If you’ve been injured in a car or truck accident, the decisions you make early can affect your recovery and your case. Insurance companies move quickly to limit their exposure.

What to Expect When You Work With Our Firm

1

Medical Care Comes First

Your health is the priority. We connect you with qualified medical professionals and work with your providers to understand the full scope of your injuries.

2

Claim Preparation & Negotiation

We organize your claim into a comprehensive demand package that documents liability, damages, and the impact of your injuries. A well-documented claim strengthens your position during negotiations.

3

Pre-Litigation Resolution or Lawsuit

Many cases resolve before a lawsuit is filed. If an insurer refuses to offer fair compensation, we are prepared to file suit and advance the costs of litigation.

4

Litigation & Trial Preparation

While trials are not common, we prepare every case as if it may be presented to a jury. This preparation strengthens settlement positions and protects your rights.

Experienced Legal Representation Rooted in Louisiana Law

Before focusing exclusively on private practice, Mr. Johnson clerked at the Louisiana Supreme Court, where he analyzed complex legal matters and assisted in drafting recommendations for the Court. He has also served as general counsel for an international logistics and warehousing company, managing complex legal and business issues across multiple industries.

Prior to law school, Mr. Johnson worked in the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Rules, contributing to research and policy analysis at the federal level.

This background informs a methodical, prepared approach to personal injury representation — one grounded in law, process, and accountability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

A personal injury case exists when someone is injured due to another party’s negligence — whether in a car accident, truck accident, or other incident. To pursue a claim under Louisiana law, we must show that the responsible party owed you a duty of care and breached it. During your free consultation, we evaluate the facts of your situation and tell you honestly whether you have a viable case. There is no cost and no obligation.

As of January 1, 2026, Louisiana follows a modified comparative fault system under Civil Code Article 2323. You can still recover compensation if you were partially responsible — but only if your fault is 50% or less. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything. When your fault is below that threshold, your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would receive $80,000. We analyze the evidence carefully to minimize any fault attributed to you.

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. If we file a lawsuit, our firm advances all litigation costs so you are never out of pocket. This is how we ensure that anyone — regardless of financial situation — can access quality legal representation.
