Comprehensive Services in Your Neighborhood

When an accident is meant to leave you without anything, proving the extent of your injuries or other damages can be harder than it should be. Our goal is to review that burden, reveal how your injury deserves that compensation amount, and stand by you every step of the way to your recovery.

Embarking on a personal injury case often means facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Whether you are looking to build a case on your own behalf or recoup some general damages from your insurance holder, our team can be the steadfast advocates in your corner.

We can help you with all types of accident cases, including;

• Vehicle Accidents: Car,truck, and motorcycle wrecks tend to be the most common sources of personal injury, making them viable for claims. Our team can help you navigate your right to compensation should you have an accident on the road due to another negligent driver.

• Slip & Falls: When you are on someone else’s property, you expect them to have kept it safely maintained. This can mean so much more than picking up trash; it often involves things like keeping the sidewalk clear of constricting trees or maintaining safe conditions at places like swimming pools or sports facilities. If you are injured by the poor management of another property, you may be eligible to make a claim.

• Work Injuries: Most accident injuries stem from workplace negligence, so our team is often helping clients around the state make sense of their rights after a preventable accident. We can help you make a claim for damages and build a valid third-party liability case that holds the responsible party’s feet to the fire.

• Catastrophic Injuries: Cases involving “catastrophic injuries” such as paralysis, disfigurement, or brain damage can be challenging to navigate precisely because they tend to involve so much liability. Most insurance plans, including major medical ones, have stringent caps on claims; meaning what they will pay in benefits for your catastrophic injury has a cutoff. Our team can help you build a reliable claim rooted in maximum damages so you can get the most out of your recovery.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Victims of personal injury may be eligible to recover compensation for:

• Medical Expenses: Current and future treatment costs.
• Lost Wages: Income lost during recovery and diminished earning capacity.
• Pain and Suffering: Emotional and physical distress caused by the injury.
• Property Damage: Costs of repairing or replacing damaged property.
• Punitive Damages: In cases of egregious negligence.

Personal Injury FAQ

What should I do immediately after an accident?

After an accident, prioritize your safety and health. Seek medical attention, report the incident, document evidence such as photos and witness contact information, and consult an attorney before speaking with insurance companies.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Louisiana?

Louisiana has a one-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, meaning you must file your claim within one year of the incident to protect your legal rights.

What if I can’t afford a lawyer?

At the Law Office of Ivan J. Thompson, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we win your case. This ensures you can access quality legal representation without upfront costs.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

The value of your case depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and the impact on your quality of life. We provide an honest evaluation during your consultation.

Do I need to go to court for my personal injury case?

Many personal injury cases are settled outside of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
