01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Louisiana?
Louisiana's prescriptive period for delictual actions including personal injury is 2 years for injuries after July 1, 2024 and 1 year for earlier injuries (La. Civ. Code art. 3493.1). The contra non valentem doctrine may toll the period for latent diseases until the connection to talcum powder is discovered, but Louisiana courts apply this narrowly. 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 for personal injury claims is 2 years for injuries after July 1, 2024 and 1 year for earlier injuries (La. Civ. Code art. 3493.1). Louisiana's discovery rule (contra non valentem) may extend the deadline for latent disease. Whether that time has passed depends on your facts, so don't rule yourself out. A lawyer can tell you.
