We Work to Win Your Case
Personal injury law focuses on the disputes that arise when one person is harmed because of another individual’s negligent or intentional conduct. While there are a number of circumstances that may lead to an injury, most cases occur because of accidents, intentional acts, or defective products. Unlike other types of cases, personal injury law allows victims to recover because of injuries to their bodies and emotional or psychological trauma.
Auto accidents can leave victims with devastating and costly injuries. Some auto accidents are more immediately dangerous than others, although even minor accidents can cause long-lasting pain and injury.
Large trucks are involved in vehicle collisions on a daily basis, and the consequences can be devastating. The long hours, empty roads, and limited sleep, however, can take a toll and can cause serious accidents.
Making up more than their fair share of all traffic accidents as compared to the number of motorcycles on the road at any given time, motorcycle accidents are unfortunately extremely common in Louisiana.
Even when following the laws of walking in a crosswalk, pedestrians are at a great risk of being hit. Distracted drivers, drunk drivers, and even "safe" drivers can change lives within seconds.
Boating accidents can be caused by negligence, recklessness, or defective equipment. Boating requires a degree of care for both the operators and passengers on the boat. One careless act can quickly become a disaster.
Defective product cases involve a variety of cases. Including vehicle-related defects, consumer products, dangerous drugs and vaccines, tobacco products, food poisoning, and workplace or industrial product defects.
Accidents on the job leave workers and families struggling to make ends meet. Our Louisiana injury attorney stands strong for workers who have been seriously hurt, injured, or permanently disabled in job-related accidents.
Dog bites can be traumatic for everyone involved, including the dog. Dog owners must ensure that they take appropriate precautions to keep other people safe from attacks in public as well as while they are guests at their home.

If you are injured due to an accident in the State of Louisiana, you (the injured or plaintiff) have to prove negligence. Negligence means that someone acted carelessly under circumstances and harmed another person.
Your Lafayette personal injury lawyer will work with you to establish the four elements of negligence. Those four elements are:
The defendant must owe a legal duty of care to the plaintiff. For example, drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles responsibly, and property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises.
The plaintiff must show that the defendant breached their duty of care. This means the defendant’s actions or lack of action fell below the expected standard of care.
The plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant’s breach of duty caused their injuries. This requires establishing a direct link between the defendant’s actions and the harm suffered by the plaintiff.
The plaintiff must provide evidence of the actual damages they have suffered as a result of the defendant’s negligence. These can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
Does every claim have to go to court?
Not every case goes to court. In many cases, we can negotiate a favorable settlement with the insurance company. However, when the insurance company offers less than your case is worth, we are fully prepared to take your case to court to fight for the compensation you deserve.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
Each state in the U.S. has implemented a statute of limitations in regard to filing a personal injury lawsuit. This means that an injured victim only has a certain amount of time to pursue legal action in the hopes of recovering compensation. In the state of Louisiana, the statute of limitations only allows an individual one year from the date that they were injured to initiate the legal process. This is applicable for all personal injury claims, including any instance of medical malpractice, product liability, and/or a wrongful death.
When should I seek medical treatment for an injury?
You should seek medical attention as soon as possible following a truck, car, taxi, motorcycle, or bicycle accident. A doctor will be able to treat your immediate injuries and assess any health issues that may arise in the future as a result of an accident.
What type of cases are considered personal injury?
These cases are incidents in which injuries or deaths have occurred as a result of another’s carelessness, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing. The other person’s negligence may be the result of a motor vehicle accident, a slip and fall, or many other possible events.
