Catastrophic Injury Cases in Baton Rouge
Spine Injury, Brain Injury, Burn Injury & Amputation
Catastrophic injuries often occur in serious accidents involving motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft and commercial vehicles as well as other personal injury situations resulting from medical or nursing home malpractice, dog bites, burn injuries or slip & fall accidents to name a few. These types of personal injuries are categorized as catastrophic because of their severity, and can often take several weeks or even months to fully recover. In many cases, the victims who suffer catastrophic injuries never truly recover, and may spend the rest of their lives suffering with lasting disabilities in need of full-time healthcare by a professional or family member. If you or someone you know has suffered a catastrophic injury in an accident that was caused by a negligent third party, consider speaking with a Baton Rouge personal injury attorney at The Layfield Law Firm, LLC to review your legal options and determine how to best seek financial compensation.
Experienced Injury Attorney in Baton Rouge
The level of compensation granted to those who are living with catastrophic injuries as a result of third party negligence can be quite significant, whether by settlement or through a court decision. The court may award financial compensation to cover costs related to medical bills, prescription costs, loss of wages due to the victim's inability to work, long-term or life-long professional healthcare, and even reimbursement for emotional pain and suffering. Compensation can also be awarded to recover the projected earnings of a victim, making the potential for a high value settlement a very real possibility.

How much money can I expect in a settlement?Each personal injury accident is different and the worth of the injuries will depend on the circumstances of the accident and the severity of injuries and disability. Insurance companies have specific calculations they use when assigning a monetary value to the pain and suffering resulting a personal injury causing accident. The firm will protect your right to compensation and pursue legal action if necessary.

How do I know if I have a personal injury claim?
A personal injury accident is the result of the negligent, reckless or careless action of another. An accident that occurs from the use of a dangerous or defective product is an example of a personal injury accident. Another example is a drunk driver who causes a car collision with injuries or fatalities. In the case of negligence, the victim may be eligible for monetary compensation that can include lost income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Beau Layfield and The Layfield Law Firm, LLC can represent a client in court and negotiate with insurance companies to pursue the maximum possible compensation.

Do I need a lawyer in a personal injury claim?
Insurance company studies show that those who have legal representation in their case recover an average of 3.5 times more than those who try to get the issue resolved on their own. Insurance companies do not like to pay out large settlements, and frequently move fast with an offer, within days of a car accident or other serious injury accident. If you accept this early offer, it can be a terrible mistake; you may later require more medical treatment, or not recover in the expected amount of time, or could experience complications. I will carefully evaluate your injury case and ensure that we are pursuing every type of damage that could be claimed in your case. It is very important that you have legal counsel that will protect your right to fair compensation, and I will fight for fair treatment for you and your family. A personal injury lawyer is imperative if you suffered serious injuries. I am a Louisiana attorney that is interested in helping your resolve these issues.

How will custody of my child be decided?It is possible for you and your spouse to come to a decision regarding child custody without the court intervening.
However, if you and your spouse cannot come to a custody terms agreement, the court will decide for you, and will look at the following:
- the child's gender and age;
- the child's mental and physical health;
- the child's relationship with each parent;
- the parents' respective lifestyles;
- each parent's ability to provide basic necessities for the child, including shelter, food, and clothing; and
- the child's preference (if they are of a certain age).
