Why You Should Contact Us Now
Reason #1: You could harm your ability to get a fair settlement. Chances are, the responsible party's insurance company or lawyers may try to contact you. DO NOT communicate with them until you have met with attorney Bobby Lormand. Any information you provide, comment you make, or answer you give could be twisted against you. Without the advice and representation of a lawyer you could make a horrible situation even worse.
Reason #2: You have a tight time deadline to file. In Louisiana, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed within one year of the date of death. It takes time to properly prepare and file a lawsuit of this nature. Additionally, as time elapses witnesses forget details, and thereby lose their credibility and value. This is especially crippling if your case goes to a jury trial.
