Louisiana’s Legal Time Limits for Industrial Accident Claims

In Louisiana, there are strict time limits for filing a lawsuit after an industrial accident. Here’s what you need to know:

You have only two years from the date of the accident to start a legal case. If you wait longer than two years, you might not be able to get any compensation.

If the accident was fatal, the family has two years from the date of the victim’s death to file a lawsuit.

There are some exceptions. For example, if a child is injured, the two-year period doesn’t start until they turn 18. Also, if the accident’s cause isn’t clear right away, the time limit might start later.
