Frequently Asked Questions
Founded in 1998 by Thomas Corrington, The Corrington Law Firm has represented thousands of clients in car accident, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases throughout Louisiana.
What is Louisiana's deadline for filing personal injury claims?
Louisiana has a one-year statute of limitations from the date of the accident or injury. Acting quickly is essential to protect your right to compensation, so contact our office as soon as possible.
Do you handle medical malpractice cases?
Yes. We handle medical malpractice claims throughout Louisiana. We navigate the medical review panel process and work with medical experts to build strong, well-supported cases.
How does Louisiana's comparative fault rule affect my case?
Louisiana reduces compensation based on your percentage of fault. Even if you are partially at fault, you can still recover damages for the other party's negligence.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Seek medical attention first, document everything, avoid speaking with insurance adjusters, and contact our office promptly to protect your rights under Louisiana's strict deadlines.
Do you provide free consultations?
Yes. We offer free case evaluations. Call (504) 895-3431 to discuss your personal injury or medical malpractice claim directly with Attorney Thomas Corrington.
What types of damages can I recover?
Louisiana allows recovery for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. In wrongful death cases, families may also recover funeral costs and loss of consortium.
How long do personal injury cases take?
Each case varies depending on its complexity and the severity of the injuries. We keep you informed throughout the process and work efficiently toward the best possible resolution.
Do I need to go through Louisiana's medical review panel?
Yes. Louisiana requires that medical malpractice claims be reviewed by a panel of healthcare providers and an attorney before proceeding to court. We handle this process for you.
What areas do you serve?
We serve New Orleans and communities throughout the greater metro area and Louisiana. Our local knowledge of Louisiana's personal injury laws gives our clients a significant advantage.
How do you charge for legal services?
We work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, which means you pay nothing unless we secure compensation for you.
