Let Our Past Clients Explain How We Can Help
Our firm focuses on helping people who are hurt and injured secure the compensation they deserve. Over the last five years alone, we have recovered more than $25 million in damages on their behalf.
However, you don’t have to take our word that these efforts have been life-changing. You can review our client testimonials to see the impact we have had. Here are a couple of examples:
- Quite honestly one of the best law firms. I’d called countless law firms. I had become more then frustrated with trying to explain to other firms my case. They were the ONLY firm that actually listened to the details of my case. They’ve helped me more in just the intake then all the firms I contacted combined. If you’re looking for a firm that actually sees you as a real person and not just another payout. Then I promise you. You should reach out to them! – Bryan R.
- Best in the game. Respected, honorable, and committed to client success. – John C.
We are proud of our case results, but it is crucial to remember that our past success never guarantees a positive outcome in your case. However, we will work tirelessly to help you get the result you deserve.
What Is My Injury Case Worth?
It is normal to wonder what a settlement might be worth in your case. Each case is unique and requires a thorough review and evaluation of numerous different factors including details of the accident, injuries, medical treatment, recovery, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Many factors determine how a lawsuit plays out—especially if a case goes to trial before a jury. Unfortunately, there is no way to know with 100% certainty how a jury will rule; however, we have put together a playbook on how to best predict a potential outcome based on all of the information and fact-gathering we do during your case.
While our firm (and neither should any law firm, for that matter) does not make any promises about recovering specific compensation amounts, we can help you understand what are possible outcomes, results, and amounts of compensation to be recovered in your case.
Again, various categories of compensation may be available to you depending on the facts of the case. Some of the most common examples include the following:
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost income – past, present, and future lost wages
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
- Diminished future earning power
- Disfigurement
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life
- Loss of Consortium (if you have a spouse who has suffered individually from your accident)
Our firm carefully evaluates the extent of your injuries and meets with your medical doctors to determine the types of compensation you can receive. We work tirelessly to help you get the absolutely best and most out of your case. Contact us today to learn more.

What does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in New Orleans?
Nothing unless we recover money for you! And even then, you do not come out of pocket one penny ($.01) at any time during the case! Although attorneys have developed a reputation for being costly, you might be surprised to learn how affordable working with a New Orleans personal injury lawyer can be.
Our firm takes each case on a contingency fee basis. That means we get to work immediately instead of billing by the hour or charging a flat fee upfront.
Our fee comes only at the end of the case after we obtain a settlement or verdict on your behalf, and our fees are paid out of the money we collect for you on your behalf. Thus, if we do not secure compensation for your injuries, you owe us nothing.
This approach means we carry the risk when you pursue your personal injury lawsuit. Stated differently, we invest our time and money in you and your case, which is why in our office we reject more cases than we accept.
We perform our detailed intake evaluation to make sure your case has merit and we have a path to victory for you – otherwise we are simply wasting your time.
We Handle All Types of Personal Injury Cases
A New Orleans personal injury lawyer can assist you with a wide range of challenging circumstances. The right approach could ensure you receive compensation for your injury at the highest level. The team at Poolson | Oden Injury Lawyers can assist with the following types of cases.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Collisions involving cars, ride-share vehicles, trucks, motorcycles, bikes, and pedestrians are the most common cause of personal injury lawsuits. These accidents can result in significant injuries due to the force generated when these large vehicles collide.
For example, our team can pursue legal action if a drunk driver caused your accident, or if it is due to a motorist failing to yield the right-of-way, or making a dangerous left-hand turn or even rear-ending you..
Slip and Fall Accidents
According to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI), falls lead to approximately 8 million emergency room visits every year. They can happen anywhere, from a grocery store to a public sidewalk.
While some of these incidents are unavoidable, many occur because of a dangerous hazard. Issues like cracked pavement, slippery floors, or poor lighting that someone could have addressed prior to your fall could result in liability for the property owner or business establishment.
Medical Malpractice
Doctors, surgeons, and medical professionals hold their patients’ lives in their hands. When they make an avoidable error, the results can be catastrophic.
However, not every bad outcome of a medical procedure signifies malpractice. Some bad results are unavoidable despite the doctor’s best efforts. To recover compensation in these scenarios, you must show that the medical professional failed to meet the standard of care that a doctor of similar experience would have provided.
Although we do not handle medical malpractice cases, we have a network of attorneys we work with whom we can connect you to if you think you may have a medical malpractice claim or case.
