What Is a Personal Injury Case?

Under Louisiana law, if one party causes injury or damages to another party by their negligent or wrongful behavior, the injured party has the right to seek compensation for their damages. 

When the injured person files a civil legal action to recover compensation from the person who caused their damages, it is considered a personal injury action. 

When a person (the plaintiff) files suit against another party (the defendant), they must prove that the defendant wrongfully or negligently caused them harm. They must also prove the value of their damages.

Most personal injury cases are based on negligence. To prove negligence, a plaintiff must prove four elements:

  1. The defendant owed them a duty of care.
  2. The defendant breached that duty of care by their negligent actions or inactions.
  3. The defendant’s breach of duty caused the plaintiff’s injuries.
  4. The plaintiff suffered actual damages that were caused by the defendant’s negligent actions or inactions. 

At Chris Corzo Injury Attorneys, our team thoroughly investigates each accident to determine its cause and liability. We also work diligently to identify and collect the essential evidence necessary to prove each element of our client’s personal injury case.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

A statute of limitations is the law that sets the deadline for filing a personal injury action to recover compensation for damages. If you miss your filing deadline, you will not be able to seek compensation.

Louisiana recently extended its filing deadline for most personal injury claims from one year to two years. Louisiana Civil Code Article 3493.1 became effective July 1, 2024. 

Under this new law, if your accident occurred prior to July 1, 2024, you only have one year to file a claim. If your accident happened on or after July 1, 2024, you have two years to file a claim.

If you lost a loved one due to another party’s fault, you may be entitled to file a Louisiana wrongful death action. However, the deadline for filing a wrongful death claim is only one year from the date of the decedent’s death. 

There are exceptions to the two-year filing deadline. In some cases, you have less time to file, and in other rare situations, you may have additional time to file a claim. You must consult an experienced Addis personal injury attorney to know your filing deadline.
