What is Personal Injury Law?
Louisiana Civil Code Article 2315 (A) states:
“Every act whatever of man that causes damage to another obliges him by whose fault it happened to repair it.”
This statute is the foundation of Louisiana personal injury law. If you are injured because of the negligent or wrongful conduct of another party, you deserve to be compensated for your damages.
You can file a civil suit against the at-fault party to recover the compensation you deserve.
What Type of Compensation Can I Recover?
The type and amount of compensation you can recover depends on the facts of your case, including the extent of your damages.
In general, you can recover economic and non-economic damages to compensate you for your losses.
Punitive damages, also called exemplary damages, are designed not to compensate you for your damages but to punish the wrongdoer and deter future similar conduct. Punitive damages are rarely awarded and are only available if specifically provided for by law.
Economic damages you may be able to recover include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and other necessary expenses caused by your injuries.
Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other intangible losses.

How Do I Know If I Have a Case?
Our attorneys can advise you during a free consultation whether you have a good case. Generally, if another party’s fault caused your injury, you probably have a claim to recover compensation for your damages.
Louisiana follows a pure comparative fault rule set forth in Louisiana Civil Code Article 2323. This means that even if you were partially at fault in the accident that caused your injury, you may still be able to recover from the other at-fault parties. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you.
At Chris Corzo Injury Attorneys, we work hard to avoid or minimize any fault assigned to you and to maximize your compensation.
Why Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney?
- Insurance companies often use tricky tactics to deny or devalue your claim. An experienced personal injury attorney knows how to combat their tactics and hold them responsible for the full value of your damages.
- Litigation is expensive, but most personal injury attorneys will take your case on a contingency basis, so you pay nothing until compensation is won.
- A good personal injury attorney will know how to thoroughly investigate your accident or incident to determine all possible causes and potentially liable parties to maximize your recovery.
- You will almost always have a significantly better result when you have an experienced personal injury attorney representing you.
