Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries can affect many areas of the body. They can occur for a variety of reasons, including car accidents and distracted driving. Catastrophic injuries will keep you out of work, sometimes for life, taking a huge financial toll on you and your family. Attorneys Richard R. Kennedy and Richard R. Kennedy III can help you recover your lost wages, as well as the money needed for your medical bills.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
A traumatic brain injury is usually the result of a hard blow to the head. The resulting damage will not only affect a victim’s physical health. It will also impact his or her cognitive function, critical thinking, and personality. If your loved one is not able to file a lawsuit, a guardian, spouse, or parent can typically do so on his or her behalf.
Burn Injury
Burn injuries can result in severe pain, physical disfigurement, a loss of mobility, and devastating emotional effects. You may also be facing steep medical bills, both for your emergency care and subsequent reconstructive surgery. Our attorneys can help you obtain the money you need for these expenses. We may also be able to acquire funds for pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and other damages.
Spinal Cord Injury
A spinal cord injury can affect the nerves, discs, and vertebrae along any part of your spine. Damage to the spinal cord can cause a significant loss of mobility. You or your loved one may be facing the costs of emergency treatment, rehabilitation, and even long-term care. We will provide the compassionate yet hard-hitting representation you need.
Neck/Back Injury
Neck and back injuries can affect a large portion of your body. Pain may radiate into your shoulders and limbs. You may be unable to work or perform routine tasks. Neck and back injuries are not always apparent immediately after an accident. If you begin to experience unusual symptoms in the wake of an incident, we can fight for your rightful damages.
Wrongful Death
The death of a loved one is always difficult. However, if you lost someone in a wrongful death incident, the emotional burden can be overwhelming. We know that no amount of money will make up for your loss. Nevertheless, we can obtain the money you need for medical and funeral expenses, as well as ongoing support for a spouse or child. Then you can focus on grieving and on the emotional healing process.
Paralysis
Paralysis can be a catastrophic injury that affects the injured party, their family and loved ones. The inability to use and move various limbs such as the hands or legs can mean extensive rehabilitation, medical expenses, and extreme hardship for everyone involved.
Loss of Limb
Losing a limb can impact your ability to perform daily routines and essential job functions, affecting your quality of life. This injury can result from an accident, infection, or medical malpractice. If another’s negligence contributed to your injury, we can secure compensation for your hardship.
Multiple Bone Fractures
Bone fractures are caused by extreme pressure or force of impact, and can result from a car accident, slip and fall incident, workplace accident, or contact sports. Depending upon the location and extent of the fracture, victims may incur significant medical expenses and require ongoing care.
Dog Bites
A dog bite or animal attack of any kind can leave you with both physical and mental scars. Our attorneys can help hold the owner responsible for the incident and grant you the compensation you need for medical care.

I trust him so much I have recommended him to others that I know. Michelle RochonAugust 20, 2013. I wasn't sure on how to go about trying to get my life back after an automobile accident. A friend, Jay Wilkinson, recommended I speak with Richard Kennedy at the Law Offices of Richard R. Kennedy, APLC located in downtown Lafayette, LA. While some wouldn't consider my accident a big one, it derailed my life completely. I was self employed, as a business analyst, with clients all over the county (Dallas and Houston, Texas; Ft. Collins, Colorado; West Sacramento and San Francisco, California; New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Las Vegas, Nevada). My ability to travel was pertinent to accommodate my clients needs and attend conferences to meet potential clients as my business grew. The pain continued to increase, which made travel impossible, as well as, being distracting which effected my ability to focus. Pain medication and muscle relaxers to try and control the pain levels also affected my ability to concentrate and stay focused. I began missing critical deadlines, which was not acceptable as I was brought in to identify the bottlenecks in their process flow, to get them back on track. The pain and medications made it impossible to function. For the first time in my life I lost clients, and my reputation. After speaking with Mr. Kennedy, we formulated a plan to go forward...first, he had me evaluated to make sure the problems I was having were not the result of some other causes. Then, they investigated all aspects. Always keeping me informed along the way. They make sure you fully comprehend everything and take the time to answer questions and concerns. They are also protective of you, not just during depositions but the entire process. You feel like you are family and that they have your best interests in the forefront.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 6 reviews
