Car Accidents claims in Alexandria

Bolton Avenue, Jackson Street, and Masonic Drive take the local traffic while everything passing through stays on the highway. That mix is the problem. Somebody who drives these streets daily and somebody who has never seen them meet at the same light. A driver passing through Rapides Parish may carry insurance from a company three states away, and the adjuster assigned to your claim may have to look up where the crash happened before returning your call. None of that changes the rules. Louisiana divides fault by percentage no matter whose insurer answers the phone. Every point they move onto you comes off the money. Say less to them and more to the attorney you pick.
How fault gets decided can end a car accident case in Alexandria before it starts. Louisiana's rule: Pure comparative negligence (civil-law 'delictual' actions). You have 2 years to file. Rear-end, intersection, and highway collisions — the most common case we help with.

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.
