Louisiana Personal Injury FAQs

Have Questions? We have Answers

For over thirty years the Falcon Law Firm has represented clients across Louisiana who have been injured or killed in accidents. From car and trucking accidents on Louisiana’s highways to workplace injuries in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and beyond, our attorneys have seen how life can change in a split second.

What we’ve learned during that time is that every personal injury case is unique. No two accidents, injuries, or recoveries look the same. Still, many of our clients come to us with the same kinds of questions when they first start looking for legal help. Understanding the basics of personal injury law in Louisiana can make the process less intimidating and help you take the right steps to protect yourself and your family.

The purpose of this page is to answer some of the most common questions about personal injury law. These FAQs are designed to give you general guidance about what to expect if you’ve been injured in an accident, how Louisiana law may apply to your situation, and when it may be time to call an attorney. We’ll cover topics such as:

Cost can vary dramatically depending on the complexity of the matter. In simple cases costs are only a few thousand dollars. However, more complex cases can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Falcon Law Firm advances all costs in your case and we do no recoup them unless we obtain a recovery for you.

Typically, you have one year from the accident or injury to file suit. In some cases, where the injury or harm goes unknown until many years later, you have one year from when you knew or should have known that an injury or harm occurred. Missing the deadline to file your lawsuit can cause you to lose your legal right to sue. It is important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible, so you can protect your rights.

Hiring the right personal injury attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make after an accident. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working to limit what they pay out. Having an experienced Louisiana personal injury attorney on your side ensures that you have someone fighting just as hard for your recovery.

At Falcon Law, we take pride in listening to our clients, explaining their options clearly, and being ready to take a case to trial if that’s what justice requires. Unlike firms that push for a quick settlement, we prepare every case thoroughly because we know that preparation is the only way to secure fair compensation.

The questions and answers on this page are a starting point. They cannot replace the advice of an attorney who understands your specific situation.

There is no cost and no risk to learn more about your rights and how Falcon Law Firm can help.
