The steps you take in the first hours and days protect both your health and your claim:
- Make sure everyone is safe and call 911 if needed.
- Get medical attention, even if you feel okay.
- Call the police and ask for a report.
- Photograph the scene, the vehicles and your injuries.
- Exchange contact and insurance information.
- Don’t admit fault, apologize or discuss blame.
Then talk to a lawyer before you give any statement to an insurance company.

It’s best not to give a recorded statement without your attorney. Insurance adjusters can use your words against you, even if you weren’t at fault.
And never accept a settlement offer before talking with an attorney. Early offers often don’t cover future medical care or lost wages.
Insurance companies move fast. So should you.
Insurers know the tricks to lessen their liability early on, and Louisiana law has hurdles that can make a fair settlement harder to get. Our attorneys know them too.
What feels like a minor injury today can turn into a serious one tomorrow.
Quick, low settlement offers
Early offers rarely account for future medical care, lost wages or long-term effects of your injuries.
Recorded statements
Adjusters may use your own words to shift blame onto you, even when you weren’t at fault.
Questioning your injuries
Gaps in medical treatment give insurers a reason to question how badly you were hurt.
What can I recover after a car accident?
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to recover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Other costs related to the accident and your injuries
Every case is different. A free case evaluation is the best way to understand what yours may be worth.

More frequently asked questionsHow long do I have to file a claim after a car accident in Louisiana?
For most accidents on or after July 1, 2024, Louisiana law gives you two years to file suit. Accidents before that date generally had a one-year deadline, and some claims have other rules. Evidence disappears quickly, so it’s best to talk to a lawyer as soon as you can.
Do I need to call the police after a car accident?
Yes. A police report is often required for insurance claims and can be important evidence if fault is disputed.
Can I handle my claim without a lawyer?
You can, but negotiating with insurance companies alone is risky. They may offer a settlement that doesn’t cover future medical expenses or lost wages.
How soon should I contact a car accident attorney?
As soon as possible. Early legal guidance protects your rights and helps preserve evidence before it’s lost.
