Contact Our Louisiana Attorneys After Injuries Involving Brain or Spinal Cord Injury

Over the years, the Louisiana personal injury law firm of Broussard & Hart, L.L.C., has recovered more than $80 million for injury victims and surviving family members of fatal accident victims.

It takes a specific set of skills to thoroughly handle serious personal injury cases involving permanent disability claims after accidents resulting in total disability. Broussard & Hart has a record of accomplishing fair settlements for serious injury victims — settlements that answer questions like:

• How are we going to pay all the hospital and surgery bills?
• Can we afford physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy?
• How are we going to pay our bills without the accident victim's income?
• How can we afford to remodel the house to accommodate a wheelchair?
• Can we afford home health care services and assistive devices?

Why do serious personal injury cases take longer to resolve?

Personal injury claims after serious injury accidents can take many months to resolve. The timeline is not intended to disrespect our clients but to ensure that each client gets the maximum possible compensation.

The insurance settlement or personal injury lawsuit is the only opportunity to seek compensation for all the costs associated with the accident and the injuries.

• An accident victim who suffered a serious traumatic brain injury may need months of speech and cognitive therapy, vocational retraining, or even constant medical supervision. The settlement amount may include funds to pay these costs, but first we have to consult life care planners and medical experts to determine what medical care is necessary and how much it will cost.
• An accident victim who suffers a major spinal cord injury may have to use a wheelchair due to full or partial paralysis. His or her house may need renovations to accommodate a wheelchair. If the accident survivor is living with quadriplegia, he or she may need a home health care aide to help with the activities of daily living. The settlement may include compensation for these necessary expenses, but we need to calculate the total cost.
• A person who suffers an injury that resulted in amputation will almost certainly require multiple surgeries and prosthetic devices. Prosthetic devices need replacing and adjusting over a person's lifetime. The settlement may pay these costs, but we need to determine what they are.
• A burn injury survivor also has special medical needs, including multiple surgeries to reduce scarring, pain management therapy, and often psychological therapy to address the emotional impact of the fire and resulting scarring.
