New Orleans General Negligence Lawyers: Seeking Justice for Preventable Injuries

In Louisiana, everyone is expected to act reasonably to ensure the safety of themselves and others. When an individual or entity fails to uphold this basic standard of care, and their negligence causes another person to suffer injuries, the negligent party should be held accountable. If you have been harmed due to another party’s carelessness – whether it’s unmaintained property, bad driving beyond a typical car accident, or an uncontrolled animal – you have a right to seek compensation.

At the Law Office of John D. Sileo, our New Orleans general negligence attorneys have decades of experience aggressively protecting the rights of our clients throughout New Orleans and Southern Louisiana. We are committed to pursuing the full award you deserve for your injuries and losses.

General negligence accidents we handle include:

Slip-and-Fall Accidents: Injuries sustained on dangerous property conditions, such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting in stores, restaurants, or private residences.
Trip-and-Fall Accidents: Falls caused by unmaintained sidewalks, cracked pavement, or neglected stairs. Property owners and businesses are expected to keep their premises safe.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: Injuries caused by uncontrolled or aggressive pets. Animal owners are legally responsible for keeping their animals contained and preventing harm to others.
Inadequate Security: Injuries resulting from criminal acts on commercial or residential property where the owner failed to provide reasonable security measures despite known threats (e.g., poor lighting, broken locks, lack of security personnel).
Swimming Pool Accidents: Drowning or injuries due to poorly maintained pools, lack of supervision, or inadequate safety fencing.

Our experienced legal team will meticulously investigate your general negligence claim, gather essential evidence, and fight tirelessly to establish liability and secure the compensation you need for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
