Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Gretna, LA

The severe injuries you may sustain after being struck by a car or knocked down by someone riding a scooter or bicycle can leave you unable to work or manage your daily needs. If your injuries require surgery or accommodations and care in a skilled nursing facility, your medical expenses can quickly climb into the six figures or beyond. The individual responsible for the crash should be held liable for the harm and financial losses you suffered. But, most injured pedestrians are too badly injured to mount and pursue their case alone. That’s where our Gretna pedestrian accident lawyer comes in.

Our firm develops a compelling negligence claim against the at-fault party, whether that’s an individual driver or a government entity (like the city or county tasked with maintaining safe roadways).

We begin by thoroughly investigating the details of your accident, collecting physical evidence, and interviewing witnesses. Often, we collaborate with expert witnesses, including medical professionals who can explain the cause and extent of your injuries and the treatment you will need. This solidly links your injuries to the accident. Economic specialists evaluate the long-term effect on your ability to earn a living, which helps us properly value your future damages. Often, the strong evidence we use to build our case is enough to get the other party to offer a fair settlement. We’re good negotiators and drive a hard bargain, but we’re prepared to go to trial if the other party refuses to negotiate and litigate the claim before a jury. We do what it takes to make things right for you.
