Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Louisiana?

Louisiana has one of the shortest deadlines in the country — most personal injury cases must be filed within one year of the incident under La. Civ. Code art. 3492. Missing this deadline almost always bars the claim. Contact an attorney quickly after any serious injury.

What is comparative fault in Louisiana?

Louisiana follows pure comparative fault, which means your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault but is never barred. For example, a 30% at-fault plaintiff can still recover 70% of damages. This rule shapes settlement strategy in nearly every case.

Where are injury cases filed in Ouachita Parish?

Most personal injury suits are filed at the Ouachita Parish Courthouse in Monroe, served by the Fourth Judicial District Court. Smaller claims may go to city or justice of the peace court. Your attorney will choose the proper venue.
