If you've been driving through Gretna, Louisiana lately, you may have noticed our eye-catching new billboard with a simple but powerful message: "Don't Get Burned. Call Burnham." At Burnham Law Firm, we're proud to showcase this campaign because it represents everything we stand for—protecting injury victims from being taken advantage of by insurance companies and fighting to help our clients recover the compensation they deserve.
The Meaning Behind "Don't Get Burned"
When you're injured in an accident, dealing with an insurance company can feel overwhelming. You're focused on your health, your medical care, and your recovery, but the insurance company has a different priority: paying you as little as possible. That's where the phrase "don't get burned" comes in—it's a warning to accident victims not to get taken advantage of, shortchanged, or cheated out of fair compensation.
Our billboard delivers this message loud and clear. Too many people accept lowball settlement offers because they don't know their rights or don't have the legal guidance they need. Attorney Taylor Burnham goes the extra mile to ensure that doesn't happen to you. When you call our law office at 504-358-0008, you're taking the first step toward protecting your best interests and ensuring you get the justice you deserve.
Meet Taylor Burnham: Your Personal Injury Attorney in Louisiana
Taylor Burnham founded Burnham Law Firm with one mission: to fight for injured people who need someone in their corner. As a dedicated personal injury attorney serving Gretna, New Orleans, and the greater Jefferson Parish area, Taylor brings extensive experience and professional knowledge to every personal injury case.
Unlike large law firms, where you might feel like just another case number, Burnham Law Firm offers personalized attention. Taylor takes the time to explain the legal process, answer your questions, and keep you informed every step of the way. This attorney-client relationship is built on trust, transparency, and a commitment to your recovery—not just financial recovery, but your overall well-being.
Taylor understands that when you're injured, you're not just dealing with physical pain. You're worried about medical bills, lost wages, and how you'll support your family. That's why our law practice focuses exclusively on personal injury matters, giving you access to a lawyer who truly understands what you're going through and knows how to navigate the complex legal process to help you recover compensation.
How Insurance Companies "Burn" Accident Victims
If you've been in a car accident, suffered workplace injuries, or been hurt in any other type of incident, you need to understand the tactics insurance companies use to minimize what they pay:
Lowball Settlement Offers
Insurance adjusters often make quick settlement offers that sound good at first—sometimes tens of thousands of dollars. But these offers rarely reflect the true value of your personal injury claim. They don't account for future medical treatments, long-term pain and suffering, or lost earning capacity. Once you accept and sign, you can't go back for more money, even if your injuries turn out to be more serious than you initially thought.
Delaying the Claims Process
Some insurance companies drag out the legal process, hoping you'll get frustrated and accept less money just to move on with your life. They know that accident victims facing mounting medical bills and lost wages are under financial pressure. This tactic is designed to make you settle for less than you deserve.
Denying Legitimate Claims
Insurance companies sometimes deny valid personal injury claims outright, betting that injured people won't have the knowledge or resources to fight back. They may claim you were at fault, dispute the severity of your injuries, or argue that your medical care wasn't necessary. Without a personal injury lawyer on your side, it's difficult to challenge these denials effectively.
Pressuring You to Settle Too Quickly
Before you've even finished your medical treatments or know the full extent of your injuries, insurance adjusters may pressure you to settle. They want to close your case and pay as little as possible. But settling before you reach maximum medical improvement means you might not recover enough money to cover all your expenses.
Using Your Statements Against You
Anything you say to an insurance adjuster can be used to reduce or deny your claim. They may ask seemingly innocent questions designed to get you to admit partial fault or downplay your injuries. That's why it's crucial to have legal representation before giving any recorded statements.
How Burnham Law Firm Protects You From Getting Burned
At Burnham Law Firm, we level the playing field between you and the insurance company. Here's how we fight for your rights:
Free Case Evaluation
We offer a free consultation to discuss your personal injury case. During this meeting, Taylor will review the facts of your accident, explain your legal options, and help you understand what your claim may be worth. There's no cost and no obligation—just honest legal guidance from an experienced injury lawyer.
No Fees Unless We Win (Contingency Fee Basis)
We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you don't pay any attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. If your case settles or we win at trial, our fee comes from the recovery—you never pay out of pocket. This arrangement ensures that quality legal services are accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
Thorough Investigation
We don't just accept the insurance company's version of events. Taylor conducts a comprehensive investigation of your accident, gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photographs, medical records, and expert opinions. This evidence is crucial for building a strong personal injury claim and proving the full extent of your injuries.
Handling All Communication
Once you hire Burnham Law Firm, you can refer all insurance company calls to us. We handle all communication and negotiations, protecting you from saying something that could hurt your case. You can focus on your health and recovery while we handle the legal process.
Maximizing Your Compensation
We fight to recover every dollar you're entitled to, including:
Medical bills: Past and future medical care costs
Lost wages: Income you've already lost from missing work
Lost earning capacity: Future income if your injuries prevent you from working
Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress
Property damage: Repair or replacement costs for damaged vehicles or other property
Other damages: Vary depending on the specifics of your case
Trial Experience When Needed
While many personal injury cases settle out of court, some require personal injury litigation. Taylor Burnham is an experienced trial attorney who isn't afraid to take your case to court if that's what it takes to get you fair compensation. Insurance companies know which law firms will actually go to trial and which ones always settle—and they offer more money to trial attorneys who have proven they'll fight in court.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Burnham Law Firm represents clients in a wide range of personal injury matters throughout Louisiana:
Louisiana roads can be dangerous, and car accidents happen every day. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, drunk driver, or commercial vehicle, we'll investigate the accident, document your injuries, and pursue a personal injury lawsuit if necessary to recover the compensation you need.
If you've been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. We help injured workers navigate claims with their employer's insurance and ensure they receive proper medical care and wage replacement. In some cases involving third parties or a government agency, you may also have a separate personal injury claim.
Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe premises. If you've been injured due to a hazardous condition like a wet floor, broken stairs, or poor lighting, we can help you hold the negligent party accountable.
Other Personal Injury Claims
We also handle various other types of injury cases, including motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, and more. If someone else's negligence caused your injuries, we want to hear from you.
