Best Consumer Protection Lawyers in Lafayette, LA

The prime directive in a personal injury matter is to give the plaintiff every opportunity to reach maximum medical improvement.

Losing your job usually means you and your family also lose any group health insurance coverage you received as a benefit of your employment. However, under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), group health plans sponsored by employees with 20 or more employees are required to offer continuation of coverage under the group plan for terminated and laid-off workers and their dependents for a period of up to 18 or 36 months.

Our job is to handle all legal aspects of your case and to monitor, track and assist in getting the medical attention you need. You should do all that is necessary to make recovery from your injuries possible (known as mitigating your damages). A high-quality plaintiff does not exaggerate his problems, but also, does not try to minimize. You have every right to bring to light EVERY aspect of your life that has been impacted by this accident. We will do our part in helping you achieve that. The insurance company will respect a meritorious claim that is seriously and firmly presented as true and proper. From a time-frame aspect, do not rush yourself or your treatment. Reaching MMI is the triggering point to prepare a settlement package and present it in its complete form. A settlement can usually be effected within 90 days after that.
