Louisiana Auto Accident Attorneys

People injured in auto accident on Louisiana’s streets and highways are unfairly subjected to a whole host of life-complicating realities.


Your daily routine can be drastically disrupted for weeks or months as you recover. During that time, you may be unable to work, care for your family, or fulfill your other obligations. You’ll also be forced to cope with physical discomfort and emotional suffering while your daily living expenses (utilities, rent, groceries, etc.) and medical bills pile up.


No injury is good, but being forced to endure all that inconvenience because some other motorist on the road was simply being careless, reckless, or negligent makes the situation feel personal. Attorney Mike Brandner knows what it’s like because he’s personally been through it before. That’s one of the reasons our team will be completely committed to aggressively advocating on your behalf.


We understand how the insurance company negotiates and thinks, and our trial attorneys aren’t afraid to take defendants and their insurance companies to court if they refuse to come to a fair claim payment agreement.

 

Auto Accident Practice Areas


Our comprehensive auto accident practice areas include:

Our attorneys also provide experienced DWI defense representation to people who have been pulled over for suspected driving while intoxicated. You’re innocent until proven guilty, and there are many potential defense strategies that may result in charge reduction, dismissal, or advantageous plea deals.


What Should I Do if I am Involved in an Auto Accident in Louisiana?


First, you should contact the police and seek medical attention if needed. Failing to promptly receive a professional medical injury diagnosis may complicate your ability to file an injury claim in the future.


It is also important to document the scene of the accident by taking photos and getting the contact information of any witnesses. You should also exchange insurance information with the other driver and contact your insurance company to start the claim.


When speaking with law enforcement or the other driver, avoid apologizing or saying anything that suggests you played a part in causing the accident. Even an involuntary “sorry” could be interpreted as an admission of fault.

What Our Clients Say

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Louisiana Auto Accident Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Much Time Do I Have to File an Auto Accident Claim in Louisiana?

    The statute of limitations in Louisiana is one year from the date of the accident to file a claim. It is important to remember that if you fail to take legal action within the statute of limitations, you will lose your right to seek compensation in the future. 

  • Who Is Responsible for Paying for My Medical Bills after an Auto Accident in Louisiana?

    Generally, the other driver’s insurance company is responsible for paying your medical bills. However, if you have medical payments coverage on your own insurance policy, that may also cover some or all of your medical expenses. 

  • If I Negotiate a Claim Payment from the At-Fault Driver’s Insurer, Do I Need to Pay Back My Other Insurance Providers?

    Yes, your health insurer or auto insurance company will expect to be paid by the at-fault party for the costs they incurred paying for your initial medical costs and property damage. A lien may be placed on your eventual claim payment to ensure they are compensated. Speak more with your auto accident lawyer about the various expenses and costs that may be paid out of your eventual claim payment. 

  • Can I File a Lawsuit if I am Injured in an Auto Accident in Louisiana?

    Yes, you may be able to file a lawsuit. In most cases, insurance companies will prefer to negotiate a fair claim payment outside of a courtroom setting. Trials are expensive, and it’s usually more affordable to reach a compromise than proceed with a trial. However, if the insurance company is unwilling to pay what you should be owed or acknowledge their policy holder’s fault, it may be necessary to proceed with a lawsuit.
