As a New Orleans Personal Injury Lawyer, I often deal with injured people that don't know what the next step is in dealing with an injury claim that occurs in New Orleans. We have a unique set of laws in Louisiana that are based upon the French Civil Code. In reality, our negligence laws are interpreted by the courts after comparing decisions from other cases, just as the other 49 state courts do.

Many New Orleans Personal Injury lawyers handle cases ranging from car accidents to 18 wheeler accidents and maritime cases. Do to New Orleans location and proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, Injury Lawyers have the opportunity to serve injured deckhands, engineers and other crew members of vessels that work the waters surrounding New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Most car accident and 18 Wheeler cases are initially filed in State c ourt, while Maritime cases can be filed in State or Federal Court. The initial decision of where to file any suit is a strategic decision that an injury lawyer should give some thoughtful consideration. Even without our own State, jury awards vary signifigantly for the same type of cases.
