01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Louisiana?
Louisiana's prescriptive period for personal injury is 2 years for injuries after July 1, 2024 and 1 year for earlier injuries (La. Civ. Code art. 3493.1). Discovery rule (contra non valentem doctrine) applies. Whether that time has passed depends on your facts, so don't rule yourself out. A lawyer can confirm yours.
A lawyer can tell you.
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
