How to choose a lawyer in Lone Star

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how quickly they spot the issues in your case. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, because insurers respond differently when a lawyer is willing to go to court. Look for someone who knows the local courts and the insurers that write policies in this part of Louisiana. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays case costs. Ask who will personally handle your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar before you sign anything.

What to do after an accident in Lone Star

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up days later and early records matter. Document the scene and your injuries with photos, and gather names, contact details, and insurance information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer before you speak with a lawyer. Keep every record, including bills, receipts, and correspondence. Then act promptly: Louisiana gives you 2 years from the date of injury to file (for injuries on or after July 1, 2024; older claims had 1 year). Waiting can cost you the right to recover.
