Exceptions and details
Small claims divisions exist in city courts that create them by court rule (La. R.S. 13:5201); limit is $5,000 exclusive of interest, costs, attorney fees and penalties (R.S. 13:5202(A)). Justice of the peace courts also hear civil cases up to $5,000 (La. C.C.P. art. 4911, https://www.legis.la.gov/legis/LawPrint.aspx?d=112118). City Court of East St. Tammany small claims limit is tied to the JP-court amount. A 2026 bill to raise the JP limit to $10,000 (HB 1004) stalled in House Judiciary and was not enacted.
Louisiana calls this 'liberative prescription'. Acts 2024, No. 423 (HB 315) enacted the 2-year period (as art. 3493.11, redesignated 3493.1) and repealed the old 1-year period in former arts. 3492/3493, effective July 1, 2024. The Act applies prospectively only, to delictual actions arising after its July 1, 2024 effective date; injuries before then remain subject to the former 1-year period.
LSBA does not operate a statewide lawyer referral service; this LSBA page points to local bar referral services (as of 2026-09-25 it lists only the Lafayette Bar Association).
