Personal Injury
You may not be sure if your accident fits within the type of cases handled by New Orleans personal injury lawyers. In New Orleans, LA, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, and the rest of the state, personal injury cases can arise from various accidents and injuries. Some of the most common types of accidents are:
Collisions involving cars, trucks, bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, or pedestrians can result in serious injuries. If you’re hurt in an accident, you are likely dealing with other losses, such as property damage, missed wages, and high medical bills. Any type of auto accident can be a cause for a claim. Our New Orleans Personal injury attorneys will be able to tell you for sure whether your recent car accident is suitable for an injury claim.
Car crashes are not only the reason a person may be sidelined and dealing with lost income. Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe premises. Slip and fall accidents due to negligent maintenance, wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate warnings can lead to injury claims.
If you have suffered injuries and emotional distress due to a healthcare provider's action or inaction, you may have a case. Personal injury attorneys are able to move cases forward that involve negligence or substandard care by healthcare professionals resulting in injury or worsening health conditions.
Personal injury attorneys can also help you with injuries caused by defective or dangerous products. Defective products can lead to claims against manufacturers, distributors, or sellers.
Injuries sustained while on the job due to unsafe working conditions, lack of proper training, or employer negligence can either warrant a workers' compensation claim or, in some cases, a personal injury lawsuit. Our legal team will gather evidence to see which fits best to your unique situation.
Pet owners are typically liable for injuries caused by their dogs if they were negligent in preventing the attack. Under La. C.C. Art. 2321, the owner of an animal is answerable for the damage caused by the animal. In Louisiana, a dog owner can be held responsible for your medical expenses, as well as any non-economic damages, like pain and suffering, mental anguish, and PTSD from being attacked by a dog.
Injuries resulting from intentional harm or assault by another person can also lead to claims in court, as well as insurance claims depending on where the assault happened. Business owners have a general duty to maintain a safe environment for its guests. For example, a New Orleans hotel may be held liable for negligent security if it failed to have adequate lighting, or lacked security personnel that led to the increase of violent crimes against its guests.
New Orleans sees maritime accident cases, including those who work on ships injured on the job and passengers injured on a trip or vacation. These cases fall under specific maritime laws and regulations, like the Jones Act or general maritime law, and typically involve accidents occurring on navigable waters. They often address negligence claims against vessel owners, employers, or third parties, seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, under a specialized legal framework distinct from typical land-based personal injury claims.
