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). Louisiana law generally does not pause the prescriptive period for minors unless a statute says otherwise (La. Civ. Code art. 3468). Louisiana's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (La. RS 51:1401) provides a 1-year window with potential treble damages. A lawyer can confirm yours.

2 years for injuries after July 1, 2024; 1 year for earlier injuries (La. Civ. Code art. 3493.1); prescription generally runs against minors (La. Civ. Code art. 3468). Whether that time has passed depends on your facts, so don't rule yourself out. 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.
