PRACTICE AREAS

Sometimes people are injured through the negligence of others. Tragically, others are killed in such accidents. Whether that be a car accident, a fall, or through a defective product, when these injuries occur, such injured persons and the families are left to suffer the aftershocks of such injuries, such as, medical bills, expenses for future medical treatment, loss wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional distress. The injured and their families are unsure if they should seek legal counsel for their damages. It is important to know your rights and to seek the compensation that you and your family deserve. 

At Chris LaCombe Law Firm we have worked on numerous and significant personal injury cases and have earned the compensation that our clients deserve. We are also a trial law firm, meaning the cases we take we also prepare for trial. Our motto, “Justice for the Common Good”, means that we do not take any case that comes in the door, but we take the cases where legitimate injuries have been suffered and that serves our community by insuring that injured persons are made whole. 

The Constitution provides those charged with a crime a right to defend themselves. At Chris LaCombe Law Firm, we seek to protect the rights of those charged and seek the best possible outcome for our clients. Also, as a trial law firm, we are ready to take to these matters to trial. Ensuing a fair trial, adhering to the Constitution, and protecting the rights of all parties is how we seek to serve the common good. 

After Hurricanes Laura and Delta, our community was left reeling, with no Southwest Louisiana resident left untouched. Unfortunately, this trauma was increased by insurance companies refusing to adequately compensate home and business owners for their damages. Louisiana Law provides remedies to home and business owners, not only to recover your damages, but to recover penalties and attorney fees from insurance companies who fail to act in good faith. If you or your business is still fighting with your insurance company, contact us for help. Because having the insurance company adhering to its policy and rebuilding our community, certainly benefits the common good. 

If you find yourself in the middle of a contract dispute, contractor’s issue, business/commercial dispute, or other civil matter, Chris LaCombe Law Firm has successfully handled civil litigation cases. 

After a trial, your case may end up at the appellate court either seeking a review of a trial court’s verdict or seeking to uphold a trial court verdict. At Chris LaCombe Law Firm, we have successfully handled cases at the appellate court and the Louisiana Supreme Court. We have also been able to secure victories at the appellate court level that resulted in our clients keeping large damage awards or increasing large damage awards. Should you need a lawyer to draft an appellate brief and clearly present your case to an appellate court, we are ready to provide a fresh perspective on your case.
