Slip & Fall Injury Claims in Louisiana: Get the Compensation You Deserve

Such hazards are the responsibility of the property owner or manager to address. They are expected to remedy such hazards promptly or provide warnings to those who visit the premises until the unsafe condition can be repaired. Visitors can include patrons, clients, customers, and other invitees as well as service providers to the property, such as technical and trade repairmen, for example. 

What Types of Properties are Subject to Personal Injury Law?

All public and private premises are subject to premises liability law. 

These can include but are not limited to:

• Retail shops and stores

• Restaurants and bars
• Private homes and apartments
• Nursing homes and care facilities
