Under Louisiana law, people who’ve been hurt through negligent or reckless behavior by others have a right to pursue damages. If you were injured as a pedestrian in New Orleans, you may be able to collect damages related to your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, future medical costs, and other losses you may have suffered.
Our city’s streets are crowded during the day and long into the nighttime hours, and the number of tourists driving on unfamiliar streets can lead to dangerous distracted driving. Drunk drivers are also a significant threat to pedestrians, who can suffer extensive injuries if struck by motorists, streetcars, or through other accidents. Pedestrians are at higher risk of suffering head injuries, internal injuries, broken bones, and soft tissue injuries, all of which can cause permanent pain and disability.
When you’ve been injured by someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to be made whole again. At The Gertler Law Firm, we specialize in helping people who’ve suffered losses regain as much as they can, as quickly as they can.
