Louisiana Law

Louisiana Personal Injury Laws & Deadlines

Louisiana follows a one-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, significantly shorter than many other states. The state operates under a comparative fault system, meaning compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault in the accident. Louisiana's unique civil law heritage, derived from the Napoleonic Code, creates distinct procedural requirements that differ from common law states.
