Sunset, LA Personal Injury Clear Answers to Important Questions

How long do I have to file a claim in Louisiana?

Most personal injury claims must be filed within one year of the accident.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Louisiana uses comparative fault, meaning you may still recover reduced compensation.

Will my case go to court?

Most cases settle, but we prepare for trial when necessary.

What if I don’t have health insurance?

Our firm may help you access medical providers willing to treat you while your case is pending.

Do you have more questions?

Our team is here to answer every question about your case—clearly and honestly.

At the very first meeting with Alexis and Danielle they took the time to explain everything to us so that we understood what we were going to go through. They checked in on us to see how things were going with DR appointment and therapy. They checked in on the phone or by text and if I had a question and I was in Lafayette and I would stop by the office one of them would come to answer my questions. I truly appreciate the response and respect that they showed to me and my husband and I would really recommend them to family and friends.

Jourdan is an outstanding paralegal! She is knowledgeable, organized, and truly cares about the clients she works with. Every interaction I’ve had with her has been positive — she takes the time to explain things clearly and makes the process much less stressful. Laborde Earles Law Firm is lucky to have someone like Jourdan on their team. I would highly recommend both Jourdan and the firm to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable legal support.
