Our Team will Prove Negligence and Liability in Your Kenner Injury Claim
To seek financial recovery in a personal injury lawsuit in Kenner, you must prove how the liable party’s negligence led to your injuries. Establishing negligence means proving that:
- The at-fault party had a duty of care to you
- They breached the duty of care
- This caused your injuries
- It led to your financial damages
Our team will help you establish negligence and liability by gathering:
- Car accident reports
- Police reports
- Incident reports
- Injury photos
- Accident scene photos
- Medical records
- Witness statements
Our team will locate and compile important evidence into your case file. In addition to proving the cause of your injuries, your case file might also help us prove their costs and establish your right to financial recovery.
We can put an estimated range of value on your case, allowing us to understand if an offer put forward by the liable party’s insurer is “fair” based on your losses and expenses incurred. We will not settle for a lowball offer on your behalf. Instead, we will fight to secure the compensation you need to pay your bills and cover your losses.
Understanding Your Losses and Recoverable Expenses
An accident or incident often causes the victim to suffer:
- Physical injuries

- Medical bills
- Income loss
- Property damage
- Physical impairments
- Pain and suffering
- Other intangible losses
In addition to your known financial damages to date, you may also be able to recover costs for future medical care and income losses. Our attorneys will help you prove your damages and seek justice through fair compensation.

Track Your Injuries and Related Expenses

- Hospitalization
- Surgery
- Inpatient rehabilitation
- Physical and occupational therapies
- In-home assistance
- Assistive medical devices
- Long-term care
Various health care providers and facilities provide these treatments and procedures, which means it could be challenging to compile corresponding records, bills, and receipts from each one. However, this is an imperative part of proving the value of your case.
Our team will help you track and locate all relevant medical expenses, in addition to your other losses. However, we recommend keeping a file of your paperwork, including bills, direct deposit receipts, tax records, and property repair bills.
Identifying the Liable Parties Based on the Facts of Your Kenner, LA, Personal Injury Case
If another person’s negligence injured you, the circumstances surrounding your accident and injuries could make it challenging to identify the liable party. You have to know who is liable to know who to pursue for compensation.
For example, imagine if your injuries occurred due to a slip and fall accident in a crowded retail store. In that case, the property owner or the store owner, even if they lease the location, may be at fault. Our team can help you investigate what led to your injuries and identify the liable parties. This could include:
- A driver
- The owner of a vehicle
- A property owner or occupier
- A product manufacturer
- A physical assailant
If you are ready to seek compensation, our team can help you assign financial liability based on the evidence available. Reach out to our team today to learn how.
