Don’t Let Insurance Companies Decide Your Future — Call Rice & Kendig
Louisiana deadlines are strict. Evidence deteriorates. Witnesses disappear. The sooner you call, the stronger your case. Free consultation. No pressure — just honest advice about your path forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Seek medical care right away, even if you feel okay. Then, document the scene (photos, witness info, etc.) and avoid giving statements to the other driver’s insurance adjuster. They are not on your side and will try everything in their power to pay you as little as possible. Contact Rice & Kendig as soon as possible for legal guidance.
Louisiana recently extended its statute of limitations. For injuries occurring before July 1, 2024, you have one year to file. For injuries after this date, you have two years. However, acting quickly preserves evidence and strengthens your case.
Compensation varies by case but typically includes medical expenses (both current and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and loss of enjoyment of life. Severe injuries may warrant additional damages for permanent disability or disfigurement. We evaluate each case individually to pursue the maximum amount of money possible.
Louisiana follows a comparative fault system, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your share of fault, but you can still recover damages. We’ll work to minimize your liability and protect your claim.
Most cases resolve within 6–12 months, but serious or contested claims may take longer. Our team works efficiently — never rushing, always aiming for the maximum compensation you deserve.
