Cases We Handle

Lake Charles roads and Louisiana highways become more dangerous due to increased congestion, road construction, and distracted drivers talking or texting. Understanding the cause of an accident and calculating a fair settlement should not simply be left in the hands of the insurance company and their investigators. Reckless and negligent drivers cause all types of accidents resulting in serious to major injuries and sometimes even death. Involved in an automobile accident? We are ready to help.

The result of an automobile and motorcycle accident can heighten the injuries sustained by the motorcycle rider usually as a result of being thrown from the bike.

Suffered injuries from a motorcycle crash? We may be able to help.

18 wheeler accidents can be horrific and sometimes deadly. A car, van, or SUV is no match for an 18 wheeler maxed out at 80,000 pounds. The interstates and highways in Louisiana are congested and dangerous and if you are injured in an 18 wheeler accident, you need an experienced attorney to represent you fully and help you recover compensation for your injuries. Our team of attorneys will fight to uncover all relevant evidence and information which may have had an impact on the wreck. Call us today!

People who work on navigable rivers, lakes and the high seas have different rights than those who work in land-based jobs. If injury or death occurs as a result of an employer's negligence on a navigable vessel, you may have a claim against either the employer under the federal Jones Act or against another party causing the injury under General Maritime Law.

If you were injured on the job, you are entitled to fair compensation for your injuries and financial strain. All employers in Louisiana are required to carry workers compensation insurance. As an injured worker, you are entitled to receive lost wages and necessary medical treatment, including therapy, prescriptions, and any medical supplies you may require to treat your injury. If you are temporarily disabled due to an on-the-job injury, you are entitled to receive disability payments. If you are left with any permanent disability, you are also entitled to compensation.

The majority of our cases are personal injury and negligence cases. Personal injury is the wrongful injury of one person through the fault of another. When an injury is fatal, the action is for wrongful death. Our firm is large enough to fight even the biggest insurance company, yet small enough to provide our clients with personal, caring service.

The firm has handled many cases involving large groups of plaintiffs injured by the same wrongful conduct. Although some of these cases are appropriate for class action management, many times the firm has decided it is better for the clients to file individual lawsuits, or to join small groups of plaintiffs in several non-class action lawsuits.

Our firm has handled numerous class action lawsuits involving both statewide and nationwide classes. Members of our firm have been appointed by various courts to the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee and as lead counsel for both settlement and litigation classes for a variety of class actions.
