Personal Injury Lawyer in New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans is a city where the streets themselves can be a hazard. Between potholes deep enough to swallow a tire, streetcar tracks that catch bicycle wheels and motorcycle tires, and a drainage system that floods intersections during routine afternoon storms, the infrastructure creates accident conditions that don't exist in most American cities.

Add 19 million tourists per year, one of the most active rideshare markets in the South, and a driving culture that — to put it diplomatically — treats traffic signals as suggestions, and you have one of the most dangerous cities for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists in the country. New Orleans consistently ranks in the top 10 for auto accident rates and pedestrian fatalities nationally.

The corridors that produce the most serious injury cases include I-10 through the city (particularly the Highrise and the I-10/I-610 interchange), Claiborne Avenue, Broad Street, Gentilly Boulevard, and Chef Menteur Highway. Pedestrian accidents concentrate in the CBD, the French Quarter, and along Magazine Street. Bicycle accidents cluster on Esplanade Avenue, St. Charles Avenue, and the growing network of bike lanes in Mid-City and the Marigny.
