Areas of Law Description

- Personal Injury

Personal injury in a negligence, products liability, or workers compensation case involves bodily injury to a person such as a bruise, broken bone, pulled muscle or aggravation of a pre-existing condition. Our seasoned personal injury attorneys handle personal injury matters including: negligence; comparative and contributory negligence; intentional torts; personal injury damages; product liability; and statutes of limitations.

- Insurance Bad Faith

Louisiana law imposes penalties on insurers who arbitrarily or capriciously fail to pay a claim. In order to recover the statutory penalties, a claimant must submit a satisfactory proof of loss and show that the insurer failed to pay the claim within the applicable statutory period either without probable cause or in an arbitrary and capricious manner.
