Tangipahoa Parish FAQs
Crash on I-55 near Hammond-what should I do?
Seek medical attention immediately and document the scene if it is safe to do so. Exchange information, avoid detailed recorded statements to insurers before getting advice, and consult a lawyer promptly to protect evidence and deadlines. High-speed interstate crashes often involve disputed liability and multiple insurance carriers.
Can I get compensation if the other driver is uninsured?
You may still have options through uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy. A careful review of your coverage and the facts of the crash can determine whether compensation is available.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Louisiana?
For most personal injury incidents occurring on or after July 1, 2024, Louisiana law provides a two-year prescriptive period. For older incidents, the general deadline was one year. Because deadlines can vary based on specific facts, speaking with an injury attorney Tangipahoa Parish residents rely on as soon as possible helps protect your claim.
What compensation can I recover?
Depending on the case, you may recover medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering. Each claim is evaluated individually based on documentation and applicable Louisiana law.
