Benoit David Attorney At Law

Criminal Defense
Attorney David Benoit has more than 25 years of experience and legal expertise in a number of specific practice areas - including personal injury, medical negligence, criminal defense, and general litigation.

Premises Liability
Lawyers refer to slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall cases as premises liability cases. The Louisiana laws addressing premises liability are rather complicated depending on whether or not the incident occurred in a grocery store-type setting or at someone’s home, a place of business, or at a commercial or construction site. Generally, the law requires the victim to prove the owner or custodian of the premises where the fall occurred either knew or should have known about the condition that caused the fall. For example, you lean on a railing on a friend's porch, it gives way, and you’re injured. If the friend knew the railing was bad and perhaps says something like, “Oops, I meant to fix that,” that suggests he knew or should have known of the rail's condition. On the other hand, if you lean against a friend’s railing and it gives way and he says something like: “I was sitting on that the other day and it was fine,” – you may have a problem proving he knew or should have known about the rail's condition. Premises liability cases are notoriously difficult to litigate and often require the services of one or more expert witnesses to show a condition was defective because of improper construction, made of the wrong materials, poorly designed, etc.
Property Damage
There are several types of uninsured motorist coverage. Some are basically all encompassing in that they cover you for whatever happens to you just as if the person who hit you had adequate insurance. Or, and this is becoming more common, they cover only certain things, such as economic losses which include medical bills and provable wage loss. There is even an uninsured motorist product that covers your property damage if you are hit by an uninsured or underinsured motorist. I strongly urge you to ask your insurance agent about the benefits of uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

Personal Injury
David Benoit was born in Ottawa, Canada in 1951 and is fluent in both French and English. He has been practicing law for more than 25 years with a primary focus on personal injury.
Medical Malpractice
Generally, however, most cases that do not involve very serious or catastrophic injuries can be settled or brought to trial fairly quickly. Fairly quickly means within about eighteen months or so. On the other hand, it can take much longer to handle cases with injuries that are slow to resolve or non-resolving and cases that have complicated legal or factual issues. Medical malpractice cases, for example, can take a long time to get to trial and resolution. The same can be said for cases involving defective products or unsafe premises. Cases that involve expert testimony can also take a long time to resolve.
