Louisiana extended the statute of limitations for some personal injury claims arising after July 1, 2024. If your injury occurred on or after that date, the prior one-year deadline to file a lawsuit will now become two years from the date of your injury.
Wrongful death lawsuits and claims arising out of defective or dangerous products are also still subject to the one-year limit. You can preserve your rights by contacting a New Orleans personal injury attorney at Werner, Hoffman, Greig, & Garcia immediately after the incident.
Like most states, Louisiana follows the comparative negligence approach to negligence claims. When you sue for compensation after an injury, the court allocates fault between the parties. If you are partially to blame, the court reduces the compensation you collect by percentage equal to your degree of fault.
The state used to follow the pure comparative negligence standard, meaning that you could collect reduced damages no matter how much responsibility you bore for your injuries. A change in Louisiana Civil Code § 2323 that takes effect on January 1, 2026, imposes a stricter standard.
The new law still reduces your damages by your percentage of fault. However, if you are more than 50 percent responsible, you cannot claim damages from other responsible parties.
