AN EXPERIENCED PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
SERVING THE ALEXANDRIA, BATON ROUGE & LAFAYETTE, LA AREAS

Personal injuries include every type of injury to a person's body, emotions, or reputation. A personal injury case can occur due to negligent behavior, substandard service, or intentional actions. A careless driver, a negligent dog owner, or a property owner who fails to perform necessary repairs can all cause injury to another party - even if they did not intend to do so. Personal injury claims can also arise from non-bodily harm; if you have suffered emotional distress, defamation, or legal ramifications due to someone else's actions, you might be entitled to compensation from a personal injury case. 

Fred Pharis has been representing injured people in the Baton Rouge, Alexandria, and Lafayette area for over 35 years. The personalized service you can expect from our office means that you can expect to be attended to with utmost respect and care. Our team is qualified, experienced, and dedicated to our clients; we will work tirelessly to make sure you get the justice and compensation that you deserve.

WHAT DOES A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY DO?

Just what is a personal injury case? This type of case occurs when a person is injured by some other person, an object, or a thing. When lawyers speak of personal injury cases, they are not usually referring to a worker's compensation case. It's a case that normally sparks the liability of another person and their insurance company. Examples of personal injury cases include:


  • Auto Accidents
  • Dog Bites
  • Slips and Falls on Someone's Property
  • Malfunctioning Products
  • Medical Malpractice


If you or someone you love has become injured or ill due to the negligence or mistreatment of someone else, you could be entitled to compensation. This compensation could then be used to cover lost wages, medical bills, or other expenses. Navigating these lawsuits can be confusing and difficult if you are not familiar with the legalities and rules of law. Hiring a supportive, experienced, and knowledgeable personal injury attorney is like hiring a teammate who will defend you and your situation fully. Our goal is to get you a settlement that helps ease the stress, pain, or suffering you have been subject to on the behalf of another.

WHY WORK WITH A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?

You have the right to represent yourself in a civil lawsuit, but that it not always the best idea. Many injured parties choose to represent themselves because they are looking for a bargain, but this choice might wind up costing you more money in the long term.  Hiring a professional personal injury attorney can help you in a number of ways:
  • Get the Correct Information: A personal injury attorney will make sure that you are properly advised when it comes to your case and its viability. 
  • File On Time: There are many important deadlines when you file a lawsuit; if you miss even one, it can hurt your case. We'll make sure that you never miss an important deadline or mishandle a detail. 
  • Know Your Worth: If you file yourself, you run the risk of underestimating how much you're entitled to receive. A personal injury lawyer will ensure that you pursue the full scope of damages. 
  • Work Quickly: A professional can negotiate a settlement quickly and before the matter reaches court; this can reduce stress and get you your money sooner. 

WORK WITH A PASSIONATE PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY

High-profile personal injury firms often advertise for the purpose of getting a high volume of cases. The best cases are kept and the rest are thrown back like so many undersized fish. In other instances, the case is not as actively prosecuted because the issues become burdensome or demand too much of the attorney's time. If you want representation you can really trust to stick with you, choose a smaller, local firm. When you work with an experienced local personal injury attorney, you get dedicated and personalized service from a qualified professional. 

If you are injured and expect a difficult case, don't think that you'll necessarily be treated as well by a large personal injury factory as with a smaller firm. You may get a better, more thorough prosecution of your case with us. At Pharis Law Offices, we pride ourselves in representing the person, not winning a case simply for the sake of winning.
