WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

Personal injury claims seek compensation for physical and emotional harm caused by another party’s negligence or misconduct. These cases often arise from vehicle accidents, workplace incidents, unsafe property conditions, defective products, and other preventable events.

HOW PERSONAL INJURY CASES HAPPEN

Personal injuries can occur in many ways, but they often share one common factor: someone failed to follow safety rules or act with reasonable care. Common causes of personal injury claims include:

  • Motor vehicle and trucking accidents
  • Workplace and industrial accidents
  • Dangerous or defective products
  • Slip and fall and premises liability incidents
  • Exposure to hazardous or toxic materials

Our attorneys investigate how your injury occurred and identify all responsible parties, including individuals, corporations, contractors, and insurers.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

You may have a personal injury case if you were harmed due to someone else’s negligence and suffered measurable damages such as medical expenses, lost income, or long-term health effects.

In Louisiana, there is a two-year prescription period that applies to any personal injuries sustained on or after July 1, 2024. Any injuries that occurred before July 1, 2024, are governed by a one-year deadline from the date of incident. Missing this deadline may prevent you from recovering compensation.

Louisiana now uses a modified comparative fault system, with a 51% bar rule. If you are injured in an accident, your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are found to be 51% or more at fault, you are legally barred from recovering compensation.

Complex cases often involve industrial accidents, toxic exposure, defective products, multiple defendants, or serious and permanent injuries.

Compensation may include medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of earning capacity, and future care expenses.
