When filing a civil suit like a nursing home abuse lawsuit, there is only a limited amount of time to do so. This limited period of time is called the statute of limitations, and each state has its own statute of limitations for victims to take legal action.
The Louisiana personal injury statute of limitations is one year from the date that the harm took place.
Filing your Louisiana personal injury claim within the state’s statute of limitations is essential. Failing to take legal action in a timely manner may mean that your opportunity to secure financial compensation for your damages will be lost.
