🦺 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘁 “𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁.”

Not every workplace injury happens in one sudden accident—and not every work-related injury happens at your usual job site.

Some injuries happen in an instant. Others may develop over time from repetitive work or physical demands. And depending on the circumstances, an injury that happens while you’re working away from your normal workplace may still be connected to your employment.

How, when, and why the injury happened matters.

👉 Swipe through for a few examples of what may qualify as a workplace injury.

If you’ve been injured while working and aren’t sure what rights you may have, give our office a call.

When an 18-wheeler or other commercial vehicle is involved, the investigation may extend well beyond what happened between the two drivers.

Depending on the circumstances, questions may involve the trucking company, the driver’s employer, maintenance or repair providers, vehicle owners, contractors, insurance coverage, and other companies connected to the truck or its operation.

And each may have its own records, responsibilities, and information that can help explain 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆.

That’s why identifying everyone who may be involved can be an important part of investigating a commercial truck accident.

They can document when symptoms began, what you reported to your doctors, diagnoses, treatment, physical limitations, and how your condition changes over time.

But missed appointments, long gaps in treatment, or symptoms that never make it into the medical record can leave unanswered questions about your injury and recovery.

That doesn’t mean one missed appointment automatically ruins a personal injury claim. It does mean that consistent treatment—and being open with your medical providers about what you’re experiencing—can matter.

Your health comes first. And your medical records may later become important evidence of what you went through.

If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence and have questions about your claim, give our office a call.

An injury isn’t always measured by medical bills, X-rays, or the number of days you missed from work.

It can also affect how you feel, what you’re physically able to do, the activities you enjoy, and even the time you spend with the people who matter most.

Those effects can be harder to put a number on, but that doesn’t make them any less real.

🚨 “𝗗𝗢 𝗜 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗔 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗘?” ⚖️

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸’𝘀 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: I got hurt at work, but my employer says the accident was my fault. Does that mean I can’t get workers’ comp?

Not necessarily. 👀

Louisiana workers’ compensation is generally a no-fault system, meaning you typically don’t have to prove your employer caused the accident to potentially qualify for benefits.

Being blamed for a workplace accident doesn’t automatically mean you’re out of options.

Think you know personal injury law? Stick around. We’ve got another scenario coming. 😏

A spinal cord injury can change nearly every part of a person’s life—from mobility and independence to work, relationships, and everyday routines.

These injuries can result from motor vehicle crashes, falls, workplace accidents, sports injuries, and other forms of trauma. And while every spinal cord injury and recovery is different, the effects can extend far beyond the initial accident.

This month, we recognize those living with spinal cord injuries, the families and caregivers who support them, and the medical professionals working alongside them.

Already had a bad back, bad knee, or another pre-existing condition before an accident? That doesn’t automatically mean you don’t have a personal injury claim.

If someone else’s negligence causes an accident that 𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, that can still matter.

The key question isn’t always, “𝘞𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵?” It may be, “𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯?”

Your medical history can be an important part of understanding what happened before—and after—the injury.

For more than three decades, I’ve had the privilege of representing injured people throughout Louisiana. The cases are different. The laws have changed. Technology has certainly changed.

But some things shouldn’t.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸’𝘀 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: I was injured in a car accident that wasn’t my fault. Then I found out the other driver doesn’t have insurance. Am I out of options?

Not necessarily. 👀

That’s where Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may come into play.
No insurance doesn’t always mean no options.
