Serving the New Orleans area and Jefferson Parish. No Fees Unless We Win.
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.
With offices in Metairie and Harahan, Macaluso Law, LLC serves people injured in slip and fall accidents throughout the New Orleans area and Jefferson Parish.
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 Jefferson Parish and across the New Orleans area, these incidents are 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 Metairie, Harahan, New Orleans and Jefferson Parish.
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 has strict deadlines for filing injury claims. In many cases, the prescriptive period is two years for injuries occurring on or after July 1, 2024, while earlier incidents may follow a shorter deadline. Acting quickly also helps preserve evidence like incident reports and video footage.
Don’t wait. If you fell and got hurt on unsafe property in Metairie, Harahan, and throughout Jefferson Parish, call us today. The sooner we start working, the stronger your case will be.
Property owners and businesses must take reasonable steps to keep their premises safe. A claim often depends on proving a dangerous condition existed (like a spill, uneven flooring, or poor lighting) and that the property owner knew or should have known about it and failed to fix it or warn visitors.
Evidence can disappear quickly. If possible, document the hazard with photos, get names of witnesses, request an incident report, and seek medical attention. Surveillance footage and maintenance logs are often critical and should be preserved early.
Insurers often try to shift blame to reduce payouts. Even if they argue you were distracted or should have seen the hazard, you may still have a claim depending on the facts. A strong case focuses on the condition, how long it existed, and what the property owner did (or didn’t do) to address it.
