IF YOU THINK THAT MEDICAL MALPRACTICE IS NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM IN LOUISIANA, OR THAT IT WON’T HAPPEN TO YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES – YOU’RE PROBABLY WRONG.
Our mission at the Patient Rights Advocacy Forum is to fight for healthcare reform and to protect the rights of patients in Louisiana's flawed healthcare system.
We are dedicated to advocating for patients who have been harmed or killed by the multibillion-dollar healthcare industry, and we strive to hold healthcare providers and institutions accountable for their actions. Our goal is to create a fair and just healthcare system in Louisiana that prioritizes patient safety, ensures access to quality care, and puts the needs of patients first.
Louisiana's Medical Malpractice Laws Leave Victims Helpless. Here's Why...
RESTRICTIVE MALPRACTICE LAWS
Louisiana has the harshest, most restrictive medical malpractice laws in the United States.
CAPPED DAMAGE AWARDS
Louisiana’s medical malpractice law caps damages for hospitals, nursing homes, and medical providers at $100,000.
SHORTEST STATUE OF LIMITATIONS
Louisiana has a one year statute of limitations. This is the shortest and most restrictive in the nation.
POOR QUALITY HEALTHCARE
Have you experienced harm, injury, or loss due to the negligence or mistakes of healthcare providers?
Your story matters, and we want to hear it.
