Understanding Personal Injury in Louisiana
Personal injury law in Louisiana allows injured individuals to pursue compensation if someone else’s negligence caused their injury. However, these cases are time-sensitive.
Key Louisiana Injury Law Facts:
- As of July 1, 2024, Louisiana law now allows two years, rather than one, to file a personal injury claim for incidents occurring on or after that date. While this extension offers additional time to pursue compensation, it’s important to understand how this change may affect your legal options.
- Comparative fault rules apply; your compensation may be reduced if you were partially at fault.
- Insurance adjusters often try to offer low settlements, don’t accept one without legal advice.
We help ensure every document is filed on time and your rights are fully protected. Don’t miss your chance of getting the compensation you deserve – contact us today!
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you’ve been injured, you may be eligible to recover:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages or loss of earning capacity
- Property damage
- Punitive damages (in cases of extreme negligence)
Our experienced attorneys meticulously investigate every detail of your case, from accident reports and medical records to witness statements and expert evaluations, to build a strong claim on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury in New Orleans
If you’ve been injured in an accident, your actions in the first few minutes and hours are critical. Start by seeking medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor, some symptoms may appear later. Next, report the incident to the police or the property owner, depending on where the injury occurred. If possible, take photos of the scene, your injuries, and anything else that may be relevant (like road conditions, broken equipment, etc.). Get contact information from any witnesses who saw what happened. Most importantly, avoid giving statements to insurance companies until you speak with an attorney. At Bloom Legal Network, we can guide you through the process from day one and help you avoid mistakes that could hurt your case.
Yes, you can. Louisiana follows a comparative fault system, which means that being partially at fault does not bar you from recovering damages. Instead, any compensation you’re awarded will be reduced by your percentage of fault. These situations can get complicated quickly. The insurance company may try to shift more blame onto you to reduce what they owe. That’s where we come in. At Bloom Legal Network, we work hard to push back against these tactics and make sure your side of the story is fully represented.
At Bloom Legal Network, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t have to pay anything upfront. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you. This allows you to pursue justice without worrying about legal fees or costs while you focus on your recovery. This model also ensures that your attorney is motivated to get the best possible outcome in your case. If you don’t win, you don’t pay.
After July 1, 2024, you have two years from the date of the accident or injury to file a lawsuit in Louisiana. For injuries occurring before July 1, 2024, you only have 1 year. This deadline, known as the statute of limitations, is strictly enforced by courts. If you wait too long, you may lose your right to recover compensation, even if you have a strong case. That’s why it’s so important to contact Bloom Legal Network as soon as possible. We can help you gather evidence, file on time, and protect your legal rights from the start.
