With busy highways, growing neighborhoods, and active industrial areas, accidents here happen far too often. Whether it’s a rear-end crash on Creswell Lane, a fall at a local business, or a workplace injury, Brandt & Sherman is here to help you recover.

    What Compensation Can Victims Recover?

    A personal injury claim can help you recover damages for both short-term and long-term losses, such as:

    • Pain and suffering
    • Property damage
    • Emotional trauma

    FAQs About Personal Injury Cases in Opelousas

    Call 911, get medical attention, and exchange insurance information. If possible, take photos of the scene and contact an attorney before speaking with any insurance company.

    You have one year from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit (Louisiana Civil Code Article 3492). It’s best to contact a lawyer as soon as possible to preserve evidence.

    At Brandt & Sherman, consultations are free and there are no upfront fees. We only get paid if we win your case.

    If your injury happened on the job, you may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits and potentially a third-party claim. Our attorneys can explain both options and pursue all available recovery.

    Yes. Early settlement offers are often far below what your case is worth. A lawyer can review your claim and negotiate for the full amount you’re entitled to.
