Legal Malpractice

When someone in Louisiana hires a lawyer to help them with a legal issue, they expect the lawyer to adhere to code of ethics to clients as established by the state government. In fact, the lawyer has a legal obligation to comply with the code of ethics. That includes representing clients to the best of their ability, maintaining confidentiality regarding each case, explaining legal fees, and communicating with clients in a timely manner. If your attorney’s actions caused you to lose your case or suffer a financial loss, you may have grounds for legal malpractice.

A legal malpractice case can be complex and requires the expertise of a legal malpractice lawyer. You need to gather enough evidence to show that your attorney was negligent or did something illegal. A professional legal malpractice lawyer can evaluate your situation to determine whether you have grounds for legal malpractice.

Personal Injury

A personal injury is the result of an incident where someone is hurt through no fault of their own. Personal injury cases involve a variety of mishaps and are fairly common. Someone is injured and another individual or entity is responsible for the harm.

If you suffer an injury due to someone’s actions or negligence you may need the help of a personal injury lawyer to recover compensation for your injuries, loss of income, and pain and suffering. There are strict limits on the time you have to file a claim as well as economic caps on damages. Preparing such a personal injury lawsuit requires gathering countless medical reports from multiple health care professionals, insurance reports, witness statements, police reports, and a comprehensive investigation of the scene of the accident. Expert witnesses and accident reconstructionists may be called in to present testimony. A personal injury attorney can prepare a solid personal injury case should choose to file a lawsuit.

Slip And Fall

A slip and fall accident can happen anywhere, at any time. While many of these accidents happen at work, they could also happen in your home, at a recreational facility, a business, or even while you are on vacation.

Sometimes a fall is the result of slipping on a wet floor or icy sidewalk or tripping on uneven pavement or stairs. The injuries can be severe and require medical treatment, absence from work, lost wages, and death.

If you are injured in a fall, it is to your benefit to consult with a slip and fall lawyer to discuss whether any legal options are available to you. You may be able to obtain compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. It is important to discuss your accident and injuries with a qualified Mandeville lawyer who can explain the time constraints and Louisiana’s comparative negligence clause regarding slip and fall accidents in Louisiana.
