Louisiana Laws that May Affect Your Potential Lawsuit
Pursuing the tow truck driver, towing company owner, or another liable party after an accident can be an involved process. Various Louisiana laws may impact your case. A few of the laws that you should be familiar with when requesting financial compensation for car accident injuries include:
- Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492: this law places a one-year statute of limitations, or legal deadline, on personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in In Louisiana. Waiting longer than the deadline in your case to take legal action could mean that your lawsuit gets dismissed.
- CC §2323: Louisiana’s comparative fault law makes it so victims may still be able to recover compensation for an accident that they were partially at fault for. However, their payout may be reduced in proportion to their degree of fault. This law makes it important to collect evidence of the full extent of the responsible party’s liability.
- Louisiana Revised Statutes (RS) §32:398: this law requires you to file a crash report with the police if anyone involved in a collision is physically or fatally injured. A crash report is also required if more than $500 of property damage is readily apparent. If the police did not respond to the scene of your accident, you should file a crash report as soon as possible.
