Louisiana Personal Injury Law
In Louisiana, the limitation period for personal injury claims is 1 years from the date of injury (La. Civ. Code art. 3492). Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
Wrongful death claims must be filed within 1 years under La. Civ. Code art. 2315.2.
Medical malpractice claims have a 1-year limitation period.
Louisiana follows a pure comparative fault rule. You can recover damages even if you are 99% at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Louisiana is a fault (tort) state. You can file a claim directly against the at-fault driver's insurance or sue them in court.
Louisiana minimum auto insurance: $15,000/$30,000 bodily injury, $25,000 property damage.
Medical malpractice damages cap: $500,000 total cap (exclusive of future medical care) for qualified healthcare providers under La. R.S. 40:1231.2.
