With all the traffic flying through Waggaman, Louisiana, it should come as no surprise that car and truck accidents are one of the main causes of personal injury. You see how some people choose to drive on River Road! People are distracted on their phones or are just too busy to slow down and pay attention on Highway 90.
Accidents seem to happen every day in Waggaman. Even to the good drivers. Thankfully, most wrecks are relatively minor though unfortunately, many have long-lasting effects, and a few are tragically fatal.
Everyone has the right to feel safe on the roads but if those rights were taken away by the careless actions of a reckless driver, you probably have a good personal injury case.
Do You Really Need to Hire a Waggaman Personal Injury Attorney?
We respect that you probably like to handle things on your own. Like most hard-working Waggaman residents, you probably haven’t had any reason to hire a lawyer and you’re certainly not the type to go around suing people.
Just keep in mind that the accident wasn’t your fault. You were injured because of someone else’s negligence and now you’re having to deal with the aftermath of a painful, debilitating injury.
There is no shame in wanting your medical bills to be paid and your property replaced. You have been injured and there is absolutely nothing wrong with needing to be made whole again.
Hiring a Louisiana personal injury attorney will prevent you from making costly mistakes. For starters, the insurance company may want to settle your claim shortly after the accident.
Don’t settle for less than you deserve!
Some injuries like head trauma and back injuries can take several weeks and several trips to the doctor to fully diagnose. You may not even be aware of the full extent of your injuries in the days after your accident, and if you sign anything, you may be waiving your right to full compensation.
A local personal injury attorney will work with your doctors to get a full understanding of the severity of your injury and how that injury has affected your quality of life. That knowledge will be used to make sure your settlement value is fair and covers your damages.
Damages that your attorney will fight for include:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Physical therapy
- Rehabilitation
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional pain and suffering
- Future medical bills
- Future lost wages
What Should You Look for in a Waggaman Car Accident Lawyer?
You may be tempted to call an attorney you saw on TV or on one of those gigantic billboards – you know the ones we’re talking about. And you’re not the only one.
But are they actually any good? Or do they seem that way because they spend a lot on commercials? With so much exposure their client base is huge and you may run the risk of being treated like just another client. Just another case.

You need someone whose only interest is your best interest. Someone who will compassionately fight hard for you against the big bullies of the world – like insurance companies.

Don’t Try to Take on the Trucking Company! You Need an Experienced Waggaman Truck Accident Attorney
Large truck and 18-wheeler accidents result in some of the most devastating and life-altering personal injuries, and on occasion, some have tragic consequences.
Living in Waggaman, it’s almost impossible to avoid the hundreds of work trucks and 18-wheelers that drive through Jefferson Parish each day. If you were injured by a large work truck or 18-wheeler, you may be considering handling the case yourself. You can, but we strongly advise against it.
The trucking companies have very deep pockets and can afford to hire lawyers who are very skilled at deflecting accountability. They may say that the accident wasn’t their fault or that it was the fault of the driver and the company had nothing to do with it.
The trucking company’s number one priority is their bottom line, not your injury or well-being.
