Art. 3493.10. Delictual actions; two-year prescription; criminal act
Delictual actions which arise due to damages sustained as a result of an act defined as a crime of violence under Chapter 1 of Title 14 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 are subject to a liberative prescription of two years. This prescription commences to run from the day injury or damage is sustained.
The Louisiana Code says 2 years but the trick with the statute of limitations is knowing when it begins to run. I'm guessing if you have a case then it must have happened on a specific date and ended on a specific date. With these matters, best to try to file as soon as possible if the time limit is running out... but best not to waste time filing if there really is no case. Good luck with whatever you do.
