Cases We Handle in Shreveport

Home » Shreveport Office

Major routes including I-20, I-49, and I-220 connect Shreveport with communities across North Louisiana and bring passenger vehicles and commercial traffic through the area every day. Our Shreveport personal injury lawyers represent people injured on these highways and local roads such as Youree Drive and Line Avenue.

Our team handles car accident claims, commercial truck crashes, 18-wheeler accidents, and motorcycle wrecks. Big or small, I handle them all™. When commercial vehicles are involved, evidence may include driver records, electronic vehicle data, maintenance documents, company records, and insurance information.

We also represent people hurt at work. That includes workers' compensation claims, industrial and plant accidents, and serious injuries involving fires or explosions.

For Shreveport-area workers whose jobs take them offshore or onto navigable waters, our offshore and maritime injury lawyers can review the circumstances and explain which state or federal laws may apply.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outstanding experience throughout my injury case, from the initial investigation to the final resolution. The services I received were exceptionally great. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism, compassion, and dedication. My Attorney Bret Robinson was very caring and informative.

I was able to receive all the medical attention I needed and was fairly compensated for my injuries. I always felt supported, valued, and informed throughout the entire process.

As an added special touch, I was presented with thoughtful gifts during my final visit, which made my experience even more memorable. It was truly a reflection of the outstanding customer care and appreciation shown to me.

I highly recommend Gordons to anyone in need of legal representation. You will be treated with professionalism, respect, and genuine care.

Courts Serving Shreveport and Northwest Louisiana

Where an injury lawsuit may be filed depends on where the accident occurred, the parties involved, and Louisiana's jurisdiction and venue rules.

Caddo Parish is served by the First Judicial District Court. The Caddo Parish Courthouse is located at 501 Texas Street in downtown Shreveport.

Across the Red River, the 26th Judicial District Court has jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters in Bossier and Webster Parishes. Its Bossier Parish courthouse is located at 204 Burt Boulevard in Benton.

Shreveport is also home to the Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeal, located at 430 Fannin Street. The Second Circuit serves the 20 northernmost parishes of Louisiana.

Not every injury claim will be filed in one of these courts. The proper court depends on the individual circumstances of the case.

What to Do After a Shreveport Car Accident

Start with your health and safety. Get medical attention when needed and notify law enforcement when required.

If you can safely do so:

Take photos or video of the vehicles, damage, roadway, traffic controls, and visible injuries.
Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver.
Get contact information from witnesses.
Keep medical bills, treatment records, repair information, and documentation of missed work.
Save emails, letters, and other communications involving insurance companies.
Be cautious about signing releases or settlement documents before you understand how they may affect your claim.

Louisiana law requires a driver to immediately notify the appropriate law enforcement agency when a crash results in an injury, death, or more than $500 in property damage.

If you were injured while working, notify your employer as soon as possible. Louisiana workers' compensation law generally requires notice to the employer within 30 days of the injury, although exceptions can apply.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Shreveport, LA?

For many Louisiana personal injury claims arising after July 1, 2024, Civil Code article 3493.1 generally provides a two-year prescriptive period beginning on the day the injury or damage occurs.

The 2024 law applies prospectively to delictual actions arising after its July 1, 2024 effective date. Claims arising earlier and certain other types of legal actions may follow different deadlines.

Waiting can also make evidence harder to locate, so it can be helpful to have the circumstances reviewed well before the applicable deadline.

What If I Was Partly at Fault?

Being partly responsible for an accident does not always mean you have no claim.

Under the current version of Louisiana Civil Code article 2323, effective January 1, 2026, a person whose negligence is 51% or greater generally cannot recover damages. If the person's share of negligence is below 51%, recoverable damages are generally reduced in proportion to that percentage.

Exceptions and other rules applied to Louisiana’s modified comparative law may affect a particular case, so fault should be evaluated based on the specific evidence rather than assumptions made immediately after an accident.
