The most important part of any personal injury case is to recover your health. At the Ates Law Firm, we will help you receive proper medical care so you can make the fullest possible recovery. No amount of money can compensate you if you don't have your health.
For more information about a specific kind of case, please click on one of the following links:
- Car accidents: Most car accidents are not "accidents" at all. They are avoidable events caused by negligence.
- Motorcycle accidents: If you are injured in a motorcycle wreck, it's important to hire an attorney who understands the vehicle dynamics and handling of motorcycles. As motorcycle riders ourselves, we do.
- Truck accidents: Was the driver who injured you an employee of the trucking company involved or an independent contractor? Hiring a lawyer who knows the difference can make a huge difference in the amount of insurance available to pay for your damages.
- UM/UIM insurance: With the increasing number of uninsured and underinsured drivers on the road, it is absolutely essential that everyone obtain the maximum amount of UM/UIM coverage.
- Defective roadway accidents: Some accidents are caused not by other drivers but by defects in the roadway. Proving roadway defects requires experts in accident reconstruction.
- Construction accidents: If you are injured in a construction accident, you may have a personal injury case in addition to a workers' compensation case.
- Oil rig accidents: An oil rig may be more than an oil rig. Some are classified as "vessels," which can make a great difference in your personal injury case.
- Jones Act claims: If you are classified as a seaman, your employer owes you a very high standard of duty for your safety.
- Wrongful death: Louisiana law determines who has a right to seek a recovery for a wrongful death.
