QUESTION
Can I still sue after 2 months from when the incident happened?
Asked on Jun 09th, 2014 on Personal Injury - Louisiana
More details to this question:
I was washing out my skirt in the sink at a motel, when the sink fell on my big toe. I had to get 5 stitches, but I didn't tell them I was suing them. Can I still sue them for pain and suffering and have them be responsible for the bills that I cannot pay for?

In Louisiana, most personal injury actions prescribe after 1 year from the date of the incident. Therefore, you still have time. However, you should still speak to an attorney soon to have your case evaluated.
