Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

You’re walking through the grocery store and all of a sudden you’re laying on your back with searing pain radiating through your Sciatic Nerve. Or perhaps you were jogging and a neighbour’s dog ran out and bit you. You may have been riding your bike and gotten hit by a distracted driver. These are just a few of the many ways someone else can be responsible for pain and suffering in your life. If you have been injured and you believe it was someone else’s fault, you don’t have long to act. You have a lot of questions running through your head, and you need answers. Often, one of the first questions you are thinking about revolves around whether you are going to need an attorney or whether this situation will work out on its own.

If you can answer yes to one or more of these, it is time you reach out to a Covington, LA personal injury attorney at Ellen Cronin Badeaux:

“I am permanently disabled now.”
A serious injury or permanent disable is going to change your life forever. You may not be able to work at the same job or even work at all. You’ll have lifelong medical bills. You may not be able to enjoy the lifestyle you once did, and hobbies like jogging or playing with your kids is out of the question. You deserve justice, in the form of the responsible party being held accountable. Hiring a personal injury lawyer could be the only way to prevent serious, lifelong financial stress for you and your family that eventually ends in filing for bankruptcy.

“The insurance company denied me.”
Insurance companies know that most people do not understand all the complicated laws and procedures that take place in a personal injury claim. They will try and take advantage of this! They will flat out deny a person’s legitimate injury claim because they hope you will do nothing about it. But you won’t! You’ll bring in a legal team of your own, made up of Covington, LA’s best personal injury attorneys from Ellen Cronin Badeaux. We will fight for you!
