How Long do I have to file?

In Louisiana, you have a one-year window to file a lawsuit for injury or property damage. A trial is often avoidable as your claim can be settled through effective negotiation. However, achieving a just resolution for severe injury cases might necessitate litigation due to the substantial damages and high stakes involved. Our attorneys are known and experienced in both the Caddo Courthouse and the local Federal Circuit Court.

Who is liable for the injury?

If you’ve been injured due to someone’s negligence in Louisiana, you might have a strong case for a personal injury lawsuit. In Louisiana, liability is determined by comparative fault. This allows you to seek compensation even if you shared some fault. Seeking legal help after an accident caused by someone else is crucial. A skilled lawyer can support you through the process, fighting for your rights while you focus on healing and moving forward.

What is covered?

Louisiana allows you to seek compensation for lost wages, medical bills, property damage, and any degradation of your quality of life or ability to earn an income. Also, non-economic damages can be evaluated, like the loss of companionship, consortium, and the inability to perform activities or hobbies that brought enjoyment. One of the primary functions of an attorney is helping establish liability to ensure you are treated fairly.

How Long Does The Process Take?

It is hard to put a number on any claim or case. Many factors play into the process, like whether there is a fatality, if a minor was involved, if a crime was committed, and the responsiveness of the insurance provider. Morris & Dewett will work hard to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, and you will be informed of every step in the process.

Whether you need answers about a potential claim or it is time to take the next step, we are here for you, ready to help.
