Car Accident Claims

Everyday car accidents happen. In some instances, accidents are seemingly minor, but it’s also true that injuries and/or damage may not instantly manifest. In others, the destruction is facially apparent.

Department of Transportation facts observe that millions of people visit the emergency department for injuries from motor vehicle crashes in the United States each year. The costs of accidents can be devastating. If you’re injured in a car collision, you may have to take time off work, seek treatment for injuries, and consider options for property damage repair or replacement. Even with good insurance, you may find your out-of-pocket costs are high and the claims process is intimidating.

Irpino, Avin & Hawkins Law Firm in New Orleans will address these and other concerns related to your accident and stand by you to help you seek fair compensation.

Class Actions / Mass Tort Cases

Irpino, Avin & Hawkins Law Firm has extensive experience with class action lawsuits and national mass torts, commonly consolidated into multi-district litigation cases. Our attorneys are knowledgeable over when and why a class action may be beneficial to clients as compared to a single-event case, or individual lawsuit. Similarly, our legal team will advise clients over the likelihood their case may be part of a multi-district litigation, or “MDL”.

Class Actions and Mass Torts are legally distinct from each other. Typically, we see class actions at the consumer level – think misleading brand representations – which are purely economic in nature. Class Actions generally involve a ‘representative’ who is the face of the lawsuit and drives the outcome for the ‘class members.’ Alternatively, Mass Torts typically include individual personal lawsuits that share common issues of fact, such that it is more efficient and economical to consolidate like lawsuits before one Judge. In Mass Tort actions, each injured plaintiff has an individual lawsuit.
