Personal Injury & Auto Accidents

Louisiana law allows accident and injury victims to recover compensation for their medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and other legal damages when they are harmed by the negligence of another. But the burden lies with you to bring your case and prove that the other party was negligent and caused your injury and damages. Their insurance company will fight back by offering unrealistic, low settlements or reducing their liability by claiming your own negligence caused or contributed to your injury. We know all the insurance company tricks and tactics, and we won’t stand for them. Our New Orleans personal injury lawyers are willing to go to court when necessary to get the most for our clients. We aren’t just here to pick up a quick check and move on to the next case. You can count on us to see you get appropriate medical care and the full amount of compensation that is coming to you. Call the Palazzo Law Firm after any personal injury in New Orleans, including:

  • Car Wrecks
  • Truck Crashes
  • Motorcycle Accidents
  • Premises Liability
  • Construction Accidents
  • Maritime Accidents
  • Brain Injuries
  • Wrongful Death

Medical Malpractice

Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals are held to a certain standard of care and competence, and when their negligence or other failures fall below that standard, they can and should be held liable for the harm they have caused. With decades of experience in New Orleans medical malpractice claims, our skilled and knowledgeable trial attorneys will be thoroughly prepared for the medical review panel and ready to take your case to the next level. Call the Palazzo Law Firm after any form of medical mistake has caused you injury, including:

  • Birth Injuries
  • Surgical Errors
  • Medication Errors
  • Misdiagnosis Errors
  • Emergency Room Errors
  • Sepsis: resulting in death, kidney failure, organ failure, or lost limbs

New Orleans, a vibrant city known for its rich culture, history, and lively festivals, unfortunately also sees its fair share of accidents and injuries. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor, it's crucial to be aware of the common types of accidents that occur in the city and the typical injuries they cause. The Palazzo Law Firm is here to provide experienced legal assistance if you find yourself a victim of an accident in New Orleans.

Common Types of Accidents in New Orleans

  • Car Accidents: New Orleans has busy streets and highways, which can lead to frequent car accidents. Distracted driving, speeding, and driving under the influence are common causes. Major thoroughfares such as Interstate 10 and Canal Street are notorious for collisions.
  • Pedestrian Accidents: With its bustling sidewalks and tourist-heavy areas, pedestrian accidents are sadly common in New Orleans. The French Quarter and Bourbon Street, in particular, see a high number of these incidents, often caused by negligent drivers not yielding to pedestrians.
  • Bicycle Accidents: Bicycling is a popular mode of transportation in New Orleans. However, cyclists are at risk of being hit by vehicles, especially in areas without designated bike lanes. St. Charles Avenue and Esplanade Avenue are known hotspots for bicycle accidents.
  • Slip & Fall Accidents: The historic architecture and uneven sidewalks in New Orleans can be beautiful but hazardous. Slip and fall accidents frequently occur in public places, restaurants, and hotels, particularly in the French Quarter and along the Mississippi Riverfront.
  • Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists in New Orleans face risks from other drivers who may not be as attentive as they should be. High traffic areas like the Pontchartrain Expressway are common locations for motorcycle accidents.
  • Workplace Accidents: Workplace accidents are prevalent in industries such as construction and maritime work. The Port of New Orleans and various construction sites around the city are common locations for these types of injuries.

Common Injuries Resulting from Accidents

  • Whiplash & Neck Injuries: Often resulting from car accidents, whiplash can cause severe pain and mobility issues.
  • Broken Bones: Falls, car crashes, and workplace accidents frequently result in fractures and broken bones, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
  • Head & Brain Injuries: Concussions and traumatic brain injuries are serious consequences of accidents, especially those involving high impacts, such as car crashes or falls from significant heights.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Injuries to the spinal cord can lead to partial or complete paralysis and have lifelong implications.
  • Cuts & Lacerations: Accidents often result in deep cuts or lacerations, leading to significant blood loss and the risk of infection.
  • Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma from accidents can cause internal bleeding and damage to organs, necessitating immediate medical intervention.

Serving New Orleans & Beyond

  • French Quarter: The heart of New Orleans, the French Quarter is famous for its historic architecture, vibrant nightlife, and iconic Bourbon Street. It’s a hub of entertainment, dining, and cultural experiences, drawing both tourists and locals alike.
  • Garden District: Known for its stunning mansions and lush gardens, the Garden District is a picturesque area that combines historic charm with modern amenities. Magazine Street, with its eclectic mix of shops, cafes, and restaurants, is a popular destination within this neighborhood.
  • Marigny: Adjacent to the French Quarter, Marigny is a trendy, bohemian neighborhood known for its music scene. Frenchmen Street, in particular, is a hotspot for live jazz and blues, offering a more local and authentic experience compared to the tourist-heavy Bourbon Street.
  • Uptown: Uptown New Orleans is a residential area with tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s home to Tulane University and Loyola University, as well as the famous Audubon Park and Zoo.
  • Bywater: Bywater is an artistic and creative enclave with colorful houses, vibrant murals, and a laid-back vibe. It’s a great place to explore unique shops, galleries, and local eateries.
  • Treme: One of the oldest neighborhoods in New Orleans, Treme is steeped in African-American history and culture. It’s known for its historic landmarks, jazz music, and cultural institutions like the Treme Cultural Center and Louis Armstrong Park.
  • Mid-City: Mid-City offers a mix of residential and commercial areas, with City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art being major attractions. The neighborhood is known for its local festivals, such as the Bayou Boogaloo.
  • Algiers Point: Located across the Mississippi River from the French Quarter, Algiers Point is a charming, historic neighborhood with beautiful views of the city skyline. It’s known for its quaint streets, local bars, and ferry service to downtown New Orleans.
  • Metairie: Just west of New Orleans, Metairie is a suburban area known for its family-friendly environment, shopping centers, and restaurants. Lakeside Shopping Center and Clearview Mall are major retail destinations in Metairie.
  • Kenner: Located near the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, Kenner offers a mix of residential and commercial areas. The Rivertown Historic District and the Treasure Chest Casino are notable attractions.
  • Slidell: Situated across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, Slidell is known for its scenic waterfront, bayous, and outdoor recreational opportunities. It’s a popular spot for fishing, boating, and enjoying nature.
  • Covington: Located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Covington is a charming city with a historic downtown area filled with boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants. It’s known for its cultural events and scenic beauty.
  • Mandeville: Also on the north shore, Mandeville offers beautiful lakefront views and a relaxed atmosphere. The Tammany Trace, a 31-mile long biking and walking trail, is a popular attraction in Mandeville.
  • Gretna: Directly across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, Gretna is a historic city with a small-town feel. It’s known for its annual Heritage Festival and the Gretna Green Blacksmith Shop.
