Fault is a key part of an injury case, and it's almost never black and white. Usually, the person making a claim has to prove the other person was at fault. Sometimes, the person making the claim has to prove they were not at fault themselves.

Disputing fault is an easy out for insurance companies to avoid fairly paying claims. When that happens, you need a team prepared to argue those gray areas. And at Inzina Law, that's exactly what we do.

We'll never forget the time we were in an Uber and saw this sweet note from our Uber driver's daughter. As parents, it reminded us not only to GET BUCKLED but that our kiddos were relying on us to get home safely.

It takes seconds, and maybe it will wrinkle your shirt, but a wrinkled shirt beats a shirt that has to be cut off of you after a violent crash. And don't forget - someone who loves you is relying on YOU to get home safely, too.

(Of course we would be remiss if we didn't add that it's also required by law and can be used against you if you are injured by someone else and didn't have on your seatbelt.)

At Inzina Law, we’re here to answer your questions every step of the way. Here is a common question we get asked:

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘄𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗸?

Yes - As a passenger, you may have the right to file a claim against the other driver or the driver of the vehicle you were in. As always, the facts will make a difference in your claim just as they would if you were the driver. It's common for passengers to be mistakenly left off the police report, so be sure you speak to the officer at the scene and provide your information

The numbers of serious crashes caused by people who are texting or using a cell phone are rising. Whether you're in your car alone or with your precious cargo in tow, you can be sure that someone who loves you is relying on you to get home safely.

Whatever it is, can wait. Because if it causes you to crash, it will have to.

At Inzina Law, we’re here to answer your questions every step of the way. Here is a common question we get asked:
Can I just treat my injuries at home?

We get it - seeing a doctor can be scary, inconvenient, and expensive. But professional medical treatment is your best chance for physical and financial recovery. Insurance companies do not usually compensate injuries that aren't proven with medical records. And if you wait too long to see a doctor, insurance companies often argue that you didn't do your part to get better.

At Inzina Law, we will guide you on how to get seen by a doctor and how to pay for it while your case is ongoing.

June is National Safety Month—a nationwide reminder to prioritize safety in every part of our lives. Whether you're at work, on the road, or relaxing at home, small actions can prevent big accidents. This month, we'll share smart, safe choices to protect yourself, your family, and those around you. Stay alert, stay prepared, and stay safe.

To wrap up Motorcycle Safety Month, here’s an important reminder: 🛑 In order to legally operate a motorcycle in Louisiana, you must have the proper certification—a motorcycle endorsement (Class M) on your driver’s license.
✅ You can earn it by passing a written knowledge test and road skills test or by completing an approved safety course (which can waive both).
✅ Then apply at the OMV with proof of ID, residency, and insurance.
Riding without the proper endorsement isn’t just risky—it’s illegal. Ride smart, ride certified, and stay safe out there.

At Inzina Law, we’re here to answer your questions every step of the way. Here is a common question we hear often:

𝗗𝗼 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗳 𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝘁?
Getting a lawyer involved right after an injury means stronger evidence, fewer mistakes, and less stress. From dealing with insurance to protecting your rights, early guidance can make all the difference in your case — and your recovery. It can be tempting to wait and see what happens, but every day that passes is a chance for key evidence to be lost, the insurance company to trick you into an unfair statement, and your injuries to worsen. And you can bet that will be used against you if you end up making a claim or filing a lawsuit.

If you've been injured, call us. Helping injured people is what we do.

🩺 Do Pre-Existing Injuries Affect Your Personal Injury Case?

Have a past injury? It doesn’t mean your current case is hopeless. While pre-existing conditions can complicate things, you can still be entitled to compensation for how the accident made your condition worse.
At Inzina Law, we know how to prove the impact of an accident on your existing injuries and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Let us help you navigate this complex process. Reach out today!
