Louisiana Car Accident Attorney

After a wreck, put it down.
I've got it from here.

I'm Charley Imbornone. I personally handle every car accident case I accept. When you call, I'm who answers — not a case manager you've never met.

The Imbornone Difference

The lawyer you hire should be the lawyer who knows your case.

Large firms may introduce you to one attorney and then move your file through a team. That's not how I built this firm. I personally review the evidence, communicate with the insurance company, answer your questions, and guide the case from the first call through resolution.

"When you hire me, you get me."

How It Works

What you're dealing with. What I take off your plate.

A car accident hits from five directions at once. Here's how the handoff works when you bring the case to me.

  1. Your Side · 01

    Your car is wrecked, and you still have to get to work.

    Your vehicle may be sitting at a body shop, tow yard, or driveway. You may be paying for a rental yourself while nobody from the insurance company gives you a straight answer.

    My Side

    I handle the rental, repair, or total-loss process on a separate track.

    I don't make clients wait for the injury case to resolve before dealing with their vehicle. I push the at-fault insurer to address the rental, inspection, repairs, total-loss valuation, and related property-damage issues as early as possible.

  2. Your Side · 02

    The adjuster keeps calling and asking questions.

    They may request a recorded statement, medical authorization, signed release, or explanation of how you feel before you understand how those answers may affect the claim.

    My Side

    Once I'm involved, the insurance company communicates through me.

    You don't have to manage repeated adjuster calls alone. I deal with the communications, protect the evidence, and make sure the claim is presented deliberately instead of reactively.

    Already gave a statement?

    That does not automatically end your case. Stop discussing the claim further and let's review exactly what was said.

  3. Your Side · 03

    You are hurt, bills are arriving, and you don't know what gets paid by whom.

    Between the ER visit, follow-up appointments, imaging, and specialists, the paperwork stacks up fast.

    My Side

    I help organize the treatment, documentation, and medical-bill side of the claim.

    The case must clearly connect the collision, injuries, treatment, expenses, and effect on your life. I help make sure the documentation tells that story and address outstanding balances as part of the resolution process.

  4. Your Side · 04

    You received an offer — or no offer — and have no way to know whether it's fair.

    Insurance carriers move fast to close files. The first number is rarely the full picture.

    My Side

    I evaluate the complete claim, not just the number the insurer puts in front of you.

    That may include medical expenses, lost income, future care, pain, physical limitations, available coverage, fault disputes, and the effect the accident has had on everyday life.

    Already received an offer?

    Don't sign a release until someone has reviewed what rights you're giving up. A signed release may permanently end the claim.

  5. Your Side · 05

    You're already under financial pressure and can't afford another bill.

    Medical costs, missed paychecks, and vehicle expenses hit at the same time.

    My Side

    There is no upfront attorney fee.

    Car accident cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis. The attorney fee is paid from a recovery. If there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee.

    Case expenses and fee terms are explained in the written representation agreement.

A Major Difference

Your injury case may take time. Your damaged car should not be ignored.

Many accident victims are focused on pain, medical appointments, and missed work while also trying to figure out a rental car, repairs, towing, storage charges, or a total-loss offer. I handle the property-damage process separately from the bodily-injury claim so the vehicle issue can move forward without waiting for the entire injury case to finish.

  1. 01

    Rental and Transportation

    Help address temporary transportation and communication with the responsible carrier so you're not stranded while the claim moves.

  2. 02

    Repair or Total-Loss Evaluation

    Address inspections, repair estimates, valuation, comparable vehicles, and related disputes with the at-fault insurer.

  3. 03

    Injury Case Continues Separately

    Continue building the bodily-injury claim while the property-damage track is being handled — so your vehicle isn't held hostage by the medical timeline.

Why Charley

You're not hiring a billboard. You're hiring your lawyer.

I built this practice so clients wouldn't have to wonder who's handling their case. I personally review the evidence, communicate with the insurance company, answer client questions, and make the legal decisions. I intentionally keep the practice personal because access and attention matter when someone's health, transportation, and financial stability have all been disrupted at once.

  • Direct communication with Charley

    No case managers, no phone-tag chains — the attorney whose name is on the door is the one you talk to.

  • Personal case review

    Charley personally reviews the evidence, the medical picture, and the strategy for every case he accepts.

  • Louisiana car accident focus

    This firm is built around one thing: representing people injured in Louisiana car wrecks.

  • Property damage handled alongside the injury claim

    Vehicle, rental, and total-loss issues move on their own track — not stuck behind the medical timeline.

FAQs

Straight answers, no runaround.

What should I do immediately after a Louisiana car accident?

Get medical attention, document the scene if you safely can, exchange information, and report the crash. Then contact an attorney before giving any statements to an insurance company — early decisions can shape the entire claim.

Should I give the insurance adjuster a recorded statement?

Not without talking to an attorney first. Recorded statements are used to lock in your words and can be used later to minimize the claim. Once representation is in place, communication runs through the attorney.

What happens if my car is totaled?

The property-damage side of the case is handled separately from the injury claim. That includes valuation of the vehicle, comparable vehicles, negotiation with the insurer, and disputes over the total-loss offer.

Can Charley help with the rental car and property damage?

Yes. Rental, repair, storage, and total-loss issues are part of what the firm handles for car accident clients. Those items move on their own track so they aren't waiting on the injury case to finish.

How much does it cost to hire Imbornone Law Firm?

Car accident cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis. There is no upfront attorney fee. If there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee. Case expenses and fee terms are explained in the written representation agreement.

What if the insurance company has already made an offer?

Don't sign a release until it's reviewed. A signed release may permanently end the claim. The offer should be evaluated against medical expenses, lost income, future care, pain, and other losses tied to the crash.

Will I actually speak directly with Charley?

Yes. When you hire this firm, you hire Charley. He personally reviews the evidence, communicates with the insurance company, answers your questions, and manages the case from the first call through resolution.

How long do I have to bring a Louisiana car accident claim?

The deadline depends on when the accident happened and the facts of the case. Contact the firm as early as possible — evidence can disappear and legal deadlines may permanently bar a claim.
