Your Local Advocate in Baton Rouge: The Personal Touch
Understanding the intricacies of Baton Rouge's legal environment is crucial when addressing personal injury claims. Baton Rouge, known for its bustling economic activity and vibrant community life, also brings specific challenges. Traffic incidents are prevalent on major roadways such as I-10 and I-12, where heavy commuting and economic transport can lead to increased accidents. Baton Rouge is also prone to higher rates of work-related injuries due to its industrial presence.
At Arnold & Itkin, our knowledge of local norms and regulations gives our clients a significant advantage. We navigate municipal laws effectively, ensuring that claims are handled comprehensively and efficiently. Our attorneys are acutely aware of the local safety hazards and labor laws affecting the residents. We leverage this understanding to advocate tirelessly for our clients, addressing specific regional risks and challenges.
Our approach includes engaging with local experts and resources to construct the strongest possible case, reinforcing our dedication to achieving justice and maximum compensation for those we serve.
Getting Maximum Compensation for Louisiana Plaintiffs
Personal injury claims are based on an old legal concept that people who cause harm to others have an obligation to “make them whole.” By causing an accident, a negligent employer or company has robbed a plaintiff of something vital—often their job, health, or financial stability. Our job is to make sure these entities make our clients whole again, which means giving our clients everything they need to rebuild their lives.
Our relentless pursuit of justice not only covers medical expenses and lost wages but also addresses long-term needs, ensuring ongoing financial support and rehabilitation services necessary for a complete recovery. We meticulously assess every facet of each claim, working with experts to establish the full impact of the injury. This comprehensive approach ensures that we secure settlements and verdicts that accurately reflect the true cost of our clients' suffering and the resources they require to move forward with their lives.
Our track record in Louisiana proves our approach is correct:
- $117 million verdict for an ambulance accident victim—the largest single-injury verdict in Louisiana history.
- $27.7 million verdict for the family of a fatally injured offshore worker—the largest wrongful death award in Louisiana history.
- $23 million settlement for a Louisiana plant worker after a grievous accident.
- $16.5 million settlement for a crane rigging accident in Louisiana.
In total, our firm has secured over $20 billion in verdicts and settlements. Defendants have often been forced to settle with our clients over and above what they originally offered; in other cases, they faced us in court, where a jury decisively ruled in favor of our clients. In either case, our firm’s success is built on our relentless advocacy and trial preparation, which forces big companies to take our clients seriously.
Holding the Line Against Insurance Companies
After an accident, insurance companies have a single goal: limit your liability as much as possible.
But while you’re a line in a ledger to them, ‘limiting your liability’ means something far more personal to you. It means getting denied the medical care you need; losing your wages, job, or even career; or facing a lifetime of medical bills, debt, and insecurity. Because insurers are so much bigger and have more resources than almost any individual person, it puts you at an immediate disadvantage. You either have to accept their terms…or go without the benefits you desperately need.
Our Baton Rouge personal injury lawyers make it our mission to protect you from insurers, whether they’re representing the other party or even your own policy. Once a plaintiff reaches out to us, insurers are required—by law—to deal with us exclusively. And insurers find we’re not so easy to push around.
We leverage our extensive legal understanding and negotiating prowess to counteract insurance tactics meant to minimize your compensation. Our Louisiana personal injury team is well-versed in insurance company strategies and continuously adapts our approach to effectively counter them, ensuring that the insurance providers are obliged to honor their commitment to you. We are dedicated to safeguarding your rights and pursuing the full benefits you are entitled to, ensuring that you have the means to support yourself and your loved ones after an injury.

Among our many practice areas, our injury lawyers in Baton Rouge investigate claims related to:
What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?
Immediately following an accident, it is crucial to ensure your safety and the safety of others involved:
- If possible, move to a safe location away from traffic or any further danger.
- Contact local authorities and report the incident, even if injuries seem minor.
- Collect contact information from all parties involved, including witnesses.
- Document the scene by taking photos and notes that capture the details.
- Seek medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor.
Engaging with a Baton Rouge personal injury attorney quickly can also help preserve your rights and gather vital evidence to support your claim effectively.
In Louisiana, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally one year from the date of the accident. This time frame means you have a limited window to initiate legal proceedings following your injury. It's important to act quickly to preserve evidence, gather documents, and build a strong claim. Consulting with a personal injury lawyer in Baton Rouge soon after the incident can ensure all legal deadlines are met and your rights are fully protected. Failing to file within this period could result in forfeiting your right to seek compensation for your injuries.
