When someone else’s carelessness causes a back or neck injury, Louisiana law allows you to hold them accountable. Whether it’s a car crash, workplace accident, or slip and fall, we fight to get you the compensation you need.

This covers emergency treatment, imaging (X-rays, MRIs, CT scans), surgeries, pain management, physical therapy, and any ongoing care you need.

You shouldn’t lose income because of what happened to you. We make sure you’re paid for missed work and reduced earning ability.

This is compensation for the physical pain, loss of mobility, inability to do things you used to enjoy, and the ways this injury has changed your life.

If your injury means you can’t go back to your old job, or you’ll need medical care for years to come, we fight to get you paid for that too.

Whether it just happened or you’re dealing with ongoing pain, these steps protect you and your case:

See a doctor right away. Back and neck injuries can get worse over time, and medical records document what happened to you.

If safe to do so, take photos of where the injury happened and what caused it. Keep records of all treatments, therapy sessions, and medications

Insurance companies may pressure you to accept a quick settlement or sign releases. Don’t sign anything before talking to us.

We’ll review your case at no cost and explain your options. Back and neck injury cases require medical experts and careful documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the insurance company says my back pain isn’t serious?
Insurance companies often minimize back and neck injuries because they can’t “see” the pain. We use MRIs, doctor testimony, and medical experts to prove the severity of your injury.

Can I sue if my injury happened at work?
It depends. If you’re covered by workers’ compensation, you may be limited unless a third party (like a contractor or equipment manufacturer) caused your injury. We’ll review your case for free and explain all of your options.

How long do I have to file a claim in Louisiana?
Generally two years from the date of injury. Call us immediately to protect your rights and preserve evidence. We’re available 24/7 at (318) 561-2500.

What if my back or neck was already weak before the accident?
You can still recover compensation if the accident made your condition worse. Louisiana law says defendants “take the victim as they find them,” so pre-existing conditions are not exempt if your new injury made symptoms worse.

Do I have to pay you upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis which means we only get paid if you win your case. Our fees are taken from that settlement or judgment amount.

Will I have to go to court?
Many cases settle without going to trial, but we’re always prepared to fight in court if needed. Insurance companies know we don’t back down.
