Below are answers to some of the questions we hear most often from Ascension Parish residents. Ready to discuss your case? Call (225) 443-4522 to schedule a consultation

When should I contact a personal injury lawyer?
It is generally best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident. Evidence can disappear, memories can fade, and Louisiana law places deadlines on personal injury claims. Getting legal guidance early can help you protect your rights and avoid costly mistakes.
What should I do after an accident?
Seek medical attention, report the accident to the appropriate authority or property owner, take photographs if you can safely do so, collect contact information from witnesses, and keep copies of your medical records and expenses. Avoid giving a recorded statement or accepting a settlement before understanding your rights.
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
An early settlement may not account for future medical treatment, lost income, or the full effect of your injuries. Before accepting an offer or signing documents, consider having an attorney evaluate whether the proposed settlement fairly reflects your losses.
Can we settle this without going to court?

Most cases do settle without trial. Insurance companies and opposing parties often prefer settlement to the cost and uncertainty of court. We start by negotiating—presenting your damages, liability evidence, and medical records to push for a fair number.

If they offer enough and the terms make sense, you settle. We handle all the paperwork; you get paid, and the case closes.

When court becomes necessary: If the other side won’t budge or their offer is insulting, we’re ready to file a lawsuit and take it to trial. Sometimes the threat of court is what gets a reasonable settlement on the table. Other times, they’re betting on a jury ruling in their favor, so negotiation stalls.

The reality: Trials are expensive, take months or years, and the outcome is never guaranteed—even with a strong case. Most people and insurance companies know this, which is why 90% of personal injury cases settle. Our job is to build such a strong case that settlement makes sense for everyone.

How much is my personal injury case in Ascencion Parish worth?
Every case is different. The potential value depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, time missed from work, available insurance coverage, and how the accident has affected your daily life.
