How many burn injury attorneys are listed in New Orleans, Louisiana?

How long do I have to file a burn injury lawsuit in Louisiana?

The Louisiana statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 2 years (La. Civ. Code art. 3493.1). Claims against a government body usually run on a much shorter separate notice deadline. Missing either one generally ends the claim regardless of its merits, so the filing date matters more than almost any other early decision.
