Premises Liability

Baton Rouge Premises Liability Attorney

Have You Been Injured on Someone Else's Property?

Individuals who have suffered injury on the property of another person are protected under premises liability law. For example, you may be able to seek compensation for injuries that resulted from an accident in a park, on a sidewalk or in a parking lot. Property owners are held responsible under the law to make sure their land is maintained and kept in a way that promotes the safety of anyone who visits.

In order for an injury victim to be successful and recover compensation through a premises liability claim, he or she must be able to prove several key factors. Without the help of a Baton Rouge injury attorney, victims will have a challenging time negotiating through the complex legal issues involved with a claim, and they may not be able to recover compensation.

    • Should I take a settlement offer?

      It is never a good idea to settle an insurance claim before speaking with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney that has experience with injury accident cases. Insurance companies have tactics they use to deny claims, redirect fault, and withhold available compensation. An insurance claim can be a complicated process and insurance adjusters can be intimidating to accident victims. An insurance company may assert that the injuries are not as serious as claimed, and attempt to settle quickly for a low amount.

    • Do I need a lawyer in a personal injury claim?

      • Insurance company studies show that those who have legal representation in their case recover an average of 3.5 times more than those who try to get the issue resolved on their own. Insurance companies do not like to pay out large settlements, and frequently move fast with an offer, within days of a car accident or other serious injury accident. If you accept this early offer, it can be a terrible mistake; you may later require more medical treatment, or not recover in the expected amount of time, or could experience complications. I will carefully evaluate your injury case and ensure that we are pursuing every type of damage that could be claimed in your case. It is very important that you have legal counsel that will protect your right to fair compensation, and I will fight for fair treatment for you and your family. A personal injury lawyer is imperative if you suffered serious injuries. I am a Louisiana attorney that is interested in helping your resolve these issues.

    • Is adoption a long process?

      • Each adopted child has different circumstances. There are several types of adoptions that could take place, including a stepparent adoption, a private adoption or a standard adoption. Each has its own specific challenges. With the help of my firm, we will speed the process through the system as quickly as we can so that you can begin your new family and move forward with starting life together.

    • How will child support be calculated?
      Child support is calculated differently depending on the state one resides in, but the general factors taken into consideration by the court when calculating payments include:
      • the standard of living of the child prior to the divorce;
      • the ability to pay of the parent giving child support;
      • the specific needs of the child, including their food, clothing, and educational costs; and
      • the needs and income of the custodial parent (the parent with primary custody of the child).
    • Do I have to go to court in order to obtain a divorce?

      Filing divorce papers with a court is the only way you will obtain a legal separation from your spouse. This applies to any other form of legal separation, including a marriage annulment. Aside from the divorce decree itself, a court is able to assist in settling other matters related to divorce, which include child custody and the distribution of marital assets.
