The Top Legal Changes and Trends in Personal Injury and Workers’ Compensation Cases
What's Changing in Personal Injury Law?
The legal landscape for injury claims is constantly evolving. From changes in legislation to new trends in the insurance industry, staying informed can make a huge difference when pursuing your claim.
Recent Changes in Louisiana's Personal Injury Laws
One key change in Louisiana’s personal injury law is the extension of the statute of limitations for car accident claims. For accidents occurring on or after of July 1, 2024, you now have two years to file a lawsuit for personal injury claims, up from just one year. While this may give you more time, it also means that you should not delay in seeking legal counsel.
The Impact of Insurance Adjuster Personality
When it comes to insurance claims, not all adjusters are created equal. Some adjusters are friendly and easy to work with, while others will fight you every step of the way. This can significantly impact the outcome of your claim. It’s important to understand that some cases take longer because of the nature of the adjuster’s approach, so patience is key.
Trends in Workers' Compensation Case Management
In workers’ compensation cases, more claims are being mediated rather than going to court. Mediation can lead to a quicker resolution and a fairer settlement, but it still requires significant preparation to ensure your case is heard properly. Workers’ compensation cases are becoming more complex, and hiring a knowledgeable attorney who can advocate on your behalf is more important than ever.
