In the State of Louisiana, there is a one year statute of limitations applicable to claims for damages arising from injuries caused by the negligence of another person. What this means, in the context of vehicular collision in Louisiana, is that, within one year from the date of the wreck, a person injured as a result of a vehicular collision who seeks to recover damages caused by the wreck, must either settle his/her claim for damages with the negligent party and his insurer or file a lawsuit against the negligent party and his insurer seeking the recovery of damages, failing which, the claim for damages will be forever barred. As for the value of a personal injury damages claim in Louisiana, each claim stands on its own and is based on the specific facts of the case, including the nature, severity and extent of the injuries suffered, the past and future physical pain and suffering, the past and future mental pain and suffering, the residual impairment and disability, the past and future medical treatment required for the injuries, the past and future medical expenses incurred or to be incurred, past and future loss of wages and/or loss of future income earning capacity, loss of enjoyment and quality of life, scarring and disfigurement, property damages and other incidental damages and losses causally related to the collision and injuries caused by the collision. Additionally, claims for damages are also evaluated by surveying jurisprudence/caselaw to obtain a range of damages awarded by the Louisiana courts in cases involving similar injuries.
