Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I suffered a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence?
Seek immediate medical care, even if symptoms seem mild. Brain injuries can worsen quickly without treatment. Document the incident if possible, collect witness contact information, and preserve any evidence. Contact a personal injury attorney quickly to protect your rights.
Can I sue for a brain injury caused by a defective product?
Yes. If a defective product, such as a faulty helmet, vehicle part, or medical device, led to your brain injury, you may have grounds for a product liability claim. Our team can investigate the defect and pursue compensation from the responsible manufacturers.
How long do I have to file a brain injury lawsuit?
In Louisiana, depending on what caused your brain injury, you may have one year or two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Because brain injury cases require detailed evidence and expert testimony, it’s critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Do I need to prove negligence in a brain injury case?
Yes, most cases require showing that another party’s negligence caused your injury. This might involve a reckless driver, a careless employer, or a manufacturer that produced a dangerous product. We partner with medical and accident forensic experts to build a strong case for you.
What kind of compensation can I recover in a brain injury lawsuit?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, ongoing therapy, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and long-term care needs.
Will my brain injury case go to trial?
Many personal injury cases are resolved through negotiation and settlements, but we prepare every brain injury case for trial from the start. If a fair settlement isn’t possible, we are fully prepared to present your case to a jury.
How much is my brain injury case worth?
The value of a brain injury case depends on factors like the severity of the injury, your prognosis, future care costs, and how your injury affects your life. During your free consultation, we’ll evaluate your case and discuss what fair compensation could look like.
