You have the right to a peaceful recovery after a life-changing accident. How do you get your life back on track, though? Personal injury accidents can prove financially challenging to even the most prepared of parties. Our efforts can help you protect your financial health without introducing more stress into your life.
When to File a Personal Injury Claim
If you do want to take legal action against the party liable for your personal injury accident, you need to do so within Louisiana’s personal injury statute of limitations. Louisiana has one of the tightest personal injury statute of limitations in the nation. According to CC Art. 3492, you have two years from the day your accident takes place to bring your claim forward.
Likewise, if you want to contest a loved one’s wrongful death in civil court, CC Art. 2315.2 allows you to take two years and no longer to gather the evidence needed to make your claim. You cannot miss these deadlines if you want to demand compensation for your losses.
Louisiana civil courts deem evidence submitted after an expired statute of limitations to no longer accurately reflect the nature of the accident it refers to. If you’re struggling to build a case or aren’t sure when your filing deadline expires, get in touch with our team today.
