Accidents in and around Alexandria

Alexandria sits about in the middle of Louisiana. That's why I-49 comes through, why US-71 and US-165 meet around town on MacArthur Drive, and why a good share of the traffic beside you is only passing between Shreveport and Lafayette — which also means the driver who hit you may live hours away. Pineville is across the Red River. Same parish, different police department. A suit goes to the 9th Judicial District Court in Rapides Parish. Two years to file, as of July 1, 2024, up from one year before that date. The policy that covers your wreck may be handled from another city entirely. That changes the pace of the phone calls, not the deadline.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Alexandria?

Alexandria Police handle crashes inside the city, Pineville Police handle the other side of the river, the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office covers the parish, and Louisiana State Police often works I-49 — four agencies inside one parish, which is why the first useful thing you can do is read the paper the officer handed you and find the agency name on it. Reports generally take a few days.

Which court would handle my injury case in Alexandria?

The 9th Judicial District Court, for Rapides Parish. A wreck in Alexandria, Pineville, Ball, or Woodworth generally goes to the same district court even though each town runs its own police, because in Louisiana the parish sets the court and the municipality doesn't. We're not a law firm. An attorney decides where a suit gets filed.

I was hit on I-49 passing through. Does it matter that I don't live here?

Not for the deadline, and not for the court. A crash in Rapides Parish is generally a Rapides Parish matter no matter where your license was issued, which is why someone hurt here while driving through usually needs an attorney licensed in Louisiana rather than the one back home. We'll connect you with one. Free, and no obligation to hire anybody.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Louisiana?

In Louisiana, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. 'Prescriptive period' 2 years as of 2024-07-01 (was 1 year — a major recent change). Uses civil-law terminology. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
