Our law firm focuses on car accidents, truck crashes and other personal injury cases. If you have been injured in car or truck accident, it is important to remember your rights and things you must do to preserve them.

If You Have Been Injured in Car Accident in Covington:

1. 1. Get immediate medical attention if needed.
   2. Call the police and provide a detailed and thorough account of the car crash.
   3. Get the Item Number and Crash Report Number so that your attorney can order what is called the “Uniform Crash Report.”
   4. Get the at-fault driver’s insurance information such as their insurer’s name and policy information so that we can contact them and file a claim
   5. Call Kervin Law for a free consultation so we can advise you of your rights and duties and help you get the compensation you deserve.
      

Make sure you get an accident report from the proper law enforcement agency. That may be the Louisiana State Police, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office or Covington Police Department.

Also be sure you exchange insurance information with the other driver. Under Louisiana law, the person who files a personal injury claim must also have insurance.

If that person does not have car insurance, then the first $15,000 of your claim is eliminated. This is called the “no pay, no play rule.” We have had this rule used against our clients in the past.

We also need to know the name of the automobile insurance company so that we can contact them after the accident. Once we do that, an adjuster is assigned to your case.

Do I Need to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

We try and work with your adjuster to settle the claim before going to court. If we are unable to settle your claim out of court, we will file a personal injury lawsuit in the proper venue or parish.

We will seek all damages to which you are legally entitled. This may include medical bills, lost wages and court costs, just to name a few categories of compensable damaged.

Our office is located at 1978 N. Hwy 190, Suite A, Covington, LA 70433. When you need a Car Accident Lawyer in Covington, call us and we will be there for you.
