All too frequently, victims of personal  injury accidents wait too long before contacting a lawyer about their legal rights relating to their respective injury.  Generally speaking, under Louisiana law a person who suffers from a personal injury resulting from another's negligence has one year from the date of the alleged negligence within which to bring his/her personal injury claim.  There are, however, exceptions to the one year prescriptive period in some personal injury cases.  For instance, in medical malpractice cases, Louisiana has created an equitable rule with regard to personal injury claims arising out of medical malpractice which provides that a person has one year from the date of discovery of the injury - that is, one year from the date on which the injured person knew or should have known that they may have been a victim of medical malpractice.  But it is important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your potential  personal injury claim and that you do not rely on this exception to the one-year deadline, as it only applies in certain circumstances.
