About Our Approach

When you are injured, the stress that comes from not knowing what to expect or the process can be overwhelming.

Working with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney could make a big difference in the outcome of your claim. At Chouest & Smith, we have been practicing personal injury related to motor vehicle accidents and maritime law in South Louisiana for more than four decades.

In our experience, we find that clients want to know what to expect and how the law is going to help protect their future, pay for their medical bills, and provide financial compensation for their pain and suffering. That is what we believe makes our approach different. We take the time to educate you about the law and how this applies to your particular case. We will help you understand how insurance companies work. We will be at your side to help you every step of the way.
