How To Know If You Have a Case

Determining if you have a case in New Orleans, Louisiana, involves several steps. First, evaluate if there is evidence of negligence, breach of contract, or wrongdoing that caused harm. These cases can range from personal injury to business disputes and beyond.

Second, consulting with an experienced Louisiana attorney is crucial to assessing the specifics of your situation. Is there liability? Has the case “prescribed” (commonly known as the statute of limitations expiring)? Would a settlement cover the cost of hiring an attorney?

Our team at Chehardy Sherman Williams will provide a thorough review and guide you on the best course of action to ensure your rights are protected.
