Steps to Take After a Work Accident
Seek Medical Help Immediately
Being healthy and getting treated by medical professionals is the first thing you should do. Ask for copies of all medical records.
Notify Your Employer As Soon As Possible
Notify your employer or superior in writing. Document everything as soon as you can while all the details about your accident are fresh in your mind. Your employer will likely give you a workers’ compensation form to fill out. You will need to cite:
- The type of injury and injured areas of your body
- The exact location of the accident
- The date and time (as close as you can get it to the time it occurred)
- Anyone involved who witnessed the accident or perhaps contributed to it occurring
- How the accident happened
- Any medical treatment received for your injuries
Request your copy of any forms your workplace asks you to fill out for your records.
Follow Up
Your employer typically files your claim with its insurance company as well as Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Organization. After it is evaluated you will be contacted about whether or not it has been accepted and what benefits are available if it has. You will get the chance to appeal if it is rejected.

We hope you get your claim filed quickly, and you have been compensated accurately. If you do not feel you are being treated fairly by your employer, Losavio Law will help.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners have a responsibility to provide a safe environment free from dangerous conditions. While a slip and fall accident may seem like a minor event, it can cause extremely serious injuries like broken bones, head trauma, fractured hips, and neck and back problems. Falls are consistently a leading cause of injuries in the United States.
Steps to Take After a Slip and Fall Accident
Seek Medical Help Immediately
Your health and safety is the priority. Not only is it vital to you personally but the medical records will be invaluable as legal evidence should you need to pursue that route.
Report What Happened to the Proper People
Whether it is on commercial or private property the slip and fall needs to be reported. The manager, landlord, or homeowner needs to be notified, and you should ask for a copy of anything they write up.
Document What Happened
Write down precisely what you happened as clearly as possible noting the date, time, and address of the slip and fall. The names of any witnesses and their information (physical and email addresses, phone numbers, etc.) should be noted as well. Your mobile phone will be convenient at a time like this to take pictures of where the incident occurred and anything that contributed to the accident (wet floor, broken stairs, etc.). It will also help to take a picture of your footwear you were wearing at the time as they may be relevant evidence should you decide to pursue legal action.
Remain Calm and Quiet
Do not give any statements to anyone about what happened, including posting on social media. Limit your communication with the manager, landlord, or homeowner where the slip and fall took place. It is essential that you do not speak about the accident until your attorney is with you.

Steps to Take After a Vehicular Accident
Remain at the Scene
Always stay at the scene of the accident until you have been cleared to leave. Leaving before the police allow you to do so may mean additional criminal charges even if the accident was not your fault.
Check On All Involved
Make sure all passengers and drivers are okay. Do not move injured people as this may incur additional injuries. Call 911 and allow medical professionals to assess any hurt people.
Notify the Police
When the police arrive, they will ask questions of those there. Ask for a copy of the police report and ask for the officers’ contact information for any further questions.
Exchange Information With the Other Drivers
Collect the names of the drivers as well as their insurance information and their license plate numbers as well as giving them yours. Try to not speak about the accident as you may inadvertently admit to something that could lead to further charges.
Contact Your Insurance Company
Let your insurance company know you have been in an accident as soon as you can. Many companies now allow you to notify them with an app, otherwise, call the number on your insurance card.
Take Pictures
Use your mobile phone to snap photos of your vehicle, the other cars or trucks involved, license plates, and anything else you think may be relevant to your claim. Taking pictures will help insurance companies determine how to compensate you best as well as potentially be used in court.

Big Rig Truck Accidents
Big rigs semi-trucks, 18-wheelers — no matter what you call these massive vehicles the fact is they are so much larger and heavier than any other vehicle on the road. In a collision with a big rig, any vehicle and its passengers will always receive more grave damages. These catastrophic semi-truck accidents can result in traumatic injuries, substantial medical bills, lost wages, and immense pain and suffering. When a big rig accident causes major injuries and damages, the other driver (or their employer) can be held responsible. Losavio Law Firm will help you obtain the highest compensation in the shortest time possible.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice claims arise out of the negligence or neglect of the health care providers, either from their actions or omissions which are found to be below the accepted level of care. Substandard care can result in poor health or even death. If you feel a doctor, nurse, hospital or any other healthcare organization has not provided proper medical care for you or a loved one, let Losavio Law fight for just compensation. These are complex cases which require more research and preparation, and there are time limitations within which to file a claim. Please contact us as soon as possible so we can begin to give you the help you deserve.
