In truck crashes we've handled, the carrier or its insurer often moves quickly to collect evidence like black box data, dispatch logs, and maintenance records. Timing varies, but that work may begin soon after a serious crash.

Your side needs the same kind of record. Hospital records can document the initial exam, diagnostic findings, consultations, and how treatment develops over time. A gap in care doesn't erase an injury, but it can leave a thinner record to look back on later.

A life-care plan often draws on those records and clinical recommendations to project future treatment and cost. Medical records and a life-care plan may help document the injury, but they don't by themselves prove fault. Louisiana law generally requires proof that a breach caused the harm, separate from proving the harm itself.

The earlier we're involved, the more of that record we can help preserve. Call us: (504) 822-2222.

Got a check from the insurance company a week after your wreck? Read this before you cash it.

We're seeing it more and more. The adjuster calls and offers you $2,500 or $3,000 to settle. Sounds like money in your pocket. But if you're hurt and still treating, that check might cover a fraction of your medical bills. If their policy is $15,000 and they can close you out for $2,500, that's a win for them, not you.

Got a release, or a check that says "final payment"? Don't sign or cash anything until you know what you're giving up. Call us at (504) 822-2222 or tap the link in bio.

Your phone buzzes on the drive home from physical therapy, and it's the other driver's insurance adjuster. Friendly voice, already talking about a number.

That first contact typically comes within a few days to a week, long before anyone knows how your neck is going to heal. The offer attached to it is often well under what the claim is actually worth, and accepting it generally means signing a full and final release that closes off anything that surfaces later. Your car is still sitting at a body shop waiting on parts.

Crash injuries don't keep a schedule. Soreness often shows up hours to days after a wreck, and some concussion symptoms may be delayed for weeks. It's generally advised not to give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver's insurer or sign a release without a lawyer reading it first.

The earlier in the case, the more options you have. Call us at (504) 822-2222.

Two days without power after the storm, and you finally load the kids in the car for gas and ice. The intersection ahead is just as dark as your kitchen was. No light. No hum. Nothing moving through in order.

Louisiana law doesn't care why the signal went black. A dead light is a four-way stop, storm or no storm, and every driver who rolled through it owed that duty the second the power dropped.

The outage itself leaves a paper trail. Entergy generally keeps outage logs for around three years, and those records can pin down when your intersection actually lost power, which matters if the timeline of that night ever gets disputed.

Before those records get harder to track down, call us: (504) 822-2222.

The tow truck's winch is already grinding by the time most people think to grab their phone. Once your car's on the flatbed, the scene you just lived through is gone for good.

If the traffic light at that intersection was dark, Louisiana law says every driver there had to treat it like a four-way stop. It doesn't matter if the power went out from a storm or a blown transformer down the block. That duty existed the second the light went black, and a photo of the dead signal does more to prove it than anything an officer writes down.

Skid marks fade. Storm debris gets swept up fast. Traffic camera footage from that intersection is often gone within around 30 days, while the police report itself typically stays on file for about five years. A photo you take standing right there can outlast all of it.

Save our number before that tow truck pulls away: (504) 822-2222.
