Compassionate New Orleans Car Accident Attorneys Ready To Fight For You

Lawyer advertising is just about everywhere these days. Lawyer slogans and television jingles seem to be all around us. But slogans and jingles will not force big insurance companies to pay injured car crash victims the compensation they deserve. The auto accident lawyer who you see on TV the most or whose jingle or slogan stays in your head the longest, may not be the best attorney to fight for you. When choosing a law firm and one of their New Orleans car accident attorneys to represent you in a personal injury case, only one thing should matter – RESULTS.

The Strength Of HHK On Your Side

No firm is better equipped than Herman Herman & Katz, L.L.C. to handle your personal injury claim stemming from a car wreck. For over 70 years, our firm has fought for families devastated by personal injury caused by the negligence of others. Our New Orleans car accident lawyers are proud to have recovered over $35 billion on behalf of our clients.

Unfortunately, these recoveries do not come easy. Insurance companies that put profits ahead of injured accident victims often refuse to pay legitimate personal injury claims. Instead, these insurance companies deny legitimate personal injury claims for as long as possible in hopes that tired families will eventually give up and settle for less than they deserve. Insurance companies attempt to manipulate the system and prolong the process and protect their profits at the expense of personal injury victims. Insurance companies even stoop so low as to attack the integrity of personal injury victims.

Experienced New Orleans Car Accident Law Firm

People depend on cars every day. Today it is nearly impossible to get from place to place without a car. Most of us live and work too far apart to travel by foot. As a result, we are exposed to potential personal injury or even wrongful death on a daily basis. Although cars are a modern-day convenience that generally makes our lives easier and better, they are not always safe. Accidents occur all the time. Auto accidents happen for a wide variety of reasons, including drunk drivers, drivers distracted by handheld devices, fatigued drivers, and dangerous roadway conditions. Regardless of how an accident occurred, victims of car crashes often suffer serious personal injuries or even wrongful death.

When you are injured in a car crash that was caused by the negligence of another, you have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries. If you have been injured in an auto accident, you should contact our experienced New Orleans car accident attorney.

Insurance companies know that too many law firms avoid trials. As a result, insurance companies undervalue your injuries, knowing that most attorneys will settle for much less than your personal injury claim is actually worth just to avoid having to go to court.

Some of Our Related Personal Injury Practice Areas

Although Herman Herman & Katz, L.L.C. handles just about every type of personal injury claim, our New Orleans auto accident attorneys handle the following types of claims that are often involved in auto accident cases:

• Brain Injuries: A serious brain injury can result in long-term disability, paralysis, and death as well as some of the highest compensation awarded for any injury. Our brain injury team is led by retired neurosurgeon Joseph Kott, a physician with a law degree.
• Burn Injuries: Burn injuries are among the most painful of all injuries, and they can cause lifelong disfigurement. Even moderate burn injuries can cause immense mental anguish. These losses can be added to physical disabilities to justify a large damages award.
• Product Defects: Manufacturers and distributors of defective products can be held liable when their product malfunctions and injures someone. An automobile airbag malfunction, for example, resulting in serious injuries that the victim would not otherwise have suffered. In some ways, product liability law is more victim-friendly than other forms of personal injury law – you don’t necessarily have to prove fault to win, for example.
• 18-Wheeler Trucking Accidents: An 18-wheeler rig is about twenty times as heavy as an ordinary automobile. And when a collision occurs, the damage is frequently catastrophic. Commercial truckers are subject to strict regulations that do not bind ordinary motorists, and the violation of regulations often provides a basis for personal injury liability.
• Wrongful Death Claim: Although a deceased accident victim cannot file a personal injury lawsuit, certain close relatives of the victim can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Damages can be large. They are often comparable to what the victim could have won if he had lived but remained in serious condition for an extended period.
