Standing up for car accident victims across Louisiana.
We handle the hard parts so you can focus on recovery.
After a wreck, insurance companies move fast — often before you’ve had a chance to fully understand your injuries or your rights. As a
former Louisiana Assistant Attorney General, Gerald Hampton has seen the tactics insurers use to minimize claims. Hampton & Harrison Law handles every step: investigating police reports, speaking with witnesses, reviewing medical records, and negotiating with insurers for the compensation you deserve. We focus on protecting your future while you focus on recovery.
Navigating Car Accident Claims in Louisiana
Why car accidents are so common here
Busy interstates like I-10 and I-610, tight downtown intersections, and year-round tourism make New Orleans one of Louisiana’s most crash-prone areas. Add in distracted driving, speeding, or drunk driving during festival weekends, and serious injuries happen far too often. Our New Orleans car accident lawyers know the city’s traffic patterns, accident hotspots, and how to build cases that hold negligent drivers accountable.
Dealing with insurance the right way
After an accident, notify your insurer but avoid giving recorded statements to the other driver’s insurance company without legal guidance. We handle all communication to prevent missteps that could weaken your claim. From the first call, Hampton & Harrison Law takes the stress out of the process and ensures every conversation strengthens your position.
What to know about Louisiana accident claims
Louisiana law follows a
comparative fault system, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault — though your award is reduced by your share of responsibility. Most car accident claims must be filed within one year, so quick action is critical. Our team helps clients recover for medical costs, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering, and explores uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage when needed.
Our approach to car accident cases
Every case starts with a fast, thorough investigation. We gather traffic camera footage, witness statements, and accident-reconstruction evidence to prove liability. Our attorneys calculate the full impact of your losses — not just today’s costs but long-term needs like future medical treatment or diminished earning capacity. We don’t settle for quick offers; we push for what’s fair under Louisiana law.

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Louisiana?
You generally have one year from the date of the crash to file. Waiting too long could bar recovery.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Under Louisiana’s comparative fault rules, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault but not eliminated.
What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?
You may be able to file under your uninsured or underinsured motorist policy. We help clients navigate those claims.
How much compensation can I get after a car accident?
It depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We work to ensure all losses are included in your claim.
