Personal Injury Attorney Services In Baton Rouge
Transportation Accidents
Transportation accidents have a wide range of severity and complexity. A simple fender bender with little or no injury most likely does not require legal representation. On the other hand, a serious automobile accident may absolutely require legal assistance. The last thing a family wants to do while caring for a seriously injured family member or grieving over the death of a loved one is to choose an attorney to represent them. Unfortunately, the longer the family waits, the more likely it is that valuable evidence is lost, destroyed and/or manipulated in favor of the defendant.

Wrongful Death
When the unthinkable happens, you need someone with the experience and knowledge to give you real world advice and answer your questions. Accidents involving serious injury or death lead to immediate in-depth investigations by insurance companies, state and federal investigative agencies, third-party investigators and company investigators. If you are unrepresented or under-represented, your rights may not be protected. Hire attorneys who understand your loss and can protect you and your family from being hurt by delay or inexperience.
