Questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We handle car accidents, motorcycle crashes, medical malpractice, slip-and-falls, product liability, and civil rights violations. Our experience spans complex cases involving permanent injuries and wrongful death.
How are your legal fees structured?
We work on contingency fees for most cases - you pay nothing unless we win your case through settlement or trial verdict. Additional costs may apply for specific services.
Can I still get compensation if partially at fault?
Louisiana follows comparative fault rules. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages if less than 50% responsible.
What makes your motorcycle accident representation unique?
Our attorney is a licensed motorcyclist with racing experience who understands both technical aspects and jury bias challenges. We've developed specialized focus group techniques to strengthen motorcycle injury cases.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Louisiana's statute of limitations is generally one year for personal injury and three years for property damage. Consult an attorney promptly to preserve evidence and meet filing deadlines.
Do you handle cases outside Metairie?
We represent clients throughout Louisiana including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and surrounding areas. We offer home visits for clients unable to travel to our office.
