Alexandria Personal Injury Attorneys

Our personal injury lawyers that service Alexandria, LA, and its surrounding communities of Pineville, Marksville, and Bunkie have years of experience fighting for clients whose lives have been devastated by tragic accidents caused by the negligence of others.

Our track record of success includes a $7.45 million jury verdict for the widow and children of an offshore worker from Marksville who died tragically while on the job. Unfortunately, this type of recovery does not come easy. Corporations and insurance companies that put profits ahead of public safety often refuse to acknowledge their mistakes and accept responsibility.

LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST BP

The BP Oil Spill litigation remains one of the largest and most complex cases ever tried in the United States. Our firm was trusted with a leadership role in this historic fight to hold BP accountable for its gross negligence, which claimed eleven lives and devastated countless others. HKGC partner Soren Gisleson helped guide the litigation from the beginning, taking on critical responsibilities that shaped the outcome—ranging from depositions and expert preparation to drafting key pleadings and advancing settlement efforts.

Our firm was instrumental in negotiating the uncapped, multi-billion-dollar settlement with BP. The settlement ended up being so favorable to victims of the spill that BP actually took the unprecedented step of appealing the terms of a settlement that it actually agreed to in writing.

WHEN CAN I FILE AN INJURY LAWSUIT?

The majority of injury claims allege that another individual or corporation was negligent and caused the victim’s injuries. For example, a car accident victim may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against a driver who ignored a traffic signal, rear-ended them, and/or otherwise acted carelessly and caused an accident. Likewise, an offshore worker may be able to pursue a personal injury claim against the employer of a fellow worker who acted carelessly and caused him to be injured.

If the personal injury victim can prove their case, they may be able to recover certain monetary damages from the negligent party and/or their insurance company. These monetary damages are intended to “make the victim whole,” or in other words, to place the victim in the position that they would have been in had the accident not occurred. Monetary damages for a personal injury victim might include past and future medical expenses, lost wages/earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. A number of factors will determine how much your case is worth, including the severity of the injury and any fault you may have in causing the accident.
