What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim is a legal action taken by a person who has suffered harm from the careless or reckless actions of another. The core of a personal injury case is the legal principle of “negligence.” To succeed, we must prove that the at-fault party had a duty to act with reasonable care, breached that duty, and that this breach directly caused your injuries and resulting damages.

At LKSA Law Firm, our New Orleans injury attorneys have decades of experience investigating accidents, gathering evidence, and building powerful cases to prove negligence. We understand that an injury can impact every aspect of your life — from your health and finances to your family’s well-being. Our mission is to lift the legal burden from your shoulders so you can focus on what matters most: your recovery.

Our Focus on Serious and Catastrophic Injury Cases

With a legacy of trial excellence, our personal injury law firm is equipped to handle a wide range of complex and serious injury claims. We focus our practice on cases where we can make a significant difference in our clients’ lives.

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – A brain injury can have lifelong consequences. We are dedicated to helping TBI victims secure the resources they need for ongoing care and a stable future.
  • Catastrophic Injuries – For the most severe injuries, including spinal cord damage, amputations, and severe burns, we provide formidable representation to help rebuild lives.
  • Wrongful Death – We offer compassionate and determined legal support for families seeking justice and financial stability after the tragic loss of a loved one due to negligence.
  • Medical Malpractice – When healthcare professionals fail in their duty of care, causing profound harm, we hold them accountable.

Our firm also has a wealth of experience in other serious accident claims. If you have been seriously injured, do not hesitate to contact our accident lawyers.

Securing the Financial Resources You Need to Move Forward

A successful personal injury claim can provide the financial resources necessary to cover the immense costs associated with a serious accident. Our attorneys will conduct a thorough assessment of all your losses to pursue the maximum compensation available, which can include:

  • All Past and Future Medical Expenses
  • Lost Wages and Diminished Earning Capacity
  • Pain, Suffering, and Emotional Distress
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life
  • Disfigurement and Permanent Impairment
  • Property Damage

Our legal team works diligently to ensure that no aspect of your suffering is overlooked.

A key component of any personal injury case is calculating the client’s ‘damages’ — the financial, physical, and emotional losses they have suffered. Our attorneys have created a video explaining this critical process.

For cases involving catastrophic, life-altering injuries, our firm utilizes detailed life care plans to ensure our clients’ lifelong needs are fully secured.

Personal Injury FAQs: Your Questions Answered

After an accident, you likely have many questions. Here are some common inquiries answered by our New Orleans injury attorney team:

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront costs, and we only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing.

In Louisiana, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is a very strict two years from the date of the injury. It is critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible after an accident to ensure your right to file a claim is protected. Learn more about these critical legal deadlines here.

You should never accept an initial settlement offer without consulting an attorney. Insurance companies often make low offers to resolve claims for less than they are worth. An experienced attorney can assess the true value of your claim and negotiate for a fair settlement that covers all your past, present, and future needs.

The value of a personal injury case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical treatment, the amount of your lost wages, and the impact on your quality of life. During your free consultation, we can begin to evaluate these factors and give you a better understanding of the potential value of your claim.
