Practice Slip and Fall

Slip and fall.

Slip-and-fall cases are harder than they look. Louisiana's premises-liability statute requires proof of the property owner's notice, the unreasonable risk, and the failure to correct it. We know how to build that proof fast, before the evidence is gone.

Common Causes

How these cases happen.

Grocery & Retail Spills

Liquid spills, produce, and tracked-in rain in stores throughout the New Orleans area.

Restaurant & Bar Floors

Greasy kitchens, wet bar floors, and unsafe entryways.

Parking Lots & Sidewalks

Potholes, unsecured curbs, and inadequate lighting in commercial lots.

Staircase Failures

Broken handrails, uneven risers, and code violations on stairs.

Hotel & Resort

French Quarter and Gulf Coast properties owe guests a high duty of care.

Negligent Security

Foreseeable third-party crime on poorly secured property is its own category of premises claim.

What You May Recover

Damages in Louisiana.

Louisiana law allows injured victims to recover compensation for the full impact of someone else's negligence. We pursue every category of damages your case supports.

  • Hospital, surgical, and rehabilitation costs

  • Future medical care for chronic injuries

  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering

  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

  • Loss of consortium for spouse and family

How We Build Your Case

Methodical. Relentless.

01

Lock Down Evidence

Spoliation letters for surveillance video, sweep logs, and incident reports before they disappear.

02

Prove Notice

We establish the owner knew, or should have known, of the hazardous condition.

03

Document Injury

Coordinate with your treating physicians to fully document the harm and prognosis.

04

Demand & Resolve

Pursue full compensation from the property owner's insurance carrier and try the case if needed.
