A Sole Practitioner Dedicated To Your Legal Needs
Louisiana law can be quite intimidating to those not familiar with its origins. Although based primarily on French Napoleanic Law rather than English Common Law as in most other states, a trained and skilled lawyer can make sure that you understand all of your rights and obligations under the legal principles applicable to your specific situation. As a solo practitioner, David R. Bankston can help answer your questions about various legal needs for you and your family.
Personal Injury
If you or your property has been injured or harmed due to no fault of your own but rather the negligence of another party, then you can prove liability and damages to help receive compensation for your losses. Personal injury encompasses many different scenarios and events resulting in injuries or property damages. This may include automobile accidents, workplace accidents, premises liability, product liability, dog bites, wrongful death, and more. My office can review your claim to determine if you have a case.
Social Security Disability
Millions of Americans have an injury or disability that limits them from working. If you are disabled and unable to work, you could be entitled to Social Security Disability. However, receiving these benefits can be challenging to obtain if you try on your own with the Social Security office. Therefore you want to seek legal representation that knows how to pursue your claim with the Social Security system to secure the benefits that you and your family deserve.
Workers’ Compensation
If you have suffered an injury or illness in the workplace, you could be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. These injuries can be life-changing and affect your health and way of life for years to come. Receiving the proper compensation for these injuries can prove to be difficult because employers have their attorneys and insurance companies that work for them to convince you to settle for less. That is why you want an experienced attorney in this area to fight for your rights and the benefits for you and your family. David R. Bankston will represent you in your workers’ compensation case.
Wills And Estates
You have worked your entire life and accumulated possessions and property that you don’t want to leave to the government or have your surviving loved ones fighting over when you are no longer here. Go ahead and take care of that in advance with a will or estate planning so that your family and loved ones can avoid unnecessary probate issues. My office can discuss your plans and draw up the paperwork for your will. In addition to wills, our office can also assist you with powers of attorney and medical directives.
