Personal injuries are often life-altering events, whether stemming from a car accident, an industrial accident, or some other unforeseen and harmful incident. These events can go beyond the immediate physical trauma. They can create a ripple effect of hardships that can impact you on multiple fronts. 

The emotional toll of a personal injury can be just as debilitating as the physical pain or discomfort. You may also have to deal with the stress of recovery, financial strain due to lost income, spiraling medical expenses, and the uncertainty of your injury claim. 

In catastrophic injury cases, long-term rehabilitation or permanent disability can alter your lifestyle, independence, and quality of life. This can lead to additional psychological distress for both you and your family. 

The above impacts require immediate and ongoing support and aggressive legal advocacy to help you secure just compensation and a pathway to optimum recovery. 

At the Law Office of Ivan J. Thompson, we understand how challenging such situations can be; our firm has been representing personal injury victims and their families for years. Attorney Thompson is known in the community and among his clients for his empathy, honesty, and integrity; his service is truly personalized to your needs and circumstances. 

We have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for individuals in and around Metairie and the state’s southwest region. The high quality of our representation and client service has led to numerous referrals from satisfied Louisianans; we believe that is the highest compliment that can be paid to a legal professional.

Our Personal Injury Services in Metairie & Jefferson Parish

Personal injuries involve harm to an individual’s body or mind. These injuries stem from various incidents, and their legal processes tend to be complex due to the need to prove negligence, liability, and the extent of injuries. 

Layers of evidence are needed, such as assessing temporary or permanent disability, pain and suffering, and other losses. They must be navigated within statutes of limitations per Louisiana personal injury law. 

Most personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiation. However, if this does not succeed, you need a lawyer who is unafraid to take your case to trial. Our attorney is well-equipped to handle all aspects of the proceedings and eventualities. 

Discuss your case in a free consultation with our Metairie personal injury attorney. You can reach us via our online contact form or call (985) 531-1945 to make an appointment.

Cases We Handle

We handle claims and lawsuits stemming from various accidents based on negligence or wrongdoing or incidents involving deliberate malice, such as criminal attacks. 

These include but are not limited to:

  • Car accidents: These are the most common cause of personal injury claims, often stemming from collisions along Highway 90 and Interstate 10 and other highly trafficked urban areas in our region.
  • Truck accidents: The aftermath of a truck accident often involves a different set of complexities compared to typical car accidents. Due to the size and mass of commercial trucks, collisions can result in more severe injuries and property damage. We can dissect the intricacies of trucking regulations, driver’s logs, and company liability, providing you with robust representation essential for confronting large transportation companies and their insurers.
  • Industrial accidents: The complexity of industrial environments often conceals potential dangers. Our firm has the technical understanding to scrutinize accident reports, safety protocols, and operational failures, ensuring victims of industrial accidents receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
  • Offshore accidents: Maritime workers are covered under different laws than those on land. We’re well-versed in these laws and fight for the rights of those injured in offshore accidents with representation that can navigate these complicated cases.
  • Catastrophic injuries: Injuries deemed catastrophic due to long-term implications require an aggressive legal strategy. We assess and demonstrate the lifelong impact of such injuries, striving for settlements that include ongoing medical care, rehabilitation costs, and quality of life alterations.
  • Wrongful death: The untimely loss of a loved one is a profound event that can impact survivors for years. We file wrongful death claims, seeking to alleviate the financial and psychological burden that families face in the wake of such losses and pursue justice for the deceased.
