Car Accident Claim FAQs

  • How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Louisiana?

    Texas law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, acting fast is crucial—evidence disappears, and insurance companies move quickly to weaken your case.


  • What if the other driver has no insurance?

     We’ll review all available options—including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage—to pursue the compensation you need.

  • What if I was partly at fault?

    Louisiana follows a comparative fault system. You can still recover compensation, but your award may be reduced by your share of fault.

  • Should I talk to the insurance adjuster?

    Don’t give a recorded statement or sign anything without legal advice. Insurers aim to minimize payouts; having an attorney protects your interests from day one.
