Important Louisiana Deadlines
Louisiana now gives you two years to file most personal injury lawsuits, for injuries that happened on or after July 1, 2024. Injuries before that date are still subject to the old one-year deadline. Work injuries must be reported to your employer within 30 days. Missing a deadline can end your claim no matter how strong it is, so call early.
Personal injury lawsuits from Ouachita Parish are generally filed in the Fourth Judicial District Court at the Ouachita Parish Courthouse in Monroe. Workers' comp disputes are heard by the Office of Workers' Compensation. We handle both, so you do not need two different lawyers when a work injury happens on the road.
We also serve clients from our Ruston office.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Louisiana?
For most injuries that happened on or after July 1, 2024, Louisiana gives you two years to file a lawsuit. Injuries before that date still have the old one-year deadline. Workers' comp claims and claims against government agencies have their own rules, so talk to a lawyer early.
What if I was partly at fault for my injury?
Your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. For injuries on or after January 1, 2026, if you are found 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.
How much does it cost to hire Bruscato Law Firm?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, so we are paid only if we recover money for you. The consultation is free.
Will my case go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle without a trial. We prepare every case as if it might go to court, because insurers pay more when they know you are ready.
What should I bring to my first meeting?
Bring any police or incident report, photos, medical records or bills, insurance letters and the names of witnesses. If you do not have them, come anyway. We can get most of it for you.
