The National Motor Vehicle Safety Administration reports that over 4.5 million people were injured in vehicle accidents in 2020. Even slight accidents or fender benders can leave victims with internal injuries, broken bones, concussions, and burns. More serious accidents result in paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, emergency amputations, and death. We’ve got a serious safety problem on our roads, especially in Louisiana. Always drive carefully, but we understand that sometimes things can be out of your control.
Some injured victims face months or even years of recovery and thousands of dollars in medical expenses, all through no fault of their own. Carelessness when behind the wheel can be deadly. When reckless or irresponsible drivers cause injuries to someone else, they can be held liable for their actions. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you have the right to seek compensation for damages, medical expenses, and more.
If you’ve been hurt in an automobile accident, don’t wait. Louisiana law states that victims have one year from the date of the accident to file a claim and waiting can result in lost evidence that could back up your claim in court. You could be entitled to significant financial compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and possibly even punitive damages. Contact the Gabe A.

In Louisiana, our economy is heavily reliant on the oil and gas industry to support the population. You, your friends, or your family must report to work in dangerous conditions for high-risk jobs on oil rigs, offshore gas pipelines, shipping barges, and other maritime vessels. While offshore workers are protected under maritime law, you need an experienced legal professional to help you navigate your claim.
Maritime law, also known as admiralty law, governs accidents and occurrences that occur on navigable waterways, including rivers, harbors, oceans, gulfs or bays, inlets, and more. Claims involving ocean vessels are considered protected under maritime jurisdiction, which hosts a widely different set of laws than onshore claims. The most well-known maritime law is known as the Jones Act, which provides workers’ compensation protection for offshore workers and seamen.
Having an experienced maritime attorney can help you seek recourse for your injuries, as the laws surrounding maritime injuries are complex. You may be entitled to substantial compensation from your employer if negligence or insufficient maintenance can be proven. If you or someone you know has been injured offshore, don’t wait. Contact the Gabe A. Duhon Law Firm today to schedule your initial consultation.
Family disputes are never easy and can cause unnecessary strain on you and your loved ones.

Accidents happen, but some things can be avoided. If you’ve been hurt through negligence or intentional malice of a business, employer, or individual, it can seem like your life has been turned upside down.

Filing a claim in court could be the only way to seek recourse, especially if the at-fault party doesn’t claim responsibility.
