These are the matters we have built process around: evidence preservation, records workflow, and one attorney from intake through resolution.
Car Accidents
Rear-end, intersection, hit-and-run, UM/UIM claims. We document early so the carrier cannot revise the story later.
Truck Accidents
Commercial vehicle collisions involving federal motor carrier rules, log-book evidence, and corporate insurance defense.
Premise Liability
Slip and trip injuries on commercial property. Notice, condition, and the owner's duty under La. Civ. Code arts. 2317.1 and 2322.
Wrongful Death
Representation of surviving spouses, children, and parents under La. Civ. Code arts. 2315.1 and 2315.2.
Catastrophic Injuries
Spinal, multiple-fracture, and surgical recovery cases requiring future-care planning and life-care expert work.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Closed-head TBI cases. Neurocognitive testing, vocational impact, and the long-tail symptoms carriers prefer to ignore.
How a personal injury case works at Spurgeon Law
- 1. Intake (today). Tell us what happened. We confirm jurisdiction and run a conflicts check. If we cannot represent you, we say so on the call.
- 2. Evidence (week 1). Police reports, medical records, photographs, and commercial-vehicle electronic data are gathered before anything goes stale.
- 3. Treatment and documentation. We coordinate with treating providers so the medical record reflects what actually happened.
- 4. Demand and negotiation. A demand package built around your medical record and a documented theory of liability.
- 5. Suit, if needed. We file. Carriers respect lawyers who actually try cases, not just settle them.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to talk to a personal injury attorney?
The first conversation is free. If we take your case, the fee is a percentage of the recovery (contingency), and we discuss the exact percentage before you sign anything. Depending on the written agreement, you may also be responsible for court costs and case expenses in addition to the fee. The agreement spells this out before you sign anything.
What is Louisiana's deadline to file a personal injury suit?
For incidents after July 1, 2024, two years from the date of injury under La. Civ. Code art. 3493.1. For earlier incidents, one year under former art. 3492. Some claims are shorter. Treat every timeline as urgent until an attorney confirms it.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle. We prepare every case as if it will be tried, which is precisely why most settle on terms you can accept.
What if I was partly at fault?
It depends on when it happened. For incidents on or after January 1, 2026, Louisiana uses modified comparative fault (La. Civ. Code art. 2323 as amended in 2025): if you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your share; at 51% or more, you recover nothing. Earlier incidents follow pure comparative fault, where partial fault reduces but does not eliminate a claim.
