Motor vehicle accidents on New Orleans interstates, expressways, and city streets are among the leading causes of traumatic brain injuries in the area. The sudden impact of a collision — even at moderate speeds — can cause the brain to strike the inside of the skull, resulting in contusions, hemorrhages, and diffuse axonal injuries. Our attorneys pursue full compensation from all responsible parties for the complete range of economic and non-economic losses caused by your injury.

A fall on a wet floor, uneven sidewalk, or broken staircase in a New Orleans business, hotel, or rental property can cause a serious head injury in an instant. When a property owner’s negligence caused the fall that led to your brain injury, our attorneys hold them fully accountable for every resulting loss.

New Orleans’ construction sites, industrial facilities, and port operations present significant risks of head and brain injuries from falls, falling objects, and equipment accidents. When a workplace brain injury results from an employer’s failure to maintain a safe work environment or from a third party’s negligence, injured workers may have claims beyond standard workers’ compensation. Our attorneys evaluate every available avenue of recovery.

Workers injured on vessels, docks, and offshore platforms in and around New Orleans may sustain serious brain injuries from falls, equipment accidents, and explosions. These injuries may be governed by the Jones Act, general maritime law, or the LHWCA — each carrying distinct rights and remedies. Our attorneys are experienced in offshore and maritime brain injury litigation.

When a brain injury results from a violent assault in New Orleans, the victim may pursue a civil personal injury claim against the attacker — and in some cases against a property owner who failed to provide adequate security. Our attorneys help brain injury victims pursue justice through every available legal channel.

Concussions are often dismissed as minor — but for many New Orleans accident victims, the effects are far from minor. Post-concussion syndrome can cause persistent headaches, cognitive difficulties, depression, anxiety, and an inability to work for months or years. Our attorneys take every mild traumatic brain injury seriously and work with neurological experts to document and fully value their long-term impact.

As of July 1, 2024, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Louisiana. Because brain injury cases require extensive medical documentation and expert testimony, contact an attorney as soon as possible.

This is one of the most common tactics used in brain injury cases. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize the severity of brain injuries and push low, early settlements. Our attorneys work with leading neurologists and neuropsychologists to fully document the nature and lifetime impact of your injury and fight back aggressively.

Louisiana follows pure comparative fault. Even if you were partly responsible, you can still recover compensation — your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys fight to ensure your share of fault is not exaggerated by the opposing party.

Nothing upfront. Our brain injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. No upfront costs, no hourly fees, no out-of-pocket expenses.

Yes. Spouses and immediate family members may have separate claims for loss of consortium. Learn more about quality of life damages in Louisiana. When the injured person cannot manage their own affairs, a family member may also bring the primary injury claim on their behalf.
