01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Louisiana?
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). The discovery rule (contra non valentem) can delay when it starts. FTCA claims still have a 2-year administrative filing deadline. 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.
