A severe brain injury can change your entire life. When someone else’s negligence is to blame, we fight for the full compensation you need for your recovery and your future.
Fighting for Injured Louisianans
One moment you are enjoying your life, and the next you are struggling with everyday tasks. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) often go undiagnosed or are mistaken for ordinary headaches, so it’s important to recognize the signs.
At the Lindsey Scott Law Firm, we aggressively pursue full compensation for people with brain injuries. We put our clients first and keep you informed as we work toward a favorable settlement or verdict.
A TBI happens when a blow, jolt, or penetrating object damages brain tissue. An acquired brain injury can also result from a loss of oxygen. These injuries frequently occur due to:
Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian crashes are a leading cause of TBI, even with airbags and helmets.
Falls on stairs, wet floors, or from ladders often cause the head to strike a hard surface.
Contact sports and hard falls can cause concussions and cumulative brain damage.
Criminal assaults, especially with blunt objects, frequently result in brain injuries.
Concussive force from a nearby blast can severely injure the brain.
Anesthesia errors and other mistakes can cut off oxygen and cause an acquired brain injury.
Brain injury victims can recover for medical care and lost income, and for the profound ways a TBI changes daily life.
Hospital care, therapy, rehabilitation, and the cost of ongoing personal care.
Wages lost during recovery and reduced earning capacity from lasting impairment.
Physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of quality and enjoyment of life.
The cost of modifying a home to accommodate a disability.
Brain injury symptoms can be subtle at first. These steps protect your health and your claim.
See a doctor after any blow to the head, even if you didn’t lose consciousness.
Headaches, confusion, memory problems, mood changes, dizziness, and vision issues can appear later.
Keep every appointment and follow your doctor’s instructions. Gaps in care can hurt your claim.
Write down symptoms and how they affect your work, relationships, and daily life.
We investigate how your injury happened, work with medical experts, and fight for full compensation.
Insurance companies aren’t on your side. They want to protect their bottom line. Let Lindsey Scott handle the heavy lifting, navigate the complex claims process, and fight for the recovery you deserve.

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.
Common signs include headaches, nausea, confusion, memory loss, fatigue, vision problems, mood swings, and trouble concentrating. Severe TBIs can cause loss of motor function and speech problems.
Yes. If your loved one is incapacitated, you may be able to file on their behalf. We can explain the power of attorney or guardianship process.
Yes. Even mild brain injuries can cause lasting symptoms, and repeated mild injuries can be cumulative.
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 the severity of the injury, the cost of current and future care, lost income, and the impact on your life. We work with experts to value your claim fully.
