Over 45 Years of Results Throughout Louisiana

Personal injury attorneys who put people first

For over 45 years, the attorneys at Unglesby Law Firm have been guided by a single vision: to be a major contributor to the delivery of justice by standing up for injured people and their families. We’ve fought for clients in nationally recognized cases and obtained record-setting results for our clients in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and throughout Louisiana.

We believe victories are worth sharing. We’ve recovered over $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for our clients, including:

• $18.9 million for a truck driver injured on I-10.
• $12.7 million for severe burn injury victims.
• $10.3 million for a worker who was exposed to asbestos.
• $29.5 million in a class action for Livingston Parish residents exposed to toxic waste.

We’re proud of our results because they’re about more than just numbers. They’re about people. We fight for the best possible outcome in each case by relentlessly pursuing justice and treating our clients like family.

We’d be honored to listen to your story if you’ve been injured in an accident or by toxic exposure in Louisiana. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Mesothelioma & Work-Related Cancers

Thanks to shipping and industrialization along the Mississippi River, workers and residents of our region have been exposed to extremely high levels of cancer-causing substances. For example, asbestos exposure in industrial plants causes thousands of cases of mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other lung diseases. In addition, refinery workers are exposed to benzene and other dangerous chemicals that harm the lungs, heart, and skin. Our workers and communities deserve justice, and we pursue it to the fullest extent of the law.

Unglesby Law Firm has a proven track record of results in mesothelioma and other cancer cases for workers in the Cancer Alley region (St. Charles Parish, St. James Parish, and St. John the Baptist Parish) and throughout Louisiana. We know how to thoroughly investigate cancer cases and relentlessly pursue full compensation.

Industrial companies have extensive resources and teams of attorneys defending their actions. We have the resources and experience to level the playing field for victims. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with work-related cancer, contact us today.

Brain Injuries, Burn Injuries & Other Severe Injuries

When you have a life-altering injury, the stakes are high. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can permanently affect your ability to work and do the things you love. In addition, burn injuries may require extensive medical treatment, such as painful skin grafts. They can also cause permanent disfigurement. Losing a limb or damage to an internal organ can change your life. You have rights, and we can fight for them.

Insurance companies don’t mess around when it comes to severe injury cases. They understand the stakes and pour resources into paying you as little as possible. We know how to get results in serious injury cases – we know the law, have the experience, and invest our time and effort into building the strongest possible case. In negotiations and, if necessary, litigation, we will fight for the compensation you need while you focus on getting better.

Industrial Accidents

Many people in Louisiana work at dangerous jobs, and it only takes one moment of negligence to cause a severe injury. The Gulf South is our nation’s chemical and petroleum production capital, with all the hazards that come with those types of sites. Industrial farming, transportation, and other injuries likewise pose dangers. We represent oil rig workers, plant and refinery workers, railroad workers, and others when they are seriously hurt on the job.

The most important thing you can do after a serious work accident is to get medical attention. The next most important is to contact us. Don’t talk to the business that caused your injury or their insurance company; retain good counsel to deal with them on your behalf. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can investigate your accident and start building your case for full compensation. We are the rapid-response team for injured Louisiana workers dedicated to seeking the justice you deserve.

Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents

It only takes one negligent driver to change someone’s life. Whether you were hurt in a crash in downtown New Orleans or on a major highway like I-10, you may be dealing with the consequences for a long time. You have medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other costs, to say nothing of repairing or replacing your vehicle. The insurance company is breathing down your neck. What can you do? Get an experienced car accident attorney on your side right away.

The Unglesby Law Firm stands up for people hurt in motor vehicle accidents throughout Louisiana, and we have a strong track record of results – including multi-million-dollar recoveries in high-stakes trucking litigation. We know how to get to the bottom of what happened. We pore over accident reports, recover physical evidence from the scene of the wreck, and consult accident reconstruction experts to find proof that another driver’s negligence caused your accident. We will fight for the full compensation you deserve, and we are prepared to go to trial if that’s what it takes to win your case.

Remember, time is of the essence after a car accident in Louisiana. Don’t give the insurance company an opportunity to downplay or deny your claim. Contact us for a free consultation as soon as possible.
