Types of Personal Injuries in Louisiana

RUDIN LAW has a proven track record in handling a wide variety of personal injury cases in Louisiana and Texas including:

At RUDIN LAW, our legal team handles motor vehicle accident cases involving insurance claims, serious injury cases involving traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord injuries, and even wrongful death claims arising from serious accident cases. Factors such as a company vehicle, a motorcyclist, or a truck involved in an accident can lead to more complex legal considerations than a car accident involving two small and enclosed passenger vehicles.

We fight for monetary compensation to help our clients cover harms and losses due to the accident, such as current and future medical expenses and other specific economic losses โ€” as well as non-economic losses like pain and suffering. Our New Orleans law firm seeks the maximum compensation under Louisiana Law if you have been injured in an accident, and we are prepared to fight for your interests in court if the other side will not agree to a reasonable settlement to support your recovery.

Personal Injury

Statutes of Limitations You Need to Know to Seek Recovery for a Personal Injury

In Louisiana, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases, including those involving pain and product liability, is one year from the date of the injury. This short timeframe makes it vital for victims to seek justice promptly, as failing to file within this period could lead to the loss of one’s right to pursue a settlement or take their case to court.

Neighboring Texas, on the other hand, allows a two-year window for filing personal injury lawsuits. This extended period gives victims more time to gather evidence and negotiate with insurance companies before deciding whether to pursue legal action.

However, certain types of cases, such as those against government entities, may have shorter deadlines, emphasizing the need for a timely legal consultation.

How Comparative Negligence Impacts Your Case

Comparative negligence significantly affects personal injury cases in Louisiana and neighboring Texas, and it differs in each of these states:

  • In Louisiana, which follows a pure negligence rule, a truck driver’s liability insurance may still cover damages even if the injured party shares fault. The jury determines the percentage of fault for each party, which directly impacts the final compensation awarded.
  • Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, where an injured person is eligible to recover damages if they are less than 51% at fault. This system affects how courts determine the duty of care and assign liability.

The following table illustrates the impact of comparative negligence on potential compensation:

Plaintiff’s Fault Louisiana Texas
0-50% Eligible to recover damages, reduced by fault percentage Eligible to recover damages, reduced by fault percentage
51-99% Eligible to recover damages, reduced by fault percentage Not eligible for recovery
100% Not eligible for recovery Not eligible for recovery
