Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, our attorneys have extensive experience representing victims across the full spectrum of negligence cases. Whether you were hurt in a car wreck, workplace accident, or due to a defective product, our legal team has the resources to protect your rights.

Kenner Car Accident Lawyer

Auto accidents, whether involving passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, or even pedestrians and cyclists, frequently cause severe injuries that upend lives. Our Kenner car accident lawyers investigate all aspects, gathering evidence to build solid claims against at-fault drivers and their insurers.

Kenner Truck Accident Lawyer

Given their immense size and weight, accidents involving semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other commercial vehicles tend to be particularly catastrophic. Our Kenner truck accident attorneys hold negligent truckers, trucking companies, and their insurers accountable.

Kenner Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle riders lack the safety protections of an enclosed vehicle, making them alarmingly vulnerable in crashes. Our Kenner motorcycle accident lawyers fight aggressively to maximize compensation for injuries like road rash, fractures, and life-threatening head/spine trauma.

Kenner Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

When motorists fail to yield or watch for pedestrians, the human body stands little chance against the force of a 4,000+ pound vehicle. Our Kenner pedestrian accident attorneys represent those struck while walking, running, or utilizing crosswalks.

Kenner Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Cyclists are increasingly sharing the roads, but often negligent drivers fail to respect their right-of-way. From distracted driving to improper passing, our Kenner bicycle accident lawyers hold those who endanger cyclists liable for their actions.

Kenner Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Tragically, understaffed homes with poorly trained workers often subject vulnerable residents to neglect, abuse, or negligence, leading to harm. Our Kenner nursing home abuse lawyers work closely with medical experts to identify signs of mistreatment. We build strong cases against negligent facilities to recover compensation for relocation, medical costs, pain and suffering, and dignity violations.

Kenner Boating Accident Lawyer – Kenner Maritime Injury Lawyer

Louisiana’s waterways provide opportunities for both recreational enjoyment and commercial maritime operations. However, they also present serious hazards when boat operators, shipping companies, and employers act negligently. Our Kenner boating accident lawyers and Kenner maritime injury lawyers protect the rights of victims harmed in accidents involving:

  • Recreational vessels like yachts, ski boats, jet skis
  • Commercial shipping vessels, tankers, barges
  • Offshore oil rigs and production platforms
  • Fishing boats and other maritime workplaces

Kenner Premises Liability Lawyer

Property owners and managers have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe and address any hazards that could foreseeably cause injuries to visitors. When they fail to uphold this duty of care, our Kenner premises liability attorneys hold them accountable for resulting harm such as:

  • Slip, trip, and fall accidents
  • Swimming pool accidents
  • Inadequate lighting or security
  • Dog bites and animal attacks
  • Criminal assaults due to negligent security

We investigate to determine all liable parties, from landlords and business owners to third-party contractors and vendors. Our Kenner personal injury attorneys fight to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Kenner Product Liability Lawyer

Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have an obligation to ensure consumer products like vehicles, appliances, tools, toys, and other goods are free of dangerous defects before releasing them to the public. Our Kenner product liability lawyers take on major corporations for injuries caused by:

  • Design and manufacturing defects
  • Failure to warn about known risks
  • Automotive part failures like tires, airbags
  • Dangerous children’s products and toys
  • Defective machinery, tools, and equipment
  • Hazardous materials and chemical exposures

Kenner Workers’ Compensation Lawyer / Kenner Wrongful Death Lawyer

Workplace accidents and fatal injuries constitute some of the most tragic and preventable cases of negligence. Our skilled Kenner workers’ compensation lawyers and Kenner wrongful death attorneys ensure families receive the benefits and compensation they deserve, whether pursuing:

  • Workers’ compensation claims against employers
  • Personal injury lawsuits against third parties
  • Wrongful death actions against those responsible

We handle workplace accidents across all industries, from construction sites and manufacturing floors to offices and healthcare facilities. Our personal injury lawyers in Kenner have the resources to investigate contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and product manufacturers to determine all sources of liability.

Be Prepared With Legal Representation You Can Count On

While many injury claims get settled beforehand, your lawyers must be prepared to fight at trial if negotiations stall or the opposing side refuses to offer full and fair compensation.

Don’t choose an attorney who avoids litigation at all costs. This signals weakness to insurers and corporations, resulting in lowball settlement offers that fail to cover your damages.

At Laborde Earles, our seasoned Kenner personal injury attorneys secure major wins for our clients. When you’re the victim of negligence, having lawyers unafraid of tough legal battles makes all the difference.

Recoverable Damages in A Personal Injury Claim In Louisiana

In Louisiana, injury victims may be able to recover compensation for a wide range of damages by filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit. The specific types and amounts recoverable depend on the particular facts and severity of your case.

Economic Damages

These objectively calculable losses include:

  • Medical Expenses (past and future)
  • Lost Wages
  • Property Damage
  • Household Services

Non-Economic Damages

While more subjective, these damages for abstract harm are just as impactful:

  • Physical Pain and Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Loss of Consortium

Our Kenner personal injury attorneys work tirelessly to recover the maximum financial compensation possible for all the damages you’ve suffered. Let us fight for the accountability and financial relief you deserve after preventable injuries turn your life upside down.

Common Injuries in Personal Injury Claims

The negligent acts that lead to personal injury claims can inflict serious, life-altering harm on victims. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, personal injury attorneys in Kenner have successfully pursued compensation for clients suffering from injuries such as:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries
  • Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Burn Injuries
  • Broken Bones
  • Neck and Back Injuries
  • Amputation
  • Internal Injuries
  • Permanent Scarring/Disfigurement

Do Not Wait to Take Legal Action

Seeking financial compensation on your own after suffering an injury can be daunting. It can be even more stressful and frustrating when you are also struggling through your physical recovery. Getting our team involved in building and preparing your lawsuit early may have several benefits. Early involvement may give us more time to find support for your case for financial recovery, including:

  • Records
  • Accident Reports
  • Witnesses
  • Photos or videos
  • Other evidence

According to CC Art. 3492, you generally have two years from the accident date to file your lawsuit. Filing your lawsuit after the allotted time has expired might lead to these consequences:

  • The court system may not let you file your lawsuit at all
  • Your lawsuit might be dismissed before it can be heard

You can avoid the risk of having the statute of limitations expire by notifying our legal team of your injuries and your intent to seek compensation early. With sufficient time to do so, we can build your case and file your lawsuit by the deadline.
