MVA Leads in Louisiana
Louisiana firms do not lose cases because the law is complicated. They lose them because someone else’s phone rings first. We generate exclusive MVA leads in Louisiana for personal injury firms: real accident victims, screened against your case criteria, delivered the moment they raise their hand, and never sold to another firm.
Every lead is exclusive to one firm. When a Louisiana driver or passenger tells us about their accident, that conversation goes to your intake team and nowhere else. No shared lists, no recycled data, no bidding against three other firms for the same client.
This page explains how Louisiana leads work, how Louisiana law changes which leads are worth buying, how the screening runs, and how to judge any provider, including us, before you spend a dollar.
Louisiana accident law facts your intake should know
- Filing deadline: 2 years from the date of the accident for personal injury claims (La. Civ. Code art. 3493.1, enacted by Act 423 of 2024, effective for accidents on or after July 1, 2024). Accidents before that date remain under the old 1-year period, which is long expired for anything your intake sees today, so the working rule for new cases is 2 years.
- Fault system: At-fault (tort). The driver who caused the crash, and that driver’s liability insurer, are responsible for the other party’s injuries and damage. Louisiana does not require personal injury protection.
- Negligence rule: Louisiana changed its rule on January 1, 2026. For accidents on or after that date, modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar applies (Act 15 of 2025, amending La. Civ. Code art. 2323): a client recovers only if less than 51% at fault, reduced by their share of fault, and a client 51% or more at fault recovers nothing. Accidents before January 1, 2026 are still governed by the old pure comparative fault rule. Because our screening only accepts accidents within the last year, your intake will see both rules in play, and the accident date decides which one applies.
- Minimum insurance: Louisiana drivers must carry at least 15/30/25 liability coverage: $15,000 per injured person, $30,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage (La. Rev. Stat. section 32:900). Those are among the lowest minimums in the country, so insurance verification is part of every screen, and underinsured motorist coverage on your client’s own policy often decides whether a case is worth taking.
The three ways to buy Louisiana MVA leads
Raw web leads
Raw web leads are accident victims who asked for help online and have not been screened yet. They cost the least and take the most intake work. They fit firms with a strong intake team and the hours to work a list.
Qualified exclusive leads
Qualified exclusive leads are screened against your criteria before delivery: fault position, accident date, injuries, treatment, insurance, and no prior attorney. Your intake starts every call already knowing the case basics. This is what most Louisiana firms buy from us.
Live transfers
Live transfers put a screened caller on your line in real time. Our intake confirms the basics, then bridges the caller straight to your team while the accident and the need for help are still fresh. Live transfers convert at the highest rate of the three because there is no callback delay, and callback delay is where most lead value dies.
Pricing is set per state and market rather than published here, because a qualified lead in New Orleans does not cost what a qualified lead in a smaller Louisiana city costs. Tell us your markets and criteria and we will quote Louisiana pricing for your firm.
How every Louisiana case is screened
- Accident happened within the last year
- Fault position established, with the accident date checked against the January 1, 2026 rule change
- Injuries confirmed
- Treatment started, or a first appointment scheduled
- Insurance coverage verified, including the client’s own underinsured motorist position
- No prior attorney on the case
- Signed paperwork where the product calls for it
Clients can be English or Spanish speaking. If your firm only takes English speaking clients, or only certain injury types, or only accidents within the last six months instead of a year, say so. The screening runs on your criteria, not a national template.
What happens in the first five minutes decides what a lead is worth
The best lead in Louisiana is worth nothing if it sits in a queue for two days. Accident victims who ask for help talk to the first firm that reaches them like a professional, and they sign with the firm that treats the call like it matters. When your team works our leads, this is the sequence that signs cases:
- Speed first. Call within five minutes of delivery where you possibly can. After an hour, you are competing with every firm the victim found on Google while they waited.
- Confirm the screen. Fault, accident date, injuries, treatment, insurance. If anything contradicts what we delivered, note it. That is replacement protection territory, and it is how we keep the screening honest.
- Book the next step on the call. Consultation, records requests, treatment follow-up. A lead that ends with “we will be in touch” is a lead that signs somewhere else.
- Work the follow-up like a system. Texts and calls on a set cadence for the first week. Most signings do not happen on the first conversation.
The math that tells you if Louisiana leads are working
Forget cost per lead. The only number that matters is your cost per signed case, and you can work it out with your own figures:
- Take what you spent on leads in a month.
- Divide it by the number of cases those leads signed.
That is your cost per signed case. Compare it with your average fee on a settled Louisiana MVA case and the share of that fee your firm can spend on acquisition. If leads sign at a cost your fees comfortably cover, the channel works and the argument is over. If they do not, the fix is usually one of three things: the criteria are too loose, the intake follow-up is too slow, or the product is wrong for your team. Firms with a thin intake bench usually do better skipping leads entirely and buying signed retainers, which is why we sell both.
Mistakes Louisiana firms make when buying leads
Buying on price alone. The cheapest lead in Louisiana is usually cheap because it was sold four times, generated from a sweepstakes page, or screened by nobody. A lead that costs half as much and signs a quarter as often is the expensive lead.
Applying the wrong fault rule. Louisiana changed its negligence rule on January 1, 2026. A client 51% at fault on a post-2026 accident recovers nothing, while the same client on a pre-2026 accident recovers reduced. A provider that screens every Louisiana lead under one rule is getting half of them wrong. The accident date has to be checked on every file.
Forgetting the minimum limits problem. Louisiana’s minimums are among the lowest in the country. A not-at-fault client with a treated injury is still a weak case if the other driver carries only the state minimum and no assets, and your client carries no underinsured motorist coverage. Insurance verification has to check both sides of the crash, which is why it sits in our screen.
Slow follow-up. Most lead waste is not bad leads. It is good leads called once, two days late, by a firm that then blames the source.
No replacement terms in writing. If a provider will not put exclusivity and replacement terms in writing before you pay, you have learned the most important thing about that provider.
How to vet any Louisiana lead provider, including us
Ask these before you wire money:
- Are the leads exclusive to my firm, in writing?
- What exactly is screened before delivery, and can I set my own criteria?
- How is fault position confirmed, and does the screen apply the right rule for the accident date, given the January 1, 2026 change?
- Is insurance verified on both drivers, including the client’s underinsured motorist coverage?
- What happens when a lead fails my criteria? Is there replacement protection, and how many days do I get?
- Can Spanish speaking clients be delivered, and can I filter by language?
- How are leads delivered, and how fast after the accident victim asks for help?
A provider who answers all seven clearly is worth a test order. A provider who dodges two or more is telling you how the test order will go.
Louisiana markets we cover
New Orleans is the largest Louisiana market, with Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, Metairie, and Lake Charles as the other main cities, and we deliver statewide, including the smaller cities and parishes between them. New Orleans and Baton Rouge bring steadier volume. The smaller markets bring less competition for each accident victim’s attention. Many firms run a mix: metro volume for the team that can handle it, smaller markets for steady signings at a calmer pace. Tell us the parishes and metros you want covered and we will build to that map.

Pricing is set per state and per market, based on your case criteria and how many firms compete for accidents in the metros you choose. A large Louisiana metro does not price like a smaller Louisiana city. Tell us your markets and criteria and we will quote Louisiana pricing for your firm.
2 years from the date of the accident under La. Civ. Code art. 3493.1, for accidents on or after July 1, 2024. Accidents before that date were under the old 1-year period, which is long expired for anything your intake sees today. Our screening only accepts accidents within the last year.
Louisiana changed its negligence rule on January 1, 2026. For accidents on or after that date, modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar applies: a client recovers only if less than 51% at fault, and a client 51% or more at fault recovers nothing. Accidents before that date are still under the old pure comparative rule. We check the accident date on every lead so the right rule is applied to each file.
Yes. Every lead goes to one firm only. We do not sell the same accident victim to multiple firms, and we do not recycle old data.
