How to choose a lawyer in Timberlane

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 experience in the courtroom can matter when a case does not settle. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the area. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays case costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use our directory to compare the local attorneys listed and choose the one who fits your situation.

What to do after an accident in Timberlane

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 anything related to the accident. 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, so contact a local attorney early.
