- Brain injuries

- Paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Wrongful death
Comparative Negligence
In Louisiana, "comparative fault" is an issue that is raised in many accident cases. In our state, fault is allocated by the jury to the participants in an accident on a percentage basis. That does not mean that if an injured party is at fault, he or she cannot recover. It simply means that, if he or she is at fault, his or her recovery will be reduced by that percentage. But because accidents often occur through the combined fault of two or more participants, comparative principles operate to compensate even those victims whose fault has played a part in an accident. Our attorneys are familiar at dealing with such issues.
