Helping Baton Rouge Injury Victims Recover

Hundreds of auto accidents occur every day in the United States. The stress and emotional toll of an accident that injures you or someone you love is immense. Your concerns shift to the wellbeing of your loved one, insurance coverage, medical treatment and the financial strain the accident has caused your family. The solutions are not always clear, especially from insurance companies.

Dodson & Hooks, APLC has a history of successfully representing individuals who have been involved in automobile accidents, as well as family members of those who are catastrophically or fatally injured in accidents. Our extensive experience and resources benefit those we represent, because every Baton Rouge auto accident lawyer at our firm understands the difficulties our clients face.


Experienced Negotiators and Litigators

Insurance companies are businesses with the purpose of making money. To maximize profits, insurance companies often attempt to minimize their biggest expense by paying policyholders and injury victims as little as legally possible. Settlement delays and lowball offers are common tactics for reducing payouts.

Our lawyers advocate for just treatment and strategically negotiate to recover your rightful settlement amount. We also advise whether taking your case to trial can produce better results.

We handle any auto accident in Louisiana, including:


Putting Together a Strong Case

Building a strong personal injury case takes perseverance and ingenuity. By devoting a large percentage of our practice to personal injury recovery, we have acquired the substantial tools and experience necessary to successfully take on the most challenging claims. Our lawyers thoroughly investigate the cause of your accident and gather crucial evidence before we begin settlement negotiations. Depending on the facts of your case, we might visit the crash scene, subpoena vital records, photograph evidence or consult with engineers and accident reconstructionists. Our meticulous preparation allow our auto accident lawyers to reach the best results possible in such complex motor vehicle crash cases as:
Reckless and aggressive driving
  • Rollover accidents
  • T-bone accidents
  • Rear-end collisions
  • Intersection collision
  • Head-on collisions
  • Cell phone-related car accidents
  • SUV rollovers

An auto accident can result in a wide range of injuries, ranging from broken bones to catastrophic spinal cord and brain injuries. Our personal injury lawyers have successfully represented clients suffering these and other serious injuries. Our verdicts and settlements are consistently recognized by others in the industry.

Rear-End Collisions

While many rear-end collisions are typical “fender-benders” without much damage, there are those that involve serious and life-threatening injuries to drivers and passengers. Most people who are hurt in these types of accidents are innocent occupants who are driving safely and following the rules of the road. Unfortunately, if one driver loses focus or is otherwise acting negligently, it can cause significant damage to others on the road.

At Dodson & Hooks, APLC, our lawyers understand the challenges that any auto accident can present, especially when an injury has occurred as a result. Our firm represents individuals throughout the state of Louisiana who have been injured in rear-end collisions and other types of accidents. We also represent the family members of those who have lost a loved one in a car accident in Louisiana.


Baton Rouge Rear-end Collision Attorneys

Although a car may show minimal damage after a rear-end collision, especially if neither car was traveling at a high speed, serious injuries may still result, including:
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Amputations
  • Head injuries
  • Brain injuries
Our firm has the experience and the resources that are necessary to fully investigate the car crash and to pursue compensation that you deserve.

​​​​​​​Intersection Collisions

One of the most common places for car and truck accidents to happen in Louisiana is at intersections, especially those that have significant traffic, as well as those that have malfunctioning traffic signals. Intersection collisions, like other types of car accidents, still have the potential to cause catastrophic and fatal injuries to passengers who are involved.

If you have been injured in an intersection collision, or have a family member who has been hurt, it is in your best interest to speak with an experienced attorney. At Dodson & Hooks, APLC, our lawyers have extensive experience handling auto accident cases throughout Louisiana, including those that occurred at intersections.


Louisiana Attorneys

Intersection collisions may occur for a wide range of reasons. Many of these reasons involve negligence on the part of the other driver. Other causes of intersection collisions may include:
  • Running a red light or stop sign
  • Failure to yield right of way
  • Excessive speed
  • Traffic light errors
  • Unsafe and dangerous roadways
  • Weather conditions
  • Tire blowouts and vehicle malfunctions
Our firm will look at all angles when building a case for you and will thoroughly investigate to determine what happened and who should be liable for the injuries and other damage caused by the accident.
