What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim is when someone gets hurt because of another person’s negligence. This includes car accidents, slip and falls, medical mistakes, and more. If you were hurt and it wasn’t your fault, you may have a right to compensation.
Key Louisiana Laws
Louisiana follows several personal injury related rules and regulations, including:
- Fault-Based System: Louisiana law says the person who caused your injury is responsible for your losses.
- Comparative Fault: If you share some responsibility for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
- Time Limit: You usually have one year from your injury date to file a claim, but this can change depending on the case.
- Direct Action Rule: In Louisiana, you can sue the at-fault person’s insurance company directly, which can make getting compensation easier.
