The Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Lawsuits in Louisiana
The statute of limitations for reporting a personal injury in Louisiana is two years from the date of the injury under Louisiana Civil Code § 3492. One of the first pieces of information you should share with your lawyer is the date of the injury and when it was reported so that it can be determined that you are within the statute of limitations to file a lawsuit.
Considering the short amount of time that you are given to file a personal injury lawsuit, it can be a great advantage to begin the filing process immediately. Keeping a record of your injury early on can produce a clear timeline of events that can provide credibility to your claim.
