Frequently Asked
Questions.
Clear answers for Louisiana injury clients. For anything specific to your circumstances, the most accurate answer is a brief phone call.
How much does it cost to hire Blu Legacy Law?
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis,meaning there are no upfront fees and no fees at all unless we recover for you. The initial consultation is complimentary and confidential.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Louisiana?
Louisiana's prescriptive period for most personal injury claims is one year from the date of injury,among the shortest in the country. Certain exceptions exist, but they are narrow. The earlier you call, the more leverage we preserve: evidence is fresher, witnesses are reachable, and the timeline works for you rather than against you.
What types of cases does the firm take?
Blu Legacy Law focuses on serious personal injury matters,automobile collisions, commercial truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and complex negligence claims. The deliberately focused docket is part of the standard of representation we offer.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
If safe, document the scene with photographs, exchange information, and seek medical evaluation,even for symptoms that seem minor. Report the incident to law enforcement and obtain a copy of the report. Then call counsel before speaking with any insurance adjuster, including your own. What you say in the first 72 hours often shapes the value of the claim.
Will my case have to go to court?
The majority of personal injury matters resolve through negotiation. That said, the willingness,and the readiness,to take a case to trial is often what produces a fair settlement. We prepare every case as if it will be tried, and that posture tends to be felt across the table.
How long will my case take to resolve?
Timelines vary widely based on the severity of injury, the clarity of liability, and the cooperation of the insurer. A straightforward claim may resolve within months; a complex matter involving disputed liability or significant damages can take a year or longer. The honest answer comes after a case review.
Where in Louisiana do you take cases?
The firm represents clients across the entire state,from New Orleans and Baton Rouge to Lafayette, Lake Charles, Shreveport, Monroe, Alexandria, and the communities between. Meetings can be held in person, by phone, or by video as your situation requires.
What if the insurance company has already made me an offer?
Early offers are rarely the offer your case is worth. They are designed to close a file before the full extent of injury, treatment cost, and long-term impact is known. Do not sign or accept anything before counsel has reviewed it,and certainly not before you have completed medical treatment.
Can I afford a serious injury attorney?
Yes. The contingency model exists precisely so that the quality of your representation is not determined by the depth of your wallet. You pay nothing unless we recover. Cost should never be the reason a serious injury goes under-represented.
Will I work directly with Summer?
Yes. The firm was built around direct attorney-client relationships. You will know your attorney, and your attorney will know your case.
