If you were hurt in a crash or accident in New Orleans, Louisiana's deadline recently changed in your favor, but the timing depends on your accident date. For injuries on or after July 1, 2024, you now have two years to file a lawsuit (Act 423); for injuries before that date, the old one-year deadline still applies. Louisiana uses pure comparative fault, so you can recover even if you were partly to blame, with your award reduced by your share. Most New Orleans injury suits are filed in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court. Below: vetted New Orleans personal injury firms that handle car, truck, maritime, and serious-injury cases on contingency, so you pay nothing up front.

New Orleans personal injury lawyers work on contingency, so you pay nothing up front and the fee comes from the recovery. The common structure is 33% (one-third) if the case settles before suit, rising to about 40% if a lawsuit is filed. Case costs such as records and experts are usually reimbursed from the settlement on top of the fee. You owe no attorney fee if there is no recovery. Because Louisiana's filing deadline depends on your accident date, talk to a lawyer early and confirm the fee terms in writing.
