How Long Do You Have To File?
For most injury cases from crashes on or after July 1, 2024, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in Louisiana. This is the statute of limitations, also called prescription. Some claims, like medical malpractice, have different rules. If your crash was before July 1, 2024, the one-year deadline may still apply. Do not wait. A quick call helps protect your rights.
How Does Comparative Fault Work in Louisiana?
Louisiana uses a pure comparative fault system. This means you can still recover money even if you share some blame. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if your damages are $100,000 and you are found 20% responsible, you can still collect $80,000. Starting January 1, 2026, Louisiana will move to a modified system with a 51% bar. Until then, the current rule applies.
What Is No Pay, No Play As Of August 1, 2025?
If you did not have required liability insurance at the time of a crash, No Pay, No Play limits what you can recover. As of August 1, 2025, uninsured drivers cannot recover the first $100,000 of bodily injury damages or the first $100,000 of property damage. Some exceptions apply when the at-fault driver was drunk, acted intentionally, or fled the scene. Passengers and non-owner drivers may have different rights.

We ARE TRANSPARENT
We don’t play games and we don’t hide the ball.
FREE Confidential Case Review (985) 240-9773What Can a Settlement Cover?
Your settlement should reflect the full harm, not just your first bills. We help document every loss:
- Medical care now and in the future, including therapy and needed equipment
- Lost wages and reduced ability to earn
- Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage, towing, and rental costs
- In wrongful death cases, financial and emotional losses for the family
Every detail matters. Your case value depends on proving negligence, which includes showing that another party owed a duty of care, breached that duty, caused your injuries, and left you with real losses. Our team collects the proof that connects those dots clearly and convincingly.
We ARE COMPASSIONATE
Emotionally intelligent listeners with positive attitudes.

Serious cases need more than sympathy. They need facts, documentation, and expert insight.
- Visit and map the scene along Highway 90, River Road, or near 9 Mile Point
- Collect photos, video, and witness statements
- Secure police reports and complete medical records
- Work with expert witnesses, including accident reconstruction, medical, and vocational experts
- Prepare a detailed demand backed by solid proof of liability and damages
- Negotiate from strength, and when needed, file suit and present your case
Insurance companies often try to reduce payouts by blaming you or downplaying your injuries. We anticipate those tactics and back every claim with strong evidence. When your lawyer builds from facts, insurers take your case seriously.
The Settlement Process: From Consultation to Resolution
Most cases begin with a free consultation to review what happened and what you are facing. We then investigate, gather all records, and calculate both current and future needs. Once your medical treatment has stabilized, we send a full demand to the insurer. Many cases settle during this stage. If not, we are prepared to take your case to court and keep fighting for the result you deserve. Having a lawyer ready for trial often leads to better settlement offers long before a judge gets involved.
Stay Informed With Our Client Portal
Our client portal gives you 24/7 access to your case. You can see updates, send messages to your attorney or case manager, upload documents, and find answers to common questions. You will always know what is happening and what comes next.
Prices You Can Trust
At LJBLegal, cost should never stop you from getting help. We work on a contingency fee basis:
- No upfront costs. You do not pay anything to hire us.
- No fee unless we win. We only get paid if we recover money for you.
- No surprises. Our fee stays the same even if we go to court.
Will You Need To Sue?
Many cases settle without a lawsuit. Some settle after we file. A few go to trial. We start every case by gathering strong proof and seeking a fair result as soon as it makes sense. If court becomes the best path, you will want a team that is calm, ready, and experienced. LJBLegal prepares each case carefully so you are positioned for the best outcome, whether through negotiation or trial.
Why Hiring LJBLegal Helps You Avoid Being Underpaid
People without a lawyer often accept less than they deserve. Insurers control the process and pressure victims to settle quickly. With LJBLegal, you gain trusted guides who build the record, value your case accurately, and press for the full amount you deserve. You will feel heard, cared for, and supported from the first call.
