Common questions

Personal injury questions, answered


Knowing your rights, and what to do and not do after you’re hurt, can protect your claim. Every case is different, so these are general answers, not legal advice for your situation. For that, talk with one of our attorneys.

More frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

If you or a loved one were hurt because someone else acted negligently (or intentionally), you may have a claim. A free case evaluation is the first step.

What should I do right after being injured in an accident?

Get medical care first, even if you feel okay. Then document the scene with photos or video, get the names of any witnesses, call the police if appropriate, and talk to a lawyer before you give any statement to an insurance company.

Should I talk to the insurance company before hiring an attorney?

It’s best not to. Insurance adjusters may use your words against you or push you to settle for less. Talk with a personal injury lawyer first so your rights are protected before you give a recorded statement or sign anything.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Louisiana?

For most injuries from 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, like medical malpractice and workers’ compensation, have their own deadlines. Evidence disappears quickly, so it’s best to talk to a lawyer as soon as you can.

I’ve filed with my insurance. Is there anything else I need to do?

Keep a written daily diary of the aftermath. Write down everything that happened in the accident and at your first medical exams, then track your recovery and the ways your injuries affect everyday life. That record can be invaluable later, especially if your case goes to trial.

What kinds of compensation can I seek after an accident?

You may be able to recover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, future rehabilitation costs and other losses connected to the accident and your injuries.

What evidence is useful in a personal injury case?

Photos or video of the scene, names and contact information for witnesses, medical records and treatment history, police or incident reports, and records of lost wages or expenses you’ve paid.

Can I negotiate a settlement on my own?

You can, but never accept a settlement offer before talking with an attorney. Many early offers don’t fully account for future medical costs or lost earning potential.

What mistakes should I avoid after an accident?

Avoid admitting fault, posting details on social media, or accepting a quick settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Any of these can seriously hurt your claim and reduce your compensation.
