With the help of Emily Borgen and paralegal Megan Hebert, Jerome Moroux recently obtained a significant settlement and successfully represented our client's mother, whose son passed away after developing heat stroke at his high school football practice, against the school district and athletic trainers. As a result of our client’s tragic death, the Louisiana Legislature introduced an act to ensure that student-athletes are better protected by their coaches and trainers against heat stroke. This legislation calls for a comprehensive sports injury management program, requiring each school to have an emergency action plan that follows the best practices set forth by the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. Our firm believes strongly in fighting for our clients and for what is right. We are deeply passionate about the cases brought into our office, which drives us to achieve the best results possible.
