Baton Rouge Car Accident Attorney
Immediately after a car accident, a lot of stressful, confusing things begin to happen at the same time. You are in pain and you are trying to get the medical treatment you need. You may be missing work, your car may be totaled, and you may be dealing with multiple insurance companies. You are under a lot of pressure, and you may not know where to turn.
Slow down. During this anxious time, insurance carriers may offer quick money to settle your claim. Don’t accept it. Your doctors are still working on your medical assessment and treatment, and it will take time to determine everything the car accident has cost you. Any settlement or award should cover your immediate and long-term medical needs, lost wages, and any other expenses caused by the accident.
At Duncan & Simon, our goal is to make legal services accessible after a car accident. We offer a free initial consultation where you can discuss your legal concerns with one of our knowledgeable lawyers. Please call our office at 225-341-7187 or 1-866-920-5654 or send an e-mail message.
Car wrecks happen almost daily on our Interstates and surface roads, often due to lack of care at dangerous intersections — such as the access roads to the Mall of Louisiana, Perkins Road, Airline Highway (Louisiana 190), Bluebonnet Boulevard, Coursey Boulevard, Sherwood Forest Boulevard, and Essen Lane.
Car accidents often happen because of careless driving — speeding, talking on cell phones or texting while driving. They are also caused by drunk drivers, defective car parts, and other causes.
Our personal injury attorneys will advocate for you in the following ways:
- Deal directly with insurance companies to prevent waived or undervalued claims
- Work with experts to assess your injuries so you get the treatment you need
- Help evaluate the extent of your personal and financial losses so you can be fully compensated
- Pursue every avenue of recovery, including all defendants and insurance companies involved
- Work aggressively and strategically to maximize your compensation
Strategic investigations after a car accident or serious injury
Immediately after an accident, law enforcement officials and insurance carriers will begin collecting necessary evidence to defend a claim. It is important for you to have an attorney on your side to preserve evidence in your case. Our attorneys will review police reports, witness statements, photos of the accident scene, medical records and any other evidence. We routinely work with experts including accident reconstructionists, financial planners, and other professionals who can assist in producing necessary evidence for your claim. We work with medical and financial experts who can assist in valuing your claim. Read more about our successfully handled claims.
What if I don’t have medical insurance after a car accident?
If you have been in an accident and don't have medical insurance or a regular doctor, we can help. We routinely refer our clients to doctors who can assess their medical histories, gauge the extent of damages, and help to determine the amount of compensation they will need at no out of pocket expense to you.
