Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice claim in Louisiana?
In Louisiana you generally have one year from the date of the injury to file a claim. There is also a three-year limit from the date of the alleged malpractice regardless of when the injury is discovered. These deadlines are strict so it is important to act quickly.
What damages can I recover in a Louisiana medical malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages. Louisiana also allows noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering but caps them at $500,000. Punitive damages are not available in most medical malpractice cases in Louisiana.
Do I need to submit my claim to a medical review panel first?
Yes Louisiana law requires most medical malpractice claims to be reviewed by a medical review panel before filing a lawsuit. This panel reviews the evidence and issues an opinion on whether the standard of care was breached. The process can take up to 12 months or longer.
