People use the words "law" and "legislation" almost interchangeably, but in everyday speech they point to different things. In ordinary speech, "law" is the broad word for any binding rule a government can enforce, and "legislation" is the everyday name for one kind of law, the rules an elected body writes and passes.
This section collects the statutes, doctrines and legislative changes that shape a Louisiana or Texas injury case: the filing deadlines, the rules for suing a government body or an insurer directly, the presumptions courts apply, and recent reforms. Each page explains one rule and where it comes up in a real claim.
