Workplace injury intake for New Orleans firms.

Workplace injury inquiries need sorting early: workers' compensation, a third-party claim, or both. Casestead answers every workplace injury inquiry to your firm in about a minute, day or night, and books qualified people with your intake team in New Orleans.

What the reply desk asks

Qualifying questions come from your firm's written criteria. For workplace injury inquiries, firms usually ask for:

• Employer and type of work
• Date of the injury and how it happened
• Whether it was reported to the employer
• Whether a workers' compensation claim is open
• Any outside contractor, equipment maker or property owner involved
• Whether they have a lawyer

Why the first minute matters

Injured workers often reach out after a shift or on weekends. Fast answers, and questions that spot possible third-party claims, help your team see which inquiries deserve an attorney's time first.

Follow-up

Unsigned consults get a follow-up draft about their injury and where things stand, approved by your intake lead.

Louisiana context for intake

The general limitation period for personal-injury negligence claims in Louisiana is 2 years (2 years for injuries on or after July 1, 2024 (Act 423 of 2024); 1 year (former art. 3492) for earlier injuries). Inquiries about older incidents are flagged for a lawyer instead of being booked like a new case.

General rules for context only, not legal advice. Exceptions apply (minors, government defendants, discovery rules, recent amendments). Your firm's lawyers decide.
