Car Accident Claim FAQs

  • How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit 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 doesn’t have insurance?

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

  • Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

    Yes—Louisiana’s comparative fault laws may still allow you to recover a portion of your damages.
