Frequently Asked Questions
About Personal Injury Cases in Mansfield
First, seek medical attention — your health comes first. Then document everything possible about the accident and your injuries. Keep all medical records and bills. Most importantly, call Rice & Kendig at (318)222-2772 before speaking with insurance companies or accepting any offers.
You may be eligible for three main types of compensation. Economic damages cover tangible losses like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages compensate for intangible impacts such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life. In cases of extreme negligence, punitive damages may be awarded to punish wrongdoers and prevent future misconduct.
In Louisiana, you have two (2) years from the date of injury to file your claim. However, certain circumstances may affect this timeline. Government claims often have shorter deadlines, while cases involving minors or hidden injuries might have extended deadlines. Don't risk missing your chance at compensation - contact us immediately to protect your rights.
Louisiana follows a modified comparative fault system under Civil Code Article 2323. As of January 1, 2026, if you are found to be 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any damages. If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Every case is unique, but we work efficiently while ensuring we pursue maximum compensation. Some cases settle in months, while others may take longer if litigation is necessary. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and fight for the best possible outcome.
