Muscle Strain Injury Lawyer in New Orleans

How Long Does a Strain Injury Claim Take in New Orleans?

Every case is different, but most muscle strain injury claims follow the same path. Understanding the phases can take some of the stress out of the process.

From the first call to the final verdict, Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys manages every step of your claim. Our process begins with a free consultation, where we assess your case and outline your options. If you choose to work with us, we immediately begin:

• Investigating the scene
• Gathering incident reports and medical records
• Interviewing witnesses

While we build your case, you focus on medical treatment. We usually wait until you reach maximum medical improvement, the point where doctors know your full recovery picture, before we put a value on your claim. Settling too early means settling for less.

Next, we send a demand to the insurance company and begin negotiation. Many soft tissue claims resolve at this stage within a few months. If the insurer refuses to pay what your case is worth, we file suit and prepare for trial. That can add time, but it often pushes insurers to offer real money.

Many muscle strain claims start with a crash, and our New Orleans car accident lawyers know how to prove that even a “low-speed” impact can cause real harm.

Our promise stays the same the whole way through: we handle the pressure and the paperwork while you heal. And with the G Guarantee, you pay nothing unless we win.
