Name | Introduction |
| Automobile Accidents | Louisiana personal injury law provides financial recovery to individuals who have been injured or sustained economic losses from a car wreck caused wholly or partially as a result of someone else's negligence. The experienced Lafayette, Louisiana, auto accident attorneys at Anderson & Dozier handle motor vehicle accidents, collisions and crashes involving automobiles, trucks, trains, bicyclists and pedestrians who have been seriously injured as a result of third party fault. |
| Longshore & HarborWorkers Compensation Act | Under federal law, the workers who perform many of the jobs associated with vessels and the maritime activity of such vessels but who are not assigned to a particular vessel often have claims under the Longshore & Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA). |
| Jones Act | We represent the seaman aboard vessels who are injured due to the fault of their employer or the owner of the vessel. Under the Jones Act, a federal statute that applies to injured seamen, the claim is often based on the negligence of the owner of the vessel, its operator, fellow employees (crewmembers) or any defect in the equipment on the vessel. |
| Offshore Platforms | We represent the workers injured on offshore platforms located in both State and Federal waters. Due to the variety of structures used in the oil & gas exploration and production industry, the first step is to properly identify the true nature of the structure and its precise location. |
| Eighteen-Wheeler Truck Accidents | The most devastating accidents that occur on our highways are collisions caused by the negligence of eighteen-wheeler truck drivers. If you have been injured in an accident involving an eighteen-wheeler or other large commercial vehicle in Louisiana, you need an experienced Louisiana truck accident lawyer to represent you. |
| Maritime Cases | The men and women who are employed in the maritime industry are exposed to hazardous and adverse conditions due to the nature and location of their work. We represent the deckhands, tankermen, pilots, engineers, oilers, drilling crewmembers aboard jack-ups and semisubmersibles, divers and welders on pipeline barges and tenders in both Federal and State Court. |
| Wrongful Death | If you have suffered the loss of a family member, our condolences and sympathy is extended to you. The loss of a family member is great and is painful. The emotional and financial impact cannot be put into words. When the loss of life is caused by the fault of another person or from a defective product, the claim is referred to as "wrongful death". In this situation, the law of Louisiana provides the surviving family members with a claim to recover damages. |
| Spinal Injuries | Spinal injuries cause severe pain, tingling or numbness in the neck or back and into the arms and legs as a result of irritation or compression of the spinal cord or its nerve roots. |
| Burn Injuries | Burn injuries vary in degree and severity often leading to extraordinary pain, scarring and disfigurement, infection, and severe disability or physical impairment. Burn injuries often result from electricity, chemicals, industrial fires and industrial explosions, house fires, hot water, and fireworks. Our expertise focuses on the best burn specialist for immediate care and for developing rehabilitation and/or life-care. |
| Brain Injuries | Brain injuries cause grave difficulties in the lives of those affected, both directly and indirectly. Brain injuries are often hard to detect and hard to treat. The amount of damages associated with brain injuries are often substantial, but vary based on specific circumstances. Our attorneys handle brain injuries caused by blunt trauma from motor vehicle accidents and work-place incidents as well as brain injuries caused by defective drugs and toxic substances. |
| Premises Liability | Premises liability encompasses many types of serious accident, injury and wrongful death cases. Slip and fall accidents, trip and fall accidents, and falling merchandise and/or building appurtenances (ceiling fans, lights, etc.) are considered "premises liability" cases under Louisiana law. |
| Product Liability | Under Louisiana law, the manufacturers and/or distributors of defective products are liable to the individuals who are injured by such products. The claims for personal injury caused by defective products vary according to the type and nature of the product and the circumstances in which the item is being used. Our attorneys are accustomed to evaluating claims involving defective products, including prescription drugs and faulty equipment. |
