How do I choose the personal injury lawyer that’s right for me?
The most important thing is to choose a firm that has a record of litigating and winning accident cases. Many personal injury lawyers avoid going to trial and just try to settle cases quickly. Insurance companies know this and don’t offer big settlements. At the de Boisblanc Law Firm, our personal injury attorneys have obtained judgments that exceeded one million dollars. We’re not afraid to go to trial, and we’ll fight hard to get you every dollar you deserve for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and your pain and suffering.
How do I pay for legal services?
In Louisiana, personal injury lawyers are usually paid on a contingency fee basis. At the the de Boisblanc Law Firm, no recovery means no fee, no costs, or expenses, unless we get money for you.
How long will it take to get a fair settlement offer?
In Louisiana, personal injury lawsuits can vary in length from weeks to years in some instances. The attorneys at the de Boisblanc Law Firm will thoroughly investigate your claim to make sure you get all the money you deserve as quickly as possible.
Will I have to go to court?
If the insurance company agrees to pay what we believe your case is worth, and you decide to settle for that amount, then you don’t have to go to court. We take going to court very seriously, and we use our on-site state of the art mock jury courtroom to prepare for trials.
