because it wears the plaintiff down. I have learned that if you run at those barriers hard enough, and fast enough, many of them will disappear.

Second, "The fastest way to settle a case is to prepare for trial. Insurance companies know which firms will go to court, which will not, and who can win. It is important to choose a firm that is committed to the results you want.”
