Providing You With Legal Advice

At Murray & Murray, L.L.C. in Baton Rouge, we provide clients with the legal advice needed during a personal injury claim. We recommend you call us at (225) 396-5143 to schedule your free consultation with a lawyer. However, there is general legal advice you should follow immediately:

Seek medical attention: Following an injury immediately go to the nearest emergency room. Attending to your health is vital after an accident. Describe the event so a physician can order the diagnostic testing you need.
Limit your social media use: Social media can damage your personal injury claim by providing the defendant’s legal team with evidence against you. Any posts, videos, photographs or comments made online can qualify as evidence. They can argue you contributed to the accident or are exaggerating your injuries for financial gain.
Do not speak with the insurance company: It is best to have an attorney speak to the insurance company on your behalf. The insurance company may try to misrepresent your words. Insurers could also phrase questions in a way that makes you unintentionally admit fault.
Call us right away: In the state of Louisiana, you have one year from the date of an accident to file your personal injury claim in accordance with Louisiana Civil Code Section 3492. Call us immediately to start your claim.

How Our Lawyers Can Help You

In Baton Rouge, a personal injury attorney from our law firm can help you receive the compensation you need after an accident. We fight for both economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages will compensate you for the financial losses you suffered as a result of the accident, including but not limited to:

Medical expenses
Lost earnings while you were recovering from your personal injury
Lost earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from continuing in your previous occupation
Damage to your property, such as your vehicle
Any out-of-pocket expenses for childcare, grocery services, or other services you need

Although it is challenging to receive true compensation for the emotional distress an accident caused, you can still receive monetary compensation. Pain and suffering is difficult to quantify, but these intangible losses can still be compensated. If you have suffered mental trauma, the loss of the use of a limb or organ, loss of consortium or the loss of your enjoyment of life, the court may award you non-economic damages for your suffering.

Insurance companies are for-profit businesses interested in maintaining the bottom line. They will not check in on you, your recovery, and your family, but we will at Murray & Murray, L.L.C. Your Baton Rouge personal injury lawyer will represent your interests during settlement negotiations with the other party’s insurer.

We work on a contingency basis, meaning you will not pay a fee unless damages are won either through a settlement or a trial. Your case evaluation is completely free, and a great opportunity to ask questions and set expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common injury law questions our clients have for us:

The time required to settle personal injury cases varies. Several factors determine how long it can take a case to settle. Generally, personal injury cases settle anytime between two months and two years.

What you receive in pain and suffering is strongly associated with the evidence in your claim. Catastrophic injuries that leave the victim paralyzed typically result in higher settlements. Your therapist can serve as an advocate in your case and help you to recover physically and financially.

One of the best ways to prepare for a personal injury case is to call a Baton Rouge personal injury attorney. Call Murray & Murray, L.L.C. now to discover what your case is worth, be informed of your rights under Louisiana law, get updates on your claim, and for someone to negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.
