Frequently Asked Questions About New Orleans Personal Injury Claims
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in New Orleans?
Louisiana has one of the shortest statutes of limitations in the country—just one year from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This makes it critical for New Orleans residents to consult with a personal injury lawyer promptly after an accident.

Most personal injury claims settle without going to trial. However, if your case does require litigation, our attorneys will thoroughly prepare you for any court appearances in Orleans Parish Civil District Court and handle the complex legal procedures on your behalf.
