If you were hurt, the answer is probably yes.
Asking costs nothing. Tell us what happened, and one of our attorneys will review the details and give you a clear answer, including when a lawyer would not help you.
We take every level of injury case. If you may not need a lawyer, we will tell you honestly, and the advice costs nothing.
Usually not.
We charge an attorney’s fee only if we get a result for you. Our attorneys negotiate with insurance companies every day and know Louisiana law, so on balance a lawyer gets a better offer, and you are spared the calls, forms and paperwork of handling the claim yourself.
Wanting your medical bills and lost pay covered is not greedy. That is what the claim exists to do.
You can, but be careful what you say.
If you are found 51 percent or more at fault in Louisiana, you receive nothing, so a poorly chosen word or an accidental admission of fault can cost you the claim.
Our attorneys can speak to the insurer for you and protect your interests.
First, get the care you need.
While the claim is open, bills can be paid in more than one way, such as your own health insurance or a doctor who agrees to wait until the case is resolved.
Our team works out which option fits you, because it depends on your coverage and your injuries.
Probably not.
Saying you were fine at first, signing a form or being partly at fault rarely ends a claim.
Tell us what happened, and our attorneys will go over it with you.
No one can give you an honest number on the first call.
The value depends on injuries that are still healing. We do not settle until you have finished treatment and the full cost of your injury is known.
One of the most common mistakes is settling before you have healed, often under pressure from an early offer.
A person answers. An attorney reviews it. You decide.
An intake specialist answers, day or night. They take your information, ask what happened and sort out the key facts, then set a time for you to talk with an attorney, usually immediately or within 24 hours.
You decide nothing on that call.

Below we walk through how a Louisiana personal injury claim works: who can be held responsible, what the law lets you recover, and what to do now.
How a claim works, who can be made to pay, what the law lets you recover, and what to do now.
Personal injury law covers harm caused by another person's or entity's act or omission. In a successful personal injury case, the person who suffered the injury (the plaintiff) has a right to pursue monetary compensation from the individual who caused the harm (the defendant). This compensation is intended to return the injured party to their pre-injury state.
The goal is to make you whole again, financially and in terms of non-economic losses.
According to data published by the Louisiana Department of Health, injuries are the leading cause of lifelong disabilities and death in Louisiana among people 44 and younger. Our Covington personal injury lawyers handle a range of personal injury cases, including but not limited to:
The filing process differs for each case type. Our personal injury lawyers in Covington have the knowledge to assist you in pursuing your injury claim.
To win compensation in a Louisiana injury case, you must prove the accused was negligent when they caused your injury. Negligence is a tort defined as the failure to exercise a reasonable or appropriate level of care to ensure others do not get injured. It is the basis for most personal injury claims, from car to oil field accidents.
To prove negligence in Louisiana, you and your attorney must present evidence to demonstrate the following elements:
A skilled personal injury lawyer in Covington can help you gather evidence to prove another party is liable for your accident.
Some states presume negligence when a defendant breaks a safety statute, a doctrine called negligence per se. Louisiana does not (Faucheaux v. Terrebonne Consol. Gov't, 615 So.2d 289 (La. 1993)). A broken statute or regulation is evidence of fault, and the case still shows that the rule was meant to prevent this kind of harm and that the violation caused it.
For example, a drunk driver who causes a truck accident breaks Louisiana's drunk driving law. That violation is evidence of fault, and when the intoxication helped cause the crash and the driving showed wanton or reckless disregard for others, it can also support punitive damages (La. C.C. Art. 2315.4).
An intentional tort is any deliberate act or omission that causes harm to property or a person. Examples of personal injury cases resulting from intentional torts include:
Intentional tort cases are complex, and recovering damages can be difficult because insurance generally does not cover damages when a person commits an intentional tort. Our legal team handles these cases.
Trey Morris Injury Lawyers is a personal injury law firm serving Covington and St. Tammany Parish, with an office at 661 River Highland Boulevard. Covington wrecks happen on I-12, on US-190 and LA-21 where they run through town, on LA-25, and on Causeway Boulevard, and the people in them are taken to St. Tammany Parish Hospital on South Tyler Street or to Lakeview Hospital on Judge Tanner Boulevard. Inside the city limits the Covington Police Department writes the crash report; outside them, from Madisonville to Abita Springs, it is the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office. St. Tammany suits are filed and tried in the 22nd Judicial District Court at 701 North Columbia Street, and the Clerk of Court in the same building holds the pleadings. We pull the report, request the hospital records, and send the other driver's insurer written notice that you are represented.
The law behind the claim is Louisiana law and it is the same in every parish. A Covington personal-injury claim is a two-year filing under Louisiana Civil Code article 3493.1, measured from the day the injury is sustained; earlier injuries fall under the prior one-year period. Trey Morris Injury Lawyers handles that Northshore file, including truck accident claims, under the prescription rule this page teaches, and we do not treat the deadline as optional.
At Trey Morris Injury Lawyers, we represent clients hurt by the carelessness or wrongdoing of others. Whether you were injured in a motorcycle crash or truck accident, our Covington personal injury lawyers provide legal counsel and representation throughout your claim.
When an injury results from someone else's negligence, the quality of your legal representation directly affects your case outcome.
The Covington personal injury attorneys, paralegals, and assistants at Trey Morris Injury Lawyers understand Louisiana personal injury laws and have a track record of results. View our case results for specifics.

Our Covington injury lawyers have the resources, connections, and skills to prepare your case and pursue the best possible outcome. We are familiar with personal injury cases and are willing to go to trial when settlement is not adequate.
For every type of personal injury case (product liability, motorcycle crash, or construction accident) a wide variety of injuries can occur. If you suffered an injury because of a negligent person or entity, you may be entitled to compensation for those injuries.
Bodily injuries are physical injuries that harm different parts of your body. Catastrophic injuries can require extensive medical treatment, intensive surgery, and years of rehabilitation. They may result in permanent scarring, disfigurement, or disability.
Common physical injuries include:
Not all injuries are visible. A traumatic accident can leave you with both physical and psychological injuries that can have long-term effects on your life.
Common psychological injuries include:
Whether it is a slip-and-fall accident or an offshore accident, you may be entitled to monetary compensation from the individual or business legally responsible for your injuries. Compensation can take the form of economic damages, non-economic damages, or punitive damages.
Economic damages refer to losses that have a verifiable monetary value. They are designed to compensate you for the financial harm you suffered due to the accident. They typically include:
Unlike economic damages, non-economic damages do not have a verifiable monetary value, but they are equally important. They are intended to compensate you for subjective, non-financial harm you suffered.
Non-economic damages in Covington personal injury claims include:
Louisiana allows punitive damages only when a statute authorizes them (Ross v. Conoco, Inc., 828 So.2d 546 (La. 2002)), so they are not available in most personal injury cases. Where a statute does allow them, such as a crash caused by an intoxicated driver (La. C.C. Art. 2315.4), they punish the defendant and deter similar conduct.

Mr. Lane Robinson, Jessica, and Yadira has been with me every step of the way, making sure I received the proper care I needed to get well. They always called emailed and text to make sure I was doing OK.
The attorney was very honest and upfront, if he told me he was working on something he did just what he said. His assistants are the best and they all are very understanding and patient and attended my every need. This firm was God sent.
Seth and Jessica were always there to help and I could tell they truly had my best interest in mind. I was overwhelmed after my incident and they walked me through every step of the way and provided a lot of relief.
They were knowledgeable, compassionate, and always quick to respond. They made a stressful situation much easier, and I’m very grateful for their help. Special thanks to Austin Townsend and Lizzie.
They are very professional and stayed in contact with me for the whole experience. I would highly recommend Colby [my attorney] as your attorney. He will fight to get wha is owed to you.
Morris. He did great and helped me out a ton. Recieving his services was literally one of the best choices I made. I advise you all to make the same choice. You won't be sorry!!!
Client experiences are individual. These reviews do not predict the outcome of another case.
Your case gets a trial team, not a lone lawyer juggling hundreds of files.
How long you have to act, what hiring a lawyer costs, and how long a case takes.
Do not delay filing your personal injury claim in Covington. A filing deadline applies to every personal injury case. This is called the prescriptive period (what other states call the statute of limitations). Under Louisiana Civil Code article 3493.1, the time limit for Louisiana personal injury cases is two years from the day the injury is sustained (for injuries after July 1, 2024; earlier injuries fall under the prior one-year period). Exceptions that extend the deadline are rare. If you do not file your lawsuit before the deadline, your case may be dismissed. Speak with a Covington personal injury attorney promptly to protect your rights.
What your case may be worth, what to do now and what to bring when you meet a lawyer.
Yes. At Trey Morris Injury Lawyers, you pay nothing out-of-pocket. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we are paid only if we win your case. This allows injured people in Louisiana to obtain representation without upfront costs.
Partnering with an attorney soon after your injury helps ensure you take the right steps early. Some steps to take include: - Get medical attention right away - Report the injury to the appropriate authorities - Exchange information with other parties and witnesses - Gather evidence - Consult an attorney
Most personal injury claims settle out of court. Whether your case goes to trial depends on the specific facts and details of your case. Our personal injury attorneys near Covington are experienced trial attorneys and negotiators. Whether the case resolves inside or outside of court, we prepare for both.
Personal injury lawyers represent individuals who have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. They help clients seek compensation for damages such as medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses. They investigate the case, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent clients in court when necessary.
You can file a claim against a Louisiana government entity, but the filing window is limited. The time limit may be as little as 60 days from the date of injury, so prompt action is necessary. The process of filing against a government entity differs from the standard process. Your notice of claim is the foundation of your case and should include: - Your full legal name - Your current address - The date and location of the accident - A detailed account of how the accident occurred - A thorough explanation of the government's negligence and how it caused your injuries - A detailed description of all injuries you suffered and supporting medical bills and records If you have been hurt on government property, contact us to determine your legal options.
