Pricing & attorney fees in Baton Rouge

Personal injury representation in Baton Rouge is almost always handled on a contingency fee — you pay nothing unless your attorney recovers compensation.

Initial consultation: Free
Contingency fee: typically 33⅓% pre-suit, 40% if litigation is filed

Always request a written fee agreement before signing. LA bar rules require fee transparency.

LA statute of limitations

Most LA personal injury claims must be filed within a strict window — often 2 to 3 years from the date of injury. Government and medical-malpractice claims can have shorter deadlines. Speaking with a Baton Rouge attorney early preserves your right to recover.
