Types of Injury Cases Affecting Immigrants in Shreveport
No matter how you were injured, your right to seek justice is not determined by your immigration status. Our Shreveport attorneys are here to help immigrants who have been harmed in any type of accident caused by another’s negligence.
Your Rights After a Car Accident as an Undocumented Immigrant
In Louisiana, the law is clear: the person responsible for an accident is liable for the damages they cause. This right to justice applies to everyone, regardless of their immigration status. If you were injured in a car accident in Shreveport, you have the right to sue the at-fault driver for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Do not let fear stop you from getting the help you need. The other party’s insurance company does not have the right to ask about your immigration status. Our job as your injury immigration attorney is to build a powerful case based on the facts of the accident and your injuries, ensuring you are treated with dignity and respect throughout the entire process.
Addressing the Fear of Deportation After an Accident
The number one reason injured immigrants hesitate to seek legal help is the fear of deportation. We want to be very clear: speaking with our law firm is completely confidential. We are here to protect you, not to report you. Your immigration status is irrelevant to the negligence that caused your injury.
Our goal is to help you recover financially and physically from your accident. We manage all communications with insurance companies and other attorneys, creating a shield to protect you from improper questions and intimidation. You can trust the team at Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys to be your fierce advocates and your trusted secret-keepers.
Will Suing for an Injury Affect My Immigration Status?
For most accident victims, filing a personal injury lawsuit will not negatively affect their immigration status. A personal injury claim is a civil matter between you and the person (or company) who harmed you. It is entirely separate from immigration enforcement, which is a federal matter.
In some specific cases, an injury case can actually help your immigration journey. Certain visas, like the U Visa, are designated for victims of serious crimes who assist law enforcement. If your injury was the result of a violent crime, we can help you explore whether you qualify for this type of visa. Our goal is to maximize your recovery while always protecting your future in this country.
Can an Undocumented Worker Sue for a Workplace Injury?
Yes. In Louisiana, all employees have the right to a safe work environment. If you were injured on the job in Shreveport or the surrounding area because of your employer’s negligence or unsafe conditions, you have the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. This is true whether you are a citizen, a visa holder, or an undocumented worker.
Many immigrants work in physically demanding jobs like construction and manufacturing, where the risk of injury is high. Companies that cut corners on safety must be held accountable. With 679+ years of combined legal experience of combined experience, our legal team of over over 180 employees, including 130+ staff and 47 attorneys knows how to build a strong workplace injury case and will fight to get you the compensation you are owed for your medical care and lost income.
