  • Hospital admissions
  • Rehab and therapy
  • Assistive medical devices

In addition to carefully assessing your recoverable damages, we collect the bills and receipts that prove their monetary value. We also collect tangible evidence of your general damages.

Compensation We Request for Families Following Fatal Accidents in Metairie, LA

The unexpected loss of a loved one can create emotional and financial upheaval. We extend our deepest sympathies to your entire family. Our wrongful death lawyers will also pursue recoverable damages on your family’s behalf.

Louisiana Civil Code § 2315.2 spells out who is eligible to recover wrongful death compensation, such as the decedent’s parents, spouse, and children. This compensation typically includes funeral and burial costs and the loss of financial support, familial support, consortium, love, and affection.

Per Louisiana Civil Code § 2315.1, survival action compensation is available if your loved one succumbed to injuries sustained in an accident. Your loved one could have recovered these damages if they’d filed a personal injury claim, such as medical bills and property damage.

Types of Personal Injury Cases Poolson | Oden Injury Lawyers Handles

Louisiana is an at-fault state, meaning the negligent party in an accident is responsible for your financial losses. Our legal team represents clients injured in the following types of accidents:

  • Car crashes, including rideshare accidents such as Uber(R) and Lyft(R)
  • Large truck collisions
  • On-Duty Work Injuries
  • Oilfield accidents and explosions
  • Construction zone accidents
  • Property damage claims
  • Wrongful death cases
  • Slip and Falls
  • Trips and Falls

You do not have to deal with the financial recovery process alone. We will accept your case on a contingency fee basis. Our fee structure means you do not incur hourly fees or a large retainer. Instead, we are compensated only after you receive your money, and you owe us absolutely nothing if you do not receive a financial recovery.

The Importance of Establishing Negligence in Personal Injury Cases

When our personal injury lawyers serving Metairie assess your case, we listen to your version of events with kindness and compassion. We also glean crucial details that prove your case meets the legal parameters of a personal injury claim.

We prove the at-fault party owed you a duty of care, breached their responsibility to provide it, caused your accident, and triggered your subsequent financial consequences. Contact our Poolson | Oden Injury Lawyers team today to learn more about how we build the strongest possible case for you.

Avoid a Potentially Costly Delay When Filing Your Metairie, Louisiana Lawsuit

You generally have only one year to file your personal injury lawsuit, per Louisiana Civil Code § 3492, or a wrongful death lawsuit, per Louisiana Civil Code § 2315.2.

You could inadvertently put your right to compensation at risk if you don’t file your lawsuit in time. The filing deadline can be challenging to meet on your own since it can change based on the factors of your case. Instead, our legal team will help you avoid the potentially costly consequences of missing the filing deadline.
