If you’ve been injured by a negligent driver, we fight relentlessly to secure the maximum compensation you deserve. Let our experienced legal team protect your future.
Recovered in a Car Accident Case
Car accidents happen even to the safest, most careful drivers on the road. If you’ve been seriously injured in a car or motorcycle accident caused by another driver, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering.
As an accomplished personal injury firm, the Lindsey Scott Law Firm has received numerous settlements and judgments for its clients. With over 24 years of experience, our attorneys are qualified to take insurance companies head on.
With busy roadways like I-10, I-12, and Airline Highway, crashes happen every day because of driver negligence. Some of the most common factors we see in our investigations include:
Texting, map apps, and phone calls pull attention away from the road.
Impaired drivers remain a leading cause of high-impact, devastating collisions.
Excess speed increases crash severity and shortens safe braking distance.
Unsignaled moves on congested interstates trigger side-swipes and motorcycle crashes.
Intersection T-bone collisions often cause serious head, neck, and spine injuries.
Drivers who don’t check blind spots or misjudge a bike’s speed cause many motorcycle wrecks.
If another driver caused your crash, Louisiana law lets you recover damages for the full physical, emotional, and financial impact on your life.
Past and future medical, hospital, and rehabilitation costs, including surgeries and prescriptions.
Income lost while you recover, plus reduced earning capacity if your injuries affect your career.
Physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Repair or replacement of your vehicle or motorcycle and other property damaged in the crash.
Your actions in the minutes and days after a crash are critical to your safety and to your future injury claim.
Move out of traffic if you can, turn on your hazards, and get police and EMS to the scene.
Photograph the vehicles, license plates, injuries, and road conditions, and get contact information from witnesses.
See a doctor right away, even if you feel fine. Some injuries, like whiplash and brain trauma, take hours or days to show symptoms.
Notify your own carrier with the basic facts. Don’t give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer without legal advice.
Call the Lindsey Scott Law Firm early. We secure evidence, obtain police reports and footage, and deal with the insurers for you.

Answers to the questions injury victims in Louisiana ask us most.
Louisiana has strict filing deadlines, called prescriptive periods. For most injuries that happened on or after July 1, 2024, you generally have two years to file a lawsuit; for injuries before that date the deadline was one year. Some claims have different deadlines, so contact us as soon as possible.
Louisiana reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault. For accidents on or after January 1, 2026, a person found more than 50% at fault may be barred from recovering at all, which is why it matters to have an attorney push back on unfair blame from the insurance company.
Case value depends on your medical bills, lost wages, the severity of your injuries, available insurance coverage, and property damage. During your free consultation we review the facts and give you an honest assessment.
It’s worth a free call. Injuries that seem minor can develop into long-term pain, and insurers often try to settle quickly for amounts that don’t cover future care.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, so our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict we win for you. If we don’t recover money for you, you don’t owe us attorney fees.
It depends on your injuries and how the insurer responds. Simpler cases can settle in a few months, while cases with serious injuries or disputed fault can take a year or longer.
