Lafayette, Louisiana apersonal injury lawyer lawyer represented the Plaintiffs on premises liability theories.



n Louisiana, property owners are liable for injuries on their property if a plaintiff proves three things: a dangerous condition existed, the owner knew or should have known about it, and this condition caused the plaintiff's injury. The owner's failure to address the dangerous condition, which presented an "unreasonable risk of harm," makes them responsible for resulting damages like medical bills and lost wages.
