Legal Question in Personal Injury in Louisiana
battery
A guy suckered punched me outside
of my fraterntiy house last Oct. I
suffered a broken jaw, was wired
shut for 6 weeks, had to drop the
current semester, 1 tooth pulled and
2 screws put in, and incurred
$30,000 in medical expenses. He
was found guilty of the criminal suit
in March of this year. My question is
what is the general timeframe for the
resolution of the civil suit? Also
possible judgment ranges?

The general prescriptive period for personal injury lawsuits is one year from the date of the accident.
