General Louisiana personal injury law context the firm's matters commonly involve: - Statute of limitations: Louisiana generally allows only one year from the date of the accident or injury to file a personal injury claim — one of the shortest deadlines in the country. - Fault: Louisiana follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning a plaintiff's damages are reduced by their percentage of fault but recovery is not barred even if they are mostly at fault. - No-fault auto insurance: Louisiana is a tort (at-fault) state; injured parties may pursue claims directly against the at-fault driver's liability insurance. - Dog bites: Louisiana imposes liability on dog owners when they knew or should have known of the dog's dangerous propensities. - Maritime/Offshore: Louisiana's Gulf Coast location makes Jones Act and general maritime law claims common; the firm handles offshore and maritime injury cases. ## Firm Overview -
