Automobile accidents and the serious injuries and deaths they cause can change your life and the lives of those you love forever in one chaotic moment. Victims of automobile accidents suffer pain and disfigurement and often need extensive medical care and treatment and are unable to work for long periods of time or may become disabled for life.

Automobile accidents can happen because of driver carelessness, defects in the car design, hazardous road or weather conditions and various other factors. You may have suffered a whiplash injury or an injury to your spinal cord, a broken leg or even lost a limb.

Automobile accident victims in Louisiana are allowed to name an insurance company in a lawsuit because Louisiana is a "direct action" state. The ability to name an insurance company in a lawsuit is very helpful to the injured party because it tells a judge or jury that there is insurance to cover the damages. Louisiana also has a one year statute of limitations for filing an automobile accident claim.
The Louisiana automobile accident attorneys at The Cochran Firm will fully investigate your claim and also understand your need to get your medical bills paid and the loss of your income financially compensated.
