We Help Brain Injury Victims Pursue Full Compensation

Brain trauma doesn’t just result in medical bills—it can affect your ability to work, your independence, and your future. When we take on your case, we fight to recover compensation that reflects your complete experience. Damages may include:

  • Medical expenses and rehabilitation
  • Long-term care and support services
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Physical pain and emotional suffering
  • Disability or cognitive impairments
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Our legal team works with medical professionals and financial experts to assess your ongoing needs. We aim to build a claim that accounts for both the immediate costs and the lasting impact of a TBI.

What to Expect When You Work With Us

When you hire a traumatic brain injury lawyer in Baton Rouge from Laborde Earles, you’re getting more than legal representation—you’re getting a team committed to your recovery and results.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Thorough investigation: We collect evidence, interview witnesses, and examine the circumstances surrounding your injury to build a strong case.
  • Case preparation and documentation: Our team handles all filings, documentation, and case-related communications on your behalf.
  • Settlement negotiations: We engage with insurance companies to seek a resolution that reflects your damages. If necessary, we’re prepared to go to trial.
  • Consistent communication: We keep you informed and empowered throughout the process.
  • No upfront costs: You only pay if we recover compensation for you. Our contingency fee model ensures accessible legal help when you need it most.

Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries in Baton Rouge

We represent clients who have suffered brain trauma in a variety of serious accidents, including:

  • Car accidents: Whether from a rear-end crash or a high-speed collision, vehicle accidents are a leading cause of TBIs.
  • Truck accidents: The force and weight involved in commercial vehicle crashes can cause severe, long-term harm.
  • Motorcycle wrecks: Even with a helmet, riders are especially vulnerable to head trauma in an accident.
  • Workplace incidents: Especially in construction or industrial settings, job site hazards can lead to head injuries.
  • Slip and fall accidents: While we’re not currently taking new slip and fall cases, these incidents are still a known cause of brain trauma in general.
  • Assaults and violent acts: Blunt force trauma to the head can result from criminal behavior or reckless actions.
  • Recreational injuries: Sports and outdoor activities sometimes result in serious accidents that impact the brain.

No matter how your injury occurred, our role is to determine whether another party’s negligence played a role—and if so, to hold them accountable.

How a Brain Injury Can Affect Your Daily Life

A traumatic brain injury can disrupt nearly every aspect of a person’s life, from physical mobility to emotional stability. Many individuals experience ongoing symptoms such as chronic headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or memory loss. These issues can interfere with work, education, and everyday responsibilities—making even routine tasks a challenge.

As traumatic brain injury attorneys in Baton Rouge, we understand how deeply these effects can be felt by both the injured individual and their family. Loss of independence, changes in mood or personality, and the need for ongoing care can take a significant toll.

How Long Do You Have to File a TBI Lawsuit in Louisiana?

Thanks to recent changes in state law, you now have two years from the date of the incident to file most personal injury claims in Louisiana. The statute of limitations applies to cases involving brain trauma, car accidents, and other non-product-related injuries.

If your case involves a wrongful death, the deadline remains one year from the date of your loved one’s passing. While this extended timeline gives victims more room to act, it’s still crucial to get started as soon as possible. The sooner we can begin gathering evidence and building your case, the stronger your claim will be.

At the very first meeting with Alexis and Danielle they took the time to explain everything to us so that we understood what we were going to go through. They checked in on us to see how things were going with DR appointment and therapy. They checked in on the phone or by text and if I had a question and I was in Lafayette and I would stop by the office one of them would come to answer my questions. I truly appreciate the response and respect that they showed to me and my husband and I would really recommend them to family and friends.

I am able to witness Karely Cornwell handle calls from people who are in need of Laborde Earles services. She is always polite and professional.
