FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Louisiana?
Louisiana law generally allows only one year from the date of the crash to file a car accident lawsuit. Because this deadline is short, contact an attorney quickly so important evidence can be preserved and your claim filed on time.
What should I do after a car accident in New Orleans?
If you can, call the police, seek medical attention, photograph the scene and vehicles, exchange information, and avoid giving recorded statements to the other driver's insurer. Then contact a car accident attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
Can I still recover money if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Louisiana uses pure comparative fault, so you can recover damages even if you share some of the blame. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, and we work to keep that percentage as low as possible.
How much does a car accident lawyer cost?
Corrington Law works on a contingency fee, so you pay nothing up front and owe no fee unless we recover compensation for you. Your first consultation is free.
