Louisiana operates under a distinct legal framework that affects every personal injury case in the state. Understanding how these laws apply to your situation is an important first step in evaluating your claim.
Pure Comparative Fault
Louisiana follows a pure comparative fault system under Louisiana Civil Code Article 2323. This means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault in the accident, but you can still recover even if you were partially responsible. For example, if you were found 20% at fault for a crash, you can still recover 80% of your total damages. Insurance companies routinely attempt to inflate a victim's percentage of fault to reduce their payout. An experienced attorney counters that effort with evidence.
Prescriptive Period
Louisiana has strict filing deadlines for personal injury claims. Under Louisiana Civil Code Article 3493.1, victims of accidents occurring on or after July 1, 2024 generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. For accidents that occurred before that date, the previous one-year deadline applies. Wrongful death claims carry a one-year prescriptive period regardless of the accident date. Missing these deadlines eliminates your right to recover entirely.
Punitive Damages
Louisiana does not allow punitive damages in most personal injury cases. However, there are specific exceptions where punitive damages are available, including crashes caused by drunk drivers under Louisiana Civil Code Article 2315.4 and certain cases involving the storage or disposal of hazardous substances. When punitive damages apply, they significantly increase the value of a claim and give our attorneys substantial leverage in settlement negotiations.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Louisiana law requires insurers to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, commonly called UM/UIM coverage, to all policyholders. This coverage protects you when the at-fault driver is uninsured, underinsured, or unknown, as in a hit and run case. Policyholders may reject UM/UIM coverage in writing, but those who carry it have an important additional source of compensation available to them. Our attorneys review every client's policy at the outset of a case to determine what coverage applies.
En general, tiene un año desde la fecha de su lesión solo si fue lesionado antes del 1 de julio de 2024. Para quienes fueron lesionados el 1 de julio de 2024 o después, tienen hasta dos años para presentar correctamente una demanda civil. No espere para consultar con un abogado.
El estándar en el negocio de los abogados de lesiones personales es un tercio de la recuperación más los costos. En la mayoría de los casos, esa tarifa puede llegar hasta el 40% a medida que se acerca al juicio. No hay honorarios iniciales y no se cobra nada a menos que ganemos su caso.
El valor de un caso es probablemente la parte más difícil de este negocio. Requiere mucha experiencia, haber ejercido por mucho tiempo y haber manejado muchos casos similares. Factores como la gravedad de sus lesiones, gastos médicos, pérdida de ingresos, dolor y sufrimiento, y las circunstancias del accidente determinan el valor.
Primero, pida ayuda. Notifique a la policía si alguien está lesionado, llame al 911 y solicite una ambulancia o atención médica. Luego debe cooperar con la investigación de la policía. Tome fotos si puede. No hable con los representantes de la compañía de seguros sin consultar primero con un abogado.
No. No. No. Una oferta de la compañía de seguros casi siempre es menor de lo que se le debe y de lo que recibirá con la ayuda de un abogado de lesiones con experiencia.
Sí. A partir del 1 de enero de 2026, Louisiana sigue un sistema de culpa comparativa modificada con una barra de más del 50%. Esto significa que puede recuperar daños solo si se determina que usted tiene el 50% o menos de culpa en el accidente.
