01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Louisiana?
Prescriptive period for personal injury: 2 years for injuries after July 1, 2024 and 1 year for earlier injuries (La. C.C. art. 3493.1). Discovery rule (contra non valentem) applies. Louisiana law generally does not pause the prescriptive period for minors unless a statute says otherwise (La. Civ. Code art. 3468). A lawyer can confirm yours.
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.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Louisiana's prescriptive period is 2 years for injuries after July 1, 2024 and 1 year for earlier injuries (La. C.C. art. 3493.1). Louisiana passed Act 440 (2024) requiring age verification for social media. Louisiana AG Jeff Landry (now Governor) initiated investigations into social media companies. Whether that time has passed depends on your facts, so don't rule yourself out.
