Why You Need a Lafayette Lawyer On Your Side
Being injured due to no fault of your own can leave you with terrible injuries, financial losses, or the grief of a loved one’s death. If you have emotional, financial, or medical burdens after another’s purposeful or accidental negligence, you need an experienced Lafayette lawyer on your side. The personal injury lawyers at Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards are dedicated to helping clients throughout Louisiana obtain the compensation they deserve. With over 60 years of experience, we are ready to handle your case of injury or wrongful death. Here are just a few of our areas of focus.
Offshore Accidents
Offshore platforms, drill ships, floating rigs, crew boats, and barges can be dangerous working environments. Workers may suffer serious or even fatal injuries due to fires, explosions, falling objects, or other injuries in the offshore or land-based oil and gas industry. If you or a loved one has been injured in an offshore accident, get in touch with our Lafayette lawyers as soon as possible. Whether you have suffered chemical burns, broken bones, or other injuries, we can review your case and help fight for the compensation you are owed.
Car Accidents
Accidents can occur on the road every day. Your collision may lead to expensive hospital bills and lasting trauma. While insurance companies or the responsible party should help with your finances, they will often try to persuade you into accepting a lower settlement than you deserve. Our lawyers can help you to know your legal rights and fight for the fair amount for your car accident! And we understand that filing your claim and dealing with insurance companies can be confusing. We’ll handle the stress for you so you can focus on healing from your injuries.
Medical Malpractice
You place a great deal of trust in your doctors. But sometimes, even medical professionals can make major mistakes. An issue in a surgery, a wrong prescription, or a misdiagnosis can lead to even more serious health problems and even death. This is called medical malpractice. If you are left with the consequences of a mistake that could have been prevented, you deserve compensation from the responsible doctor or hospital. Our Lafayette lawyers know the proof and information needed for a strong defense, and we are prepared to find the documentation and witnesses to support your case.
Wrongful Death
An accident on the job, in a car collision, or through other forms of personal injury can result in the death of a loved one. When caused by someone else’s intentional or unintentional actions, this is legally considered a wrongful death. As a grieving family member, you can receive compensation for your loss and the financial burden of medical or funeral bills. If you are a victim of wrongful death in Lafayette or other areas in Louisiana, let our lawyers help you seek justice.
Worker’s Compensation
Under Louisiana law, an employee who is injured while on the clock at his/her job may bring a worker’s compensation claim against their employer. Worker’s compensation claims may be brought by injured employees regardless of who caused the injury. In most cases, the employer is required to pay their injured employee’s medical bills and the majority of their wages during their recovery until they are fully healed. Unfortunately, many employers try to convince their employees not to file worker’s compensation claims or, worse, try to convince them that worker’s compensation remedies are not available. If you’ve been injured while on the clock, call Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards and ask to speak to one of our attorneys who specialize in worker’s compensation claims.
