Premises Liability Law in Louisiana
In Louisiana, property owners owe a “duty of care” to anyone who legally enters their property. If a property owner fails to meet this standard, they can be held liable for any damages caused by their property.
There are many ways that property owners may not meet the standard of care and negligently cause an injury or accident to occur. Slip and fall accidents are the most common, but here are some other examples of premises liability cases:
- Negligent security
- Building code violations
- Fire code violations
- Falling debris
- Poorly-maintained roads or public spaces
In order to prove that a property owner acted negligently, you should work with your premises liability lawyer to prove four things:
What to Do if You’re Injured on Someone Else’s Harahan Property
There are a few steps you need to take if you have an injury on someone else’s property in Harahan:
- The first thing you need to do is to request an employee get you medical attention if needed. Call 911 and secure an EMT to get you immediate medical attention.
- Gather your own evidence while you are at the scene of the injury and after you leave. Even if the property owner is gathering evidence, this does not mean you cannot gather your own. If you are able to, take your own photographs and video and get the identity and phone numbers of all available witnesses.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the property owner or their insurance company. You are not required to speak with them. In fact, in the days after a serious injury, it is possibly you are heavily medicated, so it does not make sense to give a recorded statement that can later be used against you.
- Do not accept an early settlement. In Louisiana, you have a year before you have to file a premises liability claim. There is no rush to settle your claim, especially before you know the nature and extent of your injuries.
- Hire an experienced Harahan premises liability attorney who can help you hold the property owner accountable and fight for your damages.
