How Long Do I Have In Louisiana To File A Lawsuit After A Car Accident?

  • By: Gertler Law Firm

In Louisiana, it is typical that you have one year to file your claim from the date of the accident. This is called the prescription period. However, there sometimes can be exceptions to this rule that will allow you to still file a lawsuit.

It is important to contact a personal injury attorney right away so they can research and advise you whether your claim has been barred from being filed or there is still time. Don’t wait to contact an attorney though.
