How to choose a lawyer in Gullett

Start by looking for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers treat cases differently when they know an attorney will go to court. Find out how well the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers that write policies in this area. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays expenses. Ask who will personally handle your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Our directory makes it easy to compare local attorneys on these points before you call.

What to do after an accident in Gullett

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Then act promptly: Louisiana gives you a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury for injuries on or after July 1, 2024, while older claims had 1 year. A local lawyer can explain what applies to you.
