Louisiana Personal Injury Lawyers

Case No. 1:

Our Louisiana personal injury lawyers represented a 23-year-old paraplegic, paralyzed from the waist down in an industrial accident. The client was a forklift operator in a wholesale grocery warehouse in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The law firm proved to the Court's satisfaction that the stand-up forklift was defectively designed because the forklift did not have an operator's compartment door. When the forklift struck an overhead obstruction, the client was ejected from the forklift onto the warehouse floor where overhead debris from the impact fell onto his back, crushing his spine.

The case went all the way to the Louisiana Supreme Court twice. The judgment was finally upheld and paid. The pay off amount was $7,600,000.00.

Case No. 2:

A Baton Rouge chemical plant worker was severely burned in a fire and explosion involving a railroad tank car. After extensive litigation, the law firm was successful in effecting settlement for the client, his wife and minor children which will amount to several million dollars over the lifetime of the clients. The settlement was in the form of cash up front plus tax free annuities payable for the lifetime of the client, guaranteed for twenty years.
