Fighting for Maximum Compensation for Every Injury Type

Whether your case is complicated or seems straightforward, our Ouachita Parish personal injury attorneys give every client the same intense focus and dedication. We're here to guide you through the process and fight for the compensation you need to get back on your feet.

  • Car Accidents

    Our car accident attorneys cut through insurance company delays and excuses, building solid cases that capture the true cost of your injuries, lost time, and disrupted plans.

  • Truck Accidents

    Our truck accident lawyers look deep into driver records, company policies, and federal rules to uncover the carelessness that led to your crash. We hold transportation companies accountable for putting profits ahead of public safety.

  • Motorcycle Accidents

    Motorcycle riders face unique dangers on Louisiana roads, and unfortunately, they also face unfair assumptions after accidents. We methodically prove fault and document the full extent of your injuries, making sure your claim receives the serious attention it deserves.

  • Catastrophic Injuries

    We work with medical professionals and life care planners to project future needs, fighting for settlements that provide long-term financial security rather than quick fixes that leave families struggling years down the road.

  • Additional Personal Injury Cases We Handle

    Our skilled personal injury attorneys have successfully represented Ouachita Parish families across the full spectrum of injury cases, including:

    • Wrongful death claims
    • Traumatic brain injuries
    • Spinal cord injuries
    • Premises liability incidents
    • Dog attacks and animal injuries
