The Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Cases
Per the Louisiana Civil Code section 3492, you have one year to file the lawsuit, starting from the time of the injury/accident.  If you file after the one-year deadline, the defendant can file to dismiss the claim.

With very few exceptions, the judge usually grants the dismissal.  This statute, among other reasons listed below, is why we recommend you or a loved one secure a consultation with a Lake Charles, Louisiana personal injury lawyer at Lundy, Lundy, Soileau & South, LLP as close to the injury date as possible.Filing the Lawsuit
After your injury attorney in Lake Charles files your lawsuit, you are further known as the plaintiff, and the individual or entity you allege as responsible becomes the defendant.  During the following days, your attorney will conduct on your claim(s), interview witnesses if available, identify experts to testify, conduct depositions, and prepare you and your case for the possibility of a trial. More often than not, invested parties reach a personal injury claims settlement during the discovery process; only occasionally do these cases proceed to trial. Therefore, having an experienced personal injury trial attorney in Lake Charles is key to obtaining appropriate compensation.  Lundy, Lundy, Soileau & South are widely regarded as leading personal injury trial attorneys in Louisiana.
