Trusted Representation for Car and Truck Accidents

Motor vehicle crashes are among the leading causes of serious injury and wrongful death in Lafayette Parish. The firm operates as seasoned car accident lawyers and truck accident lawyers, representing victims who have been hurt due to negligent, distracted, or intoxicated drivers. Semi-truck crashes require a highly sophisticated investigation, as commercial trucking operations must comply with complex federal safety regulations. The firm's dedicated legal team thoroughly analyzes logbooks, maintenance records, and electronic data to build an unshakeable case against negligent carriers and drivers.

The firm also acts as dedicated motorcycle accident lawyers and pedestrian injury lawyers, protecting vulnerable road users who often suffer catastrophic injuries in traffic collisions. Whether your accident occurred on Johnston Street, Kaliste Saloom Road, or Interstate ten, the firm works alongside medical experts and accident reconstruction specialists to document the full scope of your injuries and secure maximum financial recovery.

The maritime industry is a major part of the Acadiana economy, but working offshore carries significant risks. If you are an offshore worker injured in a maritime accident, you need to find a lawyer who is deeply familiar with the Jones Act and general maritime law. Morris Bart Personal Injury Lawyers handles complex offshore injury claims, helping injured deckhands, rig workers, and harbor employees recover maintenance, cure, and damages for employer negligence.

Additionally, the firm provides strong representation for slip and fall accidents, dog bite injuries, and medical malpractice claims.
