Time Matters in Your Premises Liability Lawsuit
Residential and commercial property owners in Jefferson Parish are required to maintain the safety and integrity of their premises. If you suffer an injury on another person’s property, they might have to bear responsibility for the financial consequences of that injury, including any other damages you experienced.
You might have the opportunity to hold a property owner liable for your injuries. However, the time you have to bring a civil action against them is limited. The Louisiana Civil Code (CC) § 3492 generally gives plaintiffs one year from the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If the lawsuit gets filed after the statutory deadline, the property owner in question or their representative may request immediate dismissal of the lawsuit, and their request may be granted by a judge.
Our premises liability team intends to meet the statute of limitations and ensure your lawsuit moves forward. If you are interested in taking legal action, contact us right away so we can take the necessary steps before the deadline passes.

ClientProperty Owners Have a Responsibility to Live Up
Jefferson Parish property owners are required to maintain their property in a way that protects guests from danger or harm. If they fail to meet this standard of care, the CC § 2322 allows you to hold a negligent property owner financially liable for hazards on their property.
Under this law, the property owner may be held liable for damages if they knew or should have known about a hazard on their property, and “that the damage could have been prevented by the exercise of reasonable care, and that [they] failed to exercise such reasonable care.”
Additionally, the CC § 660 requires property owners to keep their buildings and property in good repair so that people on or passing by their property can remain safe from harm.
With guidance from a Jefferson Parish premises liability lawyer, you might be able to compel payment for the personal injuries you suffered. Contact the premises liability team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers by calling (504) 777-7777 today.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientYou May Be Eligible to Recover These Damages
Guests on private or public property may be entitled to compensation if they get harmed on those premises. You might be entitled to compensation if you slip and fall because of debris, spills, or weather, and no one on the property took proper precautions. You may also qualify if your injuries were the result of a physical attack in an area that should have been secure.
You can go over the details of your injury with one of our team representatives and learn if you qualify to receive compensation for your damages. With a personal injury claim or lawsuit, you may be able to receive payments and reimbursements for your:
- Medical care, physical and occupational therapy, and required medications
- Physical pain and suffering, plus treatment for necessary emotional counseling
- Physical disability or impairments, plus scarring or disfiguring injuries
- Repair or replacement costs of any property that was damaged or destroyed when you were injured
By filing a premises liability claim or lawsuit, you might encourage a negligent property owner to make necessary repairs, which might also help others avoid injury in the future. Maintain careful records of your injuries and expenses. We work hard to make sure nothing is left out when your case is valued.
