SB361

Louisiana SB361 limits general damages in delictual actions to $500,000, except for severe mental injuries or intentional/malicious acts.

Louisiana SB361 sets a cap on general damages in delictual actions at $500,000, except for cases involving permanent mental injuries that severely impair employment or living standards, which are capped at $1 million. The cap does not apply if the claimant has suffered a permanent and severe physical injury or if the tortfeasor's actions were intentional or malicious. This law aims to balance claimants' rights with defendants' liability.
