Mansfield Personal Injury Lawyers

30 Years of combined legal experience in Personal Injury & Workers Compensation

Personal Injury Law Firm in Mansfield, LA

Helping those who have been injured due to the fault of another in a personal injury claim.

Personal injury law encompasses a wide range of injuries. If you were involved in an accident that led to your own personal injury, consulting with an experienced personal injury lawyer in Mansfield is always a good idea. This will help ensure that your case is handled diligently and that insurance companies and the courts take your claim seriously. 

Any personal injury claim will depend primarily on liability, damages, and whether or not you are able to collect from the negligent party or parties. Louisiana has adopted the legal doctrine of  “comparative negligence,” meaning in all cases–except those of intentional tort resulting in personal injury–a claimant’s recovery is reduced by his or her percentage of fault if any is found during the investigation.

Whether you have been injured in a car accident, truck accident, at work, by a defective product, on someone else’s property, or are otherwise injured due to another person’s negligence, you need someone who fights for your quick recovery – both physically and financially. You can rely on our Northwest Louisiana personal injury lawyers at Gordon and Gordon Law Firm to walk you through the legal system and make sure your best interests are represented fairly. Give us a call at 318-716-HELP (or complete our online intake form) for a free consultation regarding your case today.

Common Personal Injury Cases

A person may receive injuries in any number of ways, but only if the injuries were caused by another person’s negligence can the injured party file a personal injury claim against the negligent individual. Some of the more common types of personal injury cases include:

Auto Accidents

An auto accident encompasses many different types of motor vehicle accidents, including (but not limited to) car accidents, truck accidents, commercial vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, 18-wheeler accidents, and more. These accidents can be a result of anything from distracted driving to drunk driving to even defective automobile parts or hazardous road conditions. At Gordon & Gordon, the types of claims we typically handle are highly focused on those resulting from Louisiana car accidents, which we believe helps make us much more effective.

Pedestrian Accidents

Walking, jogging, hiking, riding a bicycle, or even sitting are all activities pedestrians may typically engage in. Regardless of what the pedestrian was doing, a motor vehicle colliding with them can lead to devastating injuries. The North Louisiana pedestrian accident lawyers at Gordon & Gordon handle all kinds of pedestrian injury cases, including those involving bicycle accidents and even hit-and-run accidents.

Maritime Accidents

Louisiana has a large number of people working offshore or in the coastal area of the Gulf of Mexico. This means it sees its fair share of boating accidents. Working aboard a cargo ship, barge, jack-up rig, oil platform, ferry, cruise ship, or other maritime vessel is typically very risky and can present any number of offshore accidents and injuries. Negligence on the part of offshore employers and vessel owners may raise the risk of serious injury or fatality. This is where our Louisiana offshore injury lawyers can help.

Premises Liability

Louisiana premises liability law establishes a property owner’s legal duties and responsibility to others who are inside the bounds of their land or property. These responsibilities require a property owner to fulfill a certain standard of care by maintaining a reasonably safe premises for any persons visiting their land or property. This means taking action to address any hazards that may foreseeably cause injury to another person, such as slip and fall accidents, dog bites, or more. Failure to do so could result in a premises liability lawsuit.

Product Liability

When a defective product cause harm, the responsible parties should be held liable. Whether you were burned by an exploding vape pen or your carpet was charred by a defective vacuum, product flaws can result in serious damage and injury. If this is the case for you or a loved one, our LA defective product attorneys at Gordon & Gordon can help you pursue a product liability claim.

Medical Malpractice

Medical professionals have an even higher standard of care that is required of them than the average person. They are legally obligated to provide appropriate care that any reasonable healthcare provider would provide in the same or similar circumstances. Failure to do this could lead to further illness, catastrophic injuries, and even wrongful death. In any case, a medical malpractice claim against the neglient physician may be necessary. 

Workplace Accidents

On-the-job injuries in Louisiana are unfortunately very common. This is especially true for those who work in hard labor fields and typically deal with heavy machinery. For example, at Gordon & Gordon, we see a lot of construction injury claims arising from construction accidents involving scaffolding injuries, malfunctioning machinery, and falls from heights. We also see our fair share of Louisiana oilfield accident claims arising from defective equipment or oilfield explosions. A Mansfield personal injury lawyer from our firm can help injured workers with both personal injury and workers’ compensation claims in Northwest Louisiana
