Confidential Legal Help for Injured Immigrants in Baton Rouge
For many injured immigrants, the biggest barrier to getting help is fear. You may worry that reporting an accident or contacting a lawyer could put you or your family at risk of deportation. We want to be clear: what you tell us, stays with us. Your consultation with Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys is protected by attorney-client privilege.
Our purpose is to help you recover from your injuries. Our focus is on holding the negligent party accountable, not on your immigration status. We will handle all communications with insurance companies to ensure you are not asked improper or intimidating questions. Let us be your trusted advocates so you can focus on getting better.
Legal Rights for Injured Undocumented Residents
In Louisiana, justice is for everyone. The law does not check your passport before determining who was at fault for a car accident. If another driver’s negligence caused your injuries in Baton Rouge, you have the absolute right to seek financial compensation for the damages you have suffered.
Your status as a citizen, visa holder, or undocumented immigrant does not change the fact that you have medical bills to pay and have lost income from being unable to work. As your injury immigration attorney, our job is to prove the other party was at fault and fight for the full value of your claim.
How Personal Injury Claims Impact Immigration Status
This is a common and valid concern. In the vast majority of cases, filing a personal injury claim will have no negative impact on your current or future immigration status. A lawsuit for an accident is a civil matter, handled completely separately from federal immigration law and enforcement. The money you receive in a settlement is to compensate you for losses, not as income that could affect your case.
In some situations, your injury case can even create a new opportunity for legal status. If you were the victim of a violent crime, you may be eligible for a U Visa. Our knowledgeable team can help you understand all your options.
Compensation for Injured Non-U.S. Citizens in Baton Rouge
A broken bone, a hospital stay, and time away from work cost the same no matter where you were born. A personal injury settlement for non-citizens is calculated based on one thing only: the extent of the harm done to you. You are entitled to demand compensation for every single loss.
This includes all of your medical treatment, physical therapy, lost earnings and future loss of income, property damage, and money for your physical pain and emotional trauma. Insurance companies may try to undervalue your claim, but we won’t let them. With over 230+ Million dollar verdicts and settlements, we have a proven track record of fighting for maximum compensation for our clients.
