Louisiana’s Statute of Limitations on Traffic Accident Cases
Louisiana restricts how long accident victims have to file a legal action based on their injuries. Under CC §3492, victims only have one year from their accident date to seek relief in civil court.
Filing a lawsuit is not always necessary in traffic collision cases, but we need to protect your rights and ensure we can meet all applicable deadlines just the same. If necessary, we will move forward with taking the evidence you have to trial. Contact us as soon as possible after your accident so we can get to work.
