Personal Injury

There are many different types of personal injury lawyers in Louisiana. You may be asking yourself, what is personal injury law? Personal injury law is the practice of helping individuals recover to the fullest extent of their rights after they have suffered an injury. As you are aware, injuries can occur in many different ways and there are varying degrees and types of injuries.

How an injury occurs can often determine your rights to recovery. In Louisiana, we are a comparative fault state. This means when assessing who is responsible for an accident, we assign percentages to all potential at fault parties. This means a number of things. For example, even if you are partially at fault for an accident, you can still legally make a recovery. Further, this means there may be multiple parties who are responsible for your injury.

This is why it is so important to consult a lawyer after a personal injury case. Most people are hesitant to hire a personal injury lawyer because they think they can handle the case on their own and make more money. However, studies show that is not the case. Even after paying legal fees, independent studies suggest people make more money than if they were to handle the case on their own.

Louisiana personal injury lawyers work on contingency fees. This means you do not pay anything upfront, and if your case is lost, you do not owe your lawyer a penny. However, if you are successful, then the attorney takes a percentage of your recovery. Contingency fees put all the risk on the attorney doing the work and ensure your attorney is zealously pursing your case.

The value of your case will depend on the type and extent of injuries you sustained. At Manard Law, we pride ourselves in making sure our clients receive the best medical care.
