A slip and fall can change your life in an instant. One wrong step, on a wet floor, a loose stair, or a poorly lit walkway and you’re left with painful injuries, missed work, and unexpected medical bills. At Macaluso Law, LLC, we help people in Metairie and the surrounding areas recover physically and financially after serious fall-related accidents.
If you slipped and were hurt on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation. Property owners have a legal duty to keep their spaces safe. When they fail to do so, we’re here to hold them accountable and help you move forward.
Slip and fall injuries fall under what’s known as premises liability law. In Louisiana, property owners whether private businesses, homeowners, or landlords, are required to maintain safe conditions for people who visit their premises. That includes cleaning spills, fixing hazards, and warning guests about unsafe areas.
If the owner knew (or should have known) about a dangerous condition and didn’t fix it in a timely manner, they can be held liable for the harm it caused. That’s where we step in.
While these accidents can occur anywhere, some of the most common locations include:
Grocery stores and shopping centers
Restaurants and cafes
Apartment complexes and rental homes
Hotels, motels, and resorts
Parking lots and sidewalks
Government buildings or public spaces
In a place like Metairie, where foot traffic in local businesses and commercial areas is high, these incidents are far too common and often preventable.

Many people blame themselves after falling, or assume they don’t have a case. But in many situations, property owners are legally responsible and insurance companies won’t tell you that.
Our team at Macaluso Law, LLC has years of experience representing injured victims across Louisiana, including right here in Metairie. We understand local laws, court procedures, and how to investigate fall-related accidents. We’ll gather the evidence, document your injuries, and handle the insurance companies so you don’t have to.
You deserve someone who will fight for your best interests and not back down when things get tough.
If you’ve been injured in a fall caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be able to recover compensation for:
Emergency room and hospital bills
Ongoing physical therapy or medical care
Lost income and loss of future earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional trauma and anxiety
Disability or permanent injury
Every case is different, and we take the time to understand how your accident has affected your life so we can pursue the maximum compensation available under Louisiana law.
Louisiana law gives you only one year from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. That’s a short window and the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prove your case. Businesses may clean up the scene or erase video footage.
