Auto Accidents – We represent drivers or passengers that were injured in auto accidents that arise from rear-end collisions, multi-vehicle collisions, drunk driver accidents, hit and run accidents, and many more types of accidents. Accidents can occur in a number of different ways and insurance companies like to try and accept as little responsibility as possible. This is why it is important to get an attorney as quickly as possible following your accident. An attorney will not only ensure that you get the proper treatment, but we will make sure the insurance company treats you fairly. We will work hard to make sure you get the proper compensation for your pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
18-Wheeler Accidents – Regardless of the specific cause of an 18 wheeler accident, the results can be devastating. The injuries that result from 18 wheeler accidents often leave victims with very high medical bills, permanent disabilities, a significant amount of lost wages, and a lot of emotional distress. It is important to seek not only medical help following this kind of accident but legal help as well. You need an experienced lawyer that knows how to deal with these commercial carriers and who can help put your stress at ease.
Hit and Run – A hit and run auto accident happens when there is some type of collision and the at-fault driver flees the scene. It is illegal to not stop and provide your information after an accident. If this happens to you, you should try to get the license plate, immediately call the police, get the name and address of all witnesses, take photographs of the scene, describe the scene in writing, contact your insurance company, and contact a car accident attorney. Often it is hard to identify the person responsible for a hit and run, especially without the license plate. That is why it is important to write down as much information as possible and contact an attorney who can collect the relevant information and try to locate the responsible driver.
Uninsured Motorist – Louisiana law requires you to carry insurance on your vehicle. Unfortunately, most insurance companies don’t inform you about “UM” insurance. UM stands for uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. This means that if you are involved in an accident with someone who doesn’t have insurance, but you have UM insurance, you will most likely still be covered for your property damage and injures. UM insurance also protects you in the event that the person you were in an accident with doesn’t have enough insurance to cover your injuries and property damage. A good attorney knows the applicable laws to UM insurance. You should also call your insurance company to make sure that you have this additional insurance as it is very cost-effective.
Motorcycle Accidents – Although motorcycles can be fun to ride, they are often the victim of negligent drivers that do not see them or drive dangerously. If you are ever injured in a motorcycle accident, you should contact an attorney that knows this area of the law and who can help get you the proper medical treatment. A competent motorcycle accident attorney can prove that you were the victim in these such cases.
