Personal Injury

New Orleans Personal Injury Lawyer

Serious injuries can alter one’s life in unimaginable ways. For example, a traumatic brain injury could result in permanent disability such as:

• Behavioral changes (irritability, emotional instability)
• Cognitive impairments (loss of memory, trouble concentrating)
• Physical symptoms (nausea, dizziness)

Aside from the physical and mental suffering, the financial impact can be equally as devastating.

Perhaps the most tragic part of so many severe injuries is that they were caused by the negligence of others and could have been prevented if the responsible party had taken reasonable actions.

Paying for medical expenses, missing work, and adjusting to a diminished quality of life are just some of the issues that many personal injury victims cope within the wake of a severe or catastrophic accident. Many victims are overwhelmed with such hardship that a legal fight to receive the compensation that they rightfully deserve might seem unbearable.

For that reason, too many people choose to settle for an amount that will never be adequate to cover their losses and damages.

As dedicated and passionate personal injury lawyers, we have helped a substantial number of clients recover maximum compensation.

Some of the types of personal injury cases we commonly handle are listed below:

Traffic Accidents

• 18-wheeler accidents – A collision with an 18-Wheeler or even a smaller truck can cause catastrophic damage and even result in death. Due to the inherent obligation of trucking companies to ensure that their drivers are well-trained and vehicles are regulated, companies may be held at fault. However, you can also be held liable depending on the case. For victims of such accidents, having to go against a truck company without a lawyer can be challenging and frustrating.
• Slip and Falls – Often occurring in the workplace or other public areas, slips and falls can result in injury (such as back injuries and paralysis) and be hard to prove. Winning a slip and fall claim requires that negligence is proved.
• Uber accidents – Unlike taxis, Uber has a limitation of liability clause that app users are required to agree within their terms of conditions. In the case of an accident, you may even end up negotiating with Uber’s insurance company that might try to limit your claim or outright deny it. If you’ve been involved in an accident with an Uber driver, you should contact us Favret Law Firm first.
• Lyft accidents – If you are hit by or have been in an accident involving a Lyft driver, the circumstances of your accident will determine if Lyft or the driver is liable. In many cases, you won’t be able to sue Lyft directly. However, if you are hit by a car driven by a Lyft driver while the driver is on duty, your insurance company can reach out to Lyft’s insurance as the company has a $1,000,000 per accident limit for their liability insurance.
• Motorcycle accidents – If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident and were not at fault, you could have a claim for compensation (including injuries, travel costs that resulted from the loss of transportation, loss of earnings, and medical costs).
• Pedestrian accidents – Accidents involving pedestrians have the potential of being more serious (including a higher risk of serious head, spinal or brain injury) as pedestrians naturally have less protection than a driver sitting in a vehicle. Because of the increased risk for the pedestrian and the presumed responsibility on the part of motorists, you could have a great claim.
