Navigating medical malpractice claims in Louisiana
What counts as medical malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a provider’s actions fall below accepted medical standards and cause injury. This can include surgery errors, failure to diagnose, anesthesia mistakes, or hospital-acquired infections.
Louisiana’s medical malpractice laws
Before filing a lawsuit, most claims must go before a state Medical Review Panel. Louisiana also limits general damages to $500,000, not counting future medical expenses. We handle all filings and deadlines so you can focus on recovery.
How we build medical negligence cases
We work with top medical experts to review your records, reconstruct what happened, and explain how the provider’s choices caused harm. Our firm’s experience as a former Louisiana Assistant Attorney General means we understand how to challenge large hospitals and their insurers.

Common questions about medical malpractice claims
How do I know if I have a case?
Not every bad outcome is malpractice. We review your records and consult experts to determine if the provider’s negligence caused your injury.
Is there a cap on malpractice damages in Louisiana?
Yes. Louisiana limits general damages to $500,000, though future medical costs are separate and uncapped.
What is a Medical Review Panel?
A panel of doctors reviews your case before a lawsuit can be filed. Their opinion isn’t final, but it’s required.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Generally one year from the incident or discovery of the malpractice. Quick action helps preserve your right to recover.
