Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice claim in Gretna?
In Louisiana, you generally have one year from the date of the alleged malpractice to file a claim. This deadline can be extended in limited circumstances, such as when the injury was not immediately discovered. You must also first submit your claim to a medical review panel before filing a lawsuit.
What types of damages can I recover in a Louisiana medical malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost wages. Non-economic damages for pain and suffering are capped at $100,000 per provider and $500,000 total per case. Punitive damages are not available in most medical malpractice cases in Louisiana.
Do I need to go through a medical review panel before suing in Louisiana?
Yes, Louisiana law requires that most medical malpractice claims be reviewed by a medical review panel before a lawsuit can be filed in court. The panel reviews the evidence and issues an opinion on whether the standard of care was breached. This process can take several months.
