Frequently Asked Questions
About Personal Injury Cases in Caddo Parish
First, seek medical care immediately. Document everything by taking photos of your injuries and the accident scene if possible. Get contact information from any witnesses. Don't give statements to insurance companies or accept any offers. Instead, call our team at (318) 222-2772. We'll guide you through the next steps and protect your rights from day one.
Louisiana's laws are changing. For accidents before July 1, 2024, you have just one year. After that, you'll have two years. But waiting can seriously damage your case — evidence disappears and witnesses' memories fade.
Never accept an insurance company's first offer without legal review. Initial offers are typically far below what your case is actually worth, and once you accept, you can't ask for more — even if your injuries worsen.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages (past and future), pain and suffering, and property damage. In cases of severe negligence, additional punitive damages may be available.
The total value depends on factors like injury severity, long-term impact, and available insurance coverage. We'll carefully evaluate all aspects to ensure we pursue full compensation for your losses.
Louisiana's comparative fault law means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Our job is to minimize your fault and maximize your recovery.
Most cases settle within 6-12 months, though complex cases may take longer. The timeline depends on your recovery period and whether we need to go to trial to secure fair compensation. We'll work efficiently while ensuring we never sacrifice the value of your case for a quick resolution.
