Louisianans look with confidence to the counsel and representation of Creighton, Richards & Higdon in Covington, Baton Rouge, and Metairie involving legal issues such as the following:

Personal Injury We offer free initial consultations to people who have been injured in oil refinery and traffic accidents. We work on a contingency basis -- which means that attorneys' fees are not due until and unless we are successful in obtaining settlements or verdicts to compensate the injured or the bereaved.

Auto Accidents At the law offices of Creighton, Richards & Higdon, our attorneys work hard for our clients who have been injured in serious auto accidents. Our aim is to help them obtain maximum available compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and costs associated with an accident, such as rehabilitation and reimbursement for transportation costs to medical appointments.

Truck Accidents An early-on investigation may demonstrate that the truck rollover accident was caused or exacerbated by fault of the driver, trucking company, or other negligent party as follows:

• Driver error
• Lack of training of the truck driver
• Inadequate sleep on the part of the driver
• Poor maintenance of the vehicle
• Faulty truck inspections
• Faulty tires, brakes, or other components of the truck
• Tread separation
• Bad weather, combined with an eighteen wheeler driver's failure to adjust to weather conditions

Wrongful Death An experienced wrongful death attorney is a valuable asset to a widow, widower, or surviving children or parents during a time of grief and readjustment.

Business and Commercial Transactions Our business and commercial clients understand their need for legal guidance. We, in turn, understand their need to achieve their goals cost-effectively.

Business and Commercial Litigation Every case has its own facts, circumstances, and paths of resolution. A large part of our role as litigation lawyers is to clarify our clients' most desirable outcomes and pursue those outcomes quickly and cost-effectively, avoiding long, dragged-out litigation whenever possible.

Real Estate Our real estate attorneys advise and assist clients in matters including commercial and residential buy - sell agreements, commercial leases, zoning, easement servitudes related to roads and power lines, condo conversions, and business aspects of development, ownership, and management of apartment complexes.

Titles and Closings A title policy obtained through our title company, Team Title, LLC, reassures buyers that their property titles are good, and that they are insured against any unforeseen complication that might otherwise threaten the validity of the title of their home or commercial property

Insurance Law The Covington, Louisiana, law firm of Creighton, Richards & Higdon has gone to bat on behalf of businesses that were victims of both Hurricane Katrina (or other natural disasters or catastrophes) and insurance bad faith.
