The Greenwald Law Firm represents any personal injury claim on a contingency basis. That means you pay nothing unless we win just compensation on your behalf.

Here’s what “no recovery no fee” means at our firm:

• First, your initial consultation is absolutely free.
• Next, there are no hourly fees.
• Finally, you owe no up-front expenses as we work on your case.
• You only pay us a percentage if there is a recovery.

When you obtain qualified legal assistance for help with your personal injury case, your attorney will work to secure you financial compensation for the losses you’ve experienced as a result of your physical injuries. These are what are called “damages.” At Greenwald Law Firm, our Shreveport personal injury lawyers will fight for maximum compensation for you.

The extent of the damages you are able to receive depends on the extent of your injuries. For example, in a catastrophic injury case (meaning a serious injury that results in lifelong impairment), the injured victim will likely receive a higher settlement or court award than they would for a relatively minor injury. This is because the need for ongoing medical treatment is typically a factor, so the payout received must account for all future expenses as well as compensate the victim for the pain and suffering and mental anguish they likely endured.

When we take on personal injury claims, our attorneys will begin by negotiating with the insurance company to provide a payout that accounts for all economic and non-economic damages, including all present and future medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, mental distress, and more. If the insurance company refuses to offer an amount we believe fair, we will begin settlement negotiations with the at-fault party. We are also prepared to take your case to trial and fight for appropriate damages there.

No matter what, your personal injury attorneys at the Greenwald Law Firm will make sure you receive the damages you are entitled to under Louisiana’s personal injury law.

Whether you were involved in a car accident or a slip and fall accident on someone else’s property, the injuries you sustain can take a devastating toll on both you and your family. This is especially true for cases involving catastrophic injuries. Injuries mean medical bills, losing time at work, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and missing out on the things you like to do.

Severe injuries can and will change your life forever, and obtaining compensation for your injuries can be a difficult task. That’s why, if you’ve been injured, you’ll want a personal injury lawyer you can trust. By equipping yourself with the help of someone who has attended law school, received a law degree, and practiced law for a number of years, you set yourself up for the best possible outcome. This is true for cases of family law, criminal law, and of course, personal injury law. Whatever your case type, you want someone with the knowledge and experience it takes to secure you a favorable outcome.

Many factual and legal issues come into play when evaluating personal injury claims. At the Greenwald Law Firm, our firm’s lawyers have years of experience handling a variety of personal injury cases in Shreveport, Louisiana and the surrounding areas. Just take a look at some of our case results! Just as we have with many before, we stand ready to assist in your important personal injury case.

If you’ve been injured, it is critically important for you to understand the amount of time you have to file a Louisiana personal injury claim. This is because the law only gives injured people so long to file a lawsuit after an injury. If you wait too long, you will likely have your case dismissed and will have no way to be compensated for your injuries.

Under the statute of limitations, Louisiana law provides you with one year from the date of your accident to file a suit. Louisiana also has a couple of ways that the time period to file suit can be extended. First, Louisiana uses the “discovery rule,” which keeps your one-year period from starting until you have knowledge of your claim. This is particularly important in occupational disease and medical malpractice cases, where you might not become aware of your claim until more than a year later.

Because time is a factor, it is important to call The Greenwald Law Firm today to make the first step toward restitution. Can’t make it to our Louisiana law offices? A personal injury lawyer from our firm can come to you at your home, workplace, or hospital. Case files and information can also be accessed at the click of a mouse, allowing information to be expedited between our team and other legal professionals.

If someone causes you harm – physical, financial or otherwise the State of Louisiana requires the responsible party to pay for it., according to La.C.C. Art. 2315. Louisiana law recognizes the following non-exclusive types of personal injury matters:

• Adults
• Minors
• Property

If you, your child, or your loved one sustained injuries due to someone else’s negligence, obtaining legal representation as soon as possible can make all the difference in your case. As soon as you establish an attorney-client relationship with Joey Greenwald, he will begin building your case. Over time, evidence is lost and witness testimonies fade in memory. Plus, failure to bring a case within the certified timeframe (one year) can mean your case is dismissed altogether. So, the sooner you acquire the legal services of an experienced Shreveport personal injury lawyer, the better.
