Act Quickly to Ensure Your Burn Injury Lawsuit Meets Louisiana Filing Deadlines
The statute of limitations in personal injury cases in Louisiana is generally one year from the date of the accident, according to Louisiana Civil Code § 3492. Similarly, the wrongful death statute of limitations is generally one year from the date of a loved one’s demise, according to Louisiana Civil Code § 2315.2.
The statute of limitations is complicated and can fluctuate, so the best way to manage it is to let us handle it for you. We will carefully examine your case to ensure the filing deadline is accurately interpreted and your lawsuit is filed within the allotted time.

The Evidence We Collect Will Support Our Settlement Negotiations
