Louisiana Personal Injury Lawyers
Wrongful Death • Premises Liability

Personal injuries can result from a variety of situations. Louisiana attorney Richard Gallot, Jr. offers 15 years of experience, obtaining fair compensation for victims and surviving loved ones in all types of personal injury and wrongful death claims:

The law office of Gallot Law Office is based in Ruston, Louisiana. We represent all the parishes of northern Louisiana, from Shreveport to Monroe. We also handle personal injury and wrongful death cases in East Texas, including residents of Tyler, Longview, Marshall, Waskom, Center, and Kilgore.

Wrongful Death
If the death of a loved one was caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or carelessness, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death matter is much more complicated than other personal injury cases and should be handled by an experienced lawyer. In cases where the deceased victim was young or had dependent children, a wrongful death lawyer is essential in calculating multiple factors to determine a reasonable valuation of the case. Compensation may include not only lost income and funeral expenses, but damages for loss of companionship and future earning potential.

Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other health professional fails to adhere to an established standard of care, leading to a patient’s injury. This could include an incorrect diagnosis, an error during surgery, a birth injury, poor sanitation, dispensing the wrong prescription medications, or delegating care decisions to unqualified personnel.

While we have obtained substantial malpractice settlements, these cases are expensive and difficult to prove. Contact our firm for an honest evaluation of your claim against a hospital, physician, dentist, nursing or other health care provider.

Police Misconduct
Rough treatment by police officers, prison guards and other law enforcement and corrections personnel can cause serious injuries. When such a blatant rejection of civil rights occurs, you need an aggressive attorney who is not afraid of fighting the government.

Rick Gallot, Jr. has fought for the victims of police and government misconduct, including people injured by excessive force by police, prison guard brutality, improper physical contact, and even sexual harassment and rape. These injuries can lead to both physical and emotional trauma that the victim can suffer from for the rest of their lives. Mr. Gallot has the expertise needed to bring justice to situations where human and civil rights have been violated. He will fight for you in order to defend and uphold the rights of all human beings.

Animal Attacks
The failure of someone to adequately control or cage pets can result in animal bites that, while they may sound trivial, can result in disfiguring injuries. We have represented many dog bite victims, resulting in substantial monetary settlements.

Premises Liability
Failure to adequately maintain property causes injuries in many slip-and-fall accidents, and inadequate security may allow ease of entry by those meaning to cause physical harm. We are experienced in pursuing compensation for injuries suffered due to unsafe premises, including schools, apartment buildings, businesses and other commercial and public property.

Let our experience go to work for you.

Mr. Gallot is a seasoned personal injury lawyer who is skilled at seeking compensation. At Gallot Law Office, we obtain fair settlements in 98 percent of our cases, and we collect no attorney fees unless and until you receive compensation.
