Under Louisiana Civil Code Article 3493.1, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims — including drunk driving accident claims — is two years from the date of the accident for injuries occurring on or after July 1, 2024. For accidents that occurred before that date, the previous one-year deadline still applies. These deadlines are strict, so it is critical to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed on time.
