Nursing Home Abuse & Elder Abuse Lawsuit in Louisiana

Statute of Limitations

Louisiana's personal injury SOL (prescriptive period) is 1 year (La. C.C. Art. 3492) — the shortest in the nation. The Nursing Home Residents' Bill of Rights cause of action follows the same 1-year period. Wrongful death claims carry a 1-year period from the date of death (La. C.C. Art. 2315.2). Contact an attorney immediately after discovering abuse in Louisiana.
