When life throws the unexpected at you in the form of a personal injury, the path to justice can be complex. The legal system offers a way to seek compensation and accountability, but the process can be time-consuming and complicated. You need a legal ally to stand beside you and fight for the compensation you deserve.
You will find a powerful ally at Melton Law Firm, LLC. Personal injury attorney Allison Melton founded her Shreveport practice on a commitment to helping others. She is passionate about fighting for justice for the injured.
Proven Success In Court
With a robust background as a former prosecutor, Allison knows what it takes to build a powerful case and stand up to opponents in court. Her proven trial experience – including a 100% conviction rate – is a significant advantage in personal injury cases, too. Not all personal injury lawyers are willing or capable of skillfully taking cases to trial. Not many have valuable backgrounds as former prosecutors.
Far too many personal injury lawyers handle their cases like a mill, pushing for a quick settlement to close out the case and move on to the next. Allison is different. She prepares every case as if it will go to trial. This thorough approach not only makes for stronger cases but also creates more favorable settlement conditions. Allison will never pressure you to accept a settlement. She will be honest and transparent about what you can expect throughout the legal process. Her goal is to get you the results you deserve without needless delay.

What Kinds Of Compensation Can You Get In A Louisiana Personal Injury Case?
The financial impact of a personal injury can be devastating and far-reaching. Securing compensation involves more than just proving fault; it requires demonstrating the extent of damages – that is, the compensable harm you suffered as a result of the other party’s negligence.
Damages in a personal injury case may include:
- Medical expenses: All injury-related expenses, from emergency care to ongoing rehabilitation and future care needs
- Lost wages: Compensation for the income lost due to the injury
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical and emotional distress caused by the injury
- Punitive damages: Sometimes awarded in cases of extreme wrongdoing to punish the wrongdoer
As a skilled personal injury lawyer, Allison excels in proving both fault and damages. She knows that the details can make or break a case, and she employs a meticulous approach to uncover all the details that are building blocks in a strong case for compensation.
If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to benefits through the Louisiana workers’ compensation system. Allison can help you pursue those benefits and address any obstacles that arise. You may also have a personal injury claim against third parties – those other than your employer or coworkers – who contributed to your injury. Allison can handle both types of claims to help you secure all available compensation.
How Long Will Your Personal Injury Case Take?
When you’ve been injured because someone else cut corners, it’s understandable to want money in your pocket as soon as possible. The timeline of a personal injury case can vary widely depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the cooperation of the involved parties and the specifics of the injuries. Personal injury lawyer Allison Melton will work to advance your case swiftly and efficiently without compromising the quality of her work.
Breaking Down The Personal Injury Process
The process for handling a personal injury claim involves several stages:
- Insurance claims: Initially, claims are often handled through insurance companies, especially in auto accidents.
- Litigation: If a satisfactory settlement cannot be reached before initiating the court process, the case may proceed to litigation, which includes filing the case, discovery, pretrial motions and possibly a trial.
- Settlement negotiations: Throughout the litigation process, settlement negotiations continue, aiming to reach a resolution that spares the client the stress of a trial.
Allison is adept at managing both the insurance claims and litigation processes. She will advocate fiercely for you at every step. She will also keep you informed so that you know what to expect and aren’t left in the dark.
