Car Accidents claims in Kenner

Airline Drive runs the length of Kenner as US-61, light after light after light. Rear-end collisions dominate a road built like that, and so do the arguments afterward about who stopped short. Then there is the Loyola interchange, where traffic coming down off I-10 meets surface traffic that is already stopped and has nowhere at all to go. Insurers treat all of it as a percentage fight. Pure comparative fault means a driver who was partly at fault still recovers something, which is exactly why the adjuster's questions are built to grow your share rather than to close the file. Answer them anyway. Just answer them with what you know and nothing more. Guesswork is expensive here.
How fault gets decided can end a car accident case in Kenner 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 Kenner?

Kenner Police work crashes on city streets. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated parts of the parish and Louisiana State Police often handles I-10, so a wreck on an interstate ramp and one on Williams Boulevard a block away can sit with two different agencies. Check what the officer gave you. The agency name is on it.

Which court would handle my injury case in Kenner?

The 24th Judicial District Court, for Jefferson Parish. The courthouse is in Gretna, over on the west bank, so a Kenner crash means crossing the river for anything that needs you there in person — worth knowing before you agree to work with anyone. Cross into Orleans Parish and it's a different court entirely. We're not a law firm.

Does it matter that I was hurt on airport property?

It might. The airport is in Kenner but it's owned by the City of New Orleans, so a claim tied to the property itself can involve a public body and a different set of notice rules than a plain two-car wreck on Williams Boulevard. If a shuttle, a rental company, or a commercial vehicle was involved, say so early. It changes who an attorney looks at.

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.
