What Is Personal Injury?

Personal injury is a field of civil law. When an individual (the plaintiff) is hurt at no fault of their own, they are granted to right to bring a lawsuit against the person or entity responsible for their injuries (the defendant). If the defendant is found guilty of causing the accident (or failing to prevent it), they will have to pay the plaintiff compensation to cover the latter’s accident-related losses, such as their medical bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims?

In the state of Louisiana, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is one year per Louisiana Civil Code section 3492. Therefore, you must initiate a personal injury claim within one year of the plaintiff’s accident—otherwise, the court will not hear your case and you will not be eligible for compensation.

What damages can you get for personal injury?

You can receive compensation for any losses or “damages” that are deemed both relevant to your accident and necessary for your recovery. This typically includes compensation for all:

accident-related medical expenses,
lost wages,
property damage,
pain and suffering,
mental anguish,
and other economic and non-economic damages.

How do you win a personal injury claim?

Presenting a strong case is the best way to win your claim. This includes evidence such as accident reports, pictures from the scene of the accident, expert testimony, and more. By working with an attorney to build your claim, you increase your chances of winning your case by partnering with someone who understands the ins and outs of personal injury as well as what factors may make or break a case.

How long does it take to settle a personal injury case in Louisiana?

The duration of a personal injury claim varies based on the unique factors of each case. The personal injury claims process includes many steps such as:

an investigation,
the discovery process,
sending a demand letter to the defendant,
filing paperwork, and more.

The duration of your case will be based on how long these processes take as well as other factors such as how cooperative the defendant is and whether your case makes it to trial. This means your case can take anywhere from several weeks to a few years to settle. Rest assured, if you work with our firm we will be able to provide a more accurate timeline based on your situation and will do our best to settle your case as quickly as possible.
