Representing Plaintiffs Throughout Louisiana

Louisiana is known for its high crime rates and rising epidemic of reckless driving. Shreveport is not exempt from the statewide trend. When you become the victim of a recent and life-changing accident, time runs out faster than you think to take legal action.

Our skilled team at Joseph A. Gregorio, A Professional Law Firm knows that recovering the compensation you need isn’t easy – even when the facts of the case seem straightforward. Our attorneys diligently assess every detail of your case to devise a robust strategy that enhances the likelihood of a favorable outcome. We utilize every possible legal avenue to ensure the responsible parties are held accountable for their actions.

No Fee Unless We Win

We handle every personal injury case on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront and owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you. We also offer free consultations, home and hospital visits, and flexible appointment scheduling for clients who can’t make it to our Bossier City office.

Over 30 years, we have handled personal injury cases, including jury trials and settlements. Results depend on the facts of each case.

What Your Shreveport Injury Claim Requires

A personal injury case in Louisiana rests on four elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. You must show that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care, that they breached it, that the breach caused your injury, and that you suffered measurable harm as a result. Our attorneys assess every case against this standard from the first consultation.

Strong evidence is essential. We gather medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and physical documentation to support your claim. The evidentiary foundation can affect how the other side evaluates your claim.

Louisiana’s Comparative Fault Rules

Louisiana follows a comparative fault system, which means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of responsibility for the accident. If you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, your recovery may be reduced by 20%.

This makes the allocation of fault a central issue in most cases. We work methodically to present evidence that accurately reflects the defendant’s liability and challenges any attempt to inflate our client’s share of responsibility.

Duty of Care in Shreveport

A plaintiff only has grounds for a personal injury case if the defendant(s) owed them a duty of care. A company that is responsible for cleaning the public hallway, for example, has a duty of care to the residents of the building, granting the company an obligation to protect the residents from any foreseeable harm. Here is an example of how the four elements apply to one of our previous clients.

In Shreveport, the duty of care extends across numerous scenarios beyond business settings, including road safety and public spaces. Understanding how these duties apply within the local context can significantly influence the proceedings of a case. Our team is adept at analyzing these nuances to ensure that all relevant factors are considered, helping to build a strong case for the injured party.

The Statute of Limitations for Injury Claims in Shreveport

Louisiana gives injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline may affect your ability to pursue compensation, regardless of how strong your case is.

Certain circumstances can adjust this deadline. If you didn’t discover your injury immediately, or if new facts emerged after the accident, the clock may start from the date of discovery rather than the date of the incident. Don’t assume you’ve run out of time before speaking with us. We can assess your timeline and act promptly regarding your ability to file.

Types of Accidents We Handle in Shreveport

Car Accidents
Car accidents are among the most common causes of serious injury in northwest Louisiana. If another driver’s negligence caused your crash, we can help you pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. Learn more about car accident claims in Shreveport.

Wrongful Death
When negligence causes a fatal injury, surviving family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. These cases carry their own legal standards and deadlines under Louisiana law, and we handle them with the care and rigor the stakes demand.

Premises Liability
Property owners in Shreveport have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions. Slip and fall accidents, inadequate security incidents, and injuries caused by defective property can all give rise to a premises liability claim when that duty is breached.

Shreveport Statute of Limitations

Personal injury lawsuits that prevent the survivor of a victim from taking legal action are only permitted for two years. Regardless of how long you’ve been injured, our office is here to help initiate your claim promptly.

We hope that we can prevent added stress for those who have suffered due to another's negligence. If you discover new facts about your injury or relevant closures of industries, even a reasonable person may not be aware of the harm for a year. This is why timely legal action is crucial.

It is important that people injured by someone else take time to file a quick claim. Louisiana Code Chapter 231 also prohibits the filing of a lawsuit after a certain period following a vehicle injury or personal injury. Missing these key deadlines can result in losing the right to pursue compensation.

In Shreveport, understanding the timeframe for filing a personal injury lawsuit is crucial. Our team can guide you through the statute of limitations to ensure all claims are filed promptly. Missing such deadlines can forfeit your chance to seek justice, so we prioritize swift action in gathering necessary documentation and initiating legal proceedings.
