Contact our firm to arrange a free consultation to discuss your situation with a knowledgeable lawyer.

Our lawyers represent clients facing various types of injuries resulting from sources including:

Motor vehicle accidents: If you are one of the millions of people affected annually by a car accident, our firm can help. We strive to obtain fair compensation for your injuries, hold negligent people and companies responsible, and ensure your needs are met long after your claim has been resolved.

Trucking accidents: Contact our firm as soon as possible after the accident. We need to begin an immediate investigation into the cause of the accident, as important evidence can easily be destroyed or "misplaced" by the trucking company.

Motorcycle accidents: Our personal injury attorneys help people who are injured in motorcycle accidents. With only helmets and clothing, motorcyclists are afforded very little protection from road hazards and other drivers.

Drunk driving accidents: Our firm has substantial toxicological experience, which provides us the ability to analyze field sobriety tests accurately. If you or someone you love has been injured by a drunk driver, we can help.

Wrongful death: The death of a loved one is all the more tragic when a negligent person or entity is at fault.

Airbag and seatbelt failure: We represent people who are injured due to auto defects and defective restraint devices. An automobile is a product, and under the Louisiana Products Liability Act (LPLA), you may be entitled to compensation if a product is unreasonably dangerous in construction, composition, design, contains inadequate warnings, or does not conform to an express warranty.

Crashworthiness: The "crashworthiness" of a car is its ability to withstand the impact of a crash. Our firm helps people who are injured by unsafe cars and the products that are supposed to protect the occupants, including passive restraints (air bags), seatbelts, and child safety restraints.

Catastrophic injuries: We are able to help clients seek care from neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and other medical professionals.

Medical procedures: After an accident, you may have serious injuries that require thorough assessment from a trained medical professional. This professional may put you through a number of rigorous tests in order to determine the extent and severity of your injuries. We are able to discuss many of these procedures with you so you know what to expect.

Psychological impact of an accident: The psychological impact of a serious injury or wrongful death may go overlooked by some lawyers. At Kleinpeter & Schwartzberg, LLC, we refer clients to the appropriate professionals who can address their rehabilitative and psychological issues.
