Car Accident Law Firm in Shreveport, LA
Helping those who have been injured due to the fault of another in a car accident.
Not only do the consequences of a serious accident stretch beyond physical injuries, it can affect your ability to work and completely change all means by which you provide for yourself and those who depend on it. When a car accident is serious enough to cause fatal or severe injuries, or if alcohol was involved, the state will likely prosecute the driver who was at fault. For all other types of car accidents, you, the other driver, and your insurance companies may be left to deal with medical bills and car repair expenses. Often, these issues are resolved in court with the help of experienced Shreveport car accident attorneys.
By hiring a Shreveport car accident lawyer, you are allowing a locally trained professional to deal with the legal hassle associated with your case. It is their job to understand the applicable laws, deadlines, filing requirements, courtroom rules, and many other procedural facets of your case that you may not be familiar with. Gordon & Gordon injury attorneys have been doing this for a living in the Shreveport, LA and surrounding areas, which has given them a basis of knowledge, experience, and instinct to fall back on that most people would never have going into such an important case.
We do not charge any fees, or even ask for reimbursement of our expenses, unless you get a settlement.
What are the primary causes of car accidents in Shreveport, LA?

What steps should you take following a Shreveport car accident?
1. Move to a safe area before you stop the vehicle if you can
If moving your car isn’t possible, flip on your hazards to warn other drivers that your vehicle isn’t going anywhere. Take a moment to catch your breath. Check to make sure it’s safe to get out of your car before opening the door.
2. Check on others involved in the car accident.
Check on all the other parties involved, including drivers, passengers, and pedestrians around to make sure that nobody is injured. Call 911 immediately if anyone may be injured at the scene. Even a seemingly minor symptom like dizziness or slight pain should be checked out by a health care professional to make sure there is no internal injury.
3. Call the police to the scene of the car accident.
Even in minor accidents, a police accident report can prove invaluable when dealing with your car insurance company and other drivers. Cooperate fully with the officers, but avoid admitting fault or blaming others while at the scene. Let the police objectively judge events and determine who, if anyone, is at fault in the crash.
4. Gather information.
- Driver and passenger names
- License plate numbers
- Insurance information
- Makes and models of all vehicles involved
- Contact information of any witness to the accident
- The name and badge number of any responding police officers
5. File your insurance claim.
Call your insurance provider from the scene of the car accident, or file it through your smartphone. If you aren’t sure who to call, check your insurance ID card for your insurer’s contact information.
