How Louisiana Brain Injury Lawyers Build Your Case
At Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys, every brain injury case is built like a winning courtroom strategy. Here’s how our Louisiana brain injury attorneys go to work for you:
- Launch a full-scale investigation — gathering police reports, witness statements, and medical records
- Partner with leading medical experts — neurologists, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation specialists who strengthen your claim
- Prove negligence — showing exactly how another party’s carelessness caused your injury
- Calculate total damages — accounting for lifelong care costs, lost earning capacity, and emotional suffering
- Fight through settlement or trial — refusing to back down until you receive maximum compensation
Our team has successfully built hundreds of Louisiana brain injury claims and knows precisely how to prove negligence in a Louisiana brain injury case.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
When negligence costs you your health, our Louisiana brain injury attorneys fight for every dollar the law allows. We pursue full compensation for:

- Punitive damages
Wondering what the average settlement for a TBI in Louisiana looks like? Results vary, but many cases reach hundreds of thousands or even millions, depending on injury severity and long-term care needs.
Understanding Louisiana Brain Injury Laws
Louisiana’s personal injury laws define your path to recovery—know these key rules:
- Statute of Limitations (How long to file a brain injury lawsuit in Louisiana): 2 years for injuries on or after July 1, 2024, and 1 year for those before.
- Comparative Fault: You can still recover damages even if partially at fault—your award just adjusts by your percentage of responsibility.
- Contingency Fee: Our Louisiana brain injury attorneys charge no upfront fees—we only get paid when you win.
Mistakes to Avoid After a Brain Injury in Louisiana
Small errors can sabotage even the strongest claims. Steer clear of these pitfalls:
- Delaying emergency medical care — even if symptoms seem minor initially
- Speaking with insurance adjusters solo — without your attorney present
- Broadcasting accident information online — social media posts can be weaponized against you
- Missing filing deadlines — Louisiana’s statutes don’t offer second chances
Already stumbled? Contact Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys immediately—we specialize in damage control and can still safeguard your rights.
Common Legal Challenges in Brain Injury Cases
Brain injury litigation ranks among personal injury law’s most intricate battlegrounds—medically and financially. Expect obstacles like:
- Insurance carriers minimize symptom severity — downplaying cognitive and behavioral changes
- Contested long-term disability projections — fighting over future medical expense estimates
- “Invisible injury” skepticism — proving impairment despite lack of visible trauma
- Delayed or disputed diagnoses — particularly with conditions like post-concussion syndrome
Armed with over 679+ years of combined legal experience, our Louisiana personal injury attorneys possess the knowledge and resources to demolish these barriers and deliver results.
