Personal Injury Practice Areas in Greater New Orleans
Bono Law Firm represents injured clients across Greater New Orleans in serious accident and injury cases. Below are the main types of claims we handle. If you don't see your exact situation, call us for a free consultation — chances are we can help.
Car Accidents
A crash can turn your life upside down — medical bills, lost work, and an insurer that isn't on your side. We've handled claims for injured drivers and passengers across New Orleans since 1980, from start to finish.
Learn moreDrunk Driving Accidents
When a drunk driver hurts you, Louisiana law can allow more than an ordinary claim — including punitive damages meant to punish the driver. We hold impaired drivers accountable and pursue every source of recovery.
Learn moreWhiplash & Soft-Tissue Injuries
A low-speed or "minor" crash can still cause whiplash, neck and back strain, and soft-tissue injuries that don't surface for days. Insurers are quick to call these claims minor — we're not, and we handle them with the same care as any other injury.
Learn moreTruck & 18-Wheeler Accidents
Crashes with commercial trucks cause devastating injuries, and trucking companies start building their defense immediately. We move fast to preserve driver logs, maintenance records, and electronic data before they disappear.
Learn moreMotorcycle Accidents
When a car hits a motorcycle, the rider pays the price — and faces an unfair assumption that they were reckless. We push back on that bias, prove what really happened, and fight for the full cost of serious injuries.
Learn moreSlip & Fall / Premises Liability
A fall in a store, restaurant, or apartment complex can cause serious injury — but Louisiana law puts a real burden on you to prove the owner was at fault. We move quickly to preserve the evidence these cases turn on.
Learn moreWrongful Death
When negligence takes a loved one, prompt investigation protects your family's rights and preserves evidence. We handle wrongful death claims with care, pursuing the full measure of your family's loss.
Learn morePedestrian Accidents
A person struck while walking, jogging, or standing near a roadway can suffer life-altering injuries. We help injured pedestrians and their families take on the insurance companies and recover what they're owed.
Learn moreDog Bites & Animal Attacks
Louisiana holds dog owners strictly liable when their dog injures someone who didn't provoke it — and homeowner's insurance usually covers it. We represent adults and children hurt in attacks across Greater New Orleans.
Learn moreChildren's Injuries
When a child is hurt by unsafe conditions or another's negligence, families need answers fast. We represent parents in serious child injury cases involving schools, daycares, playgrounds, and other unsafe settings.
Learn moreBrain, Neck & Back Injuries
Injuries to the brain, neck, and back are among the most serious and most disputed in any case. We know how to prove the damage insurers try to minimize — and the long-term toll it takes on your life and work.
Learn moreUninsured / Underinsured Motorist
Many Louisiana drivers carry little or no insurance. When the at-fault driver can't cover your injuries, your own UM/UIM policy may be the key — and we review every available policy to find the coverage you're owed.
Learn moreHit-and-Run Accidents
Hit by a driver who fled the scene? Even when they're never found, you may still recover through your own uninsured motorist coverage. We handle the entire claim so you don't face it alone.
Learn moreRideshare (Uber & Lyft) Accidents
A crash in an Uber or Lyft raises a question an ordinary wreck doesn't: whose insurance pays? We sort out the coverage — including the rideshare company's million-dollar policy — and pursue the full value of your claim.
Learn moreE-Bike & Scooter Accidents
E-bikes and scooters are everywhere in New Orleans, and crashes raise insurance questions a car wreck doesn't. We help injured riders find every policy that applies and hold the right parties responsible.
Learn moreBicycle Accidents
Cyclists have little protection when struck by a vehicle or thrown onto the pavement. We help injured riders prove what happened, push back against unfair blame, preserve critical evidence, and identify every insurance policy that may apply.
Learn moreFood Poisoning & Foreign Object Cases
Sick from a restaurant or grocery-store meal, or bit into glass, metal, or bone? These cases can mean real dental, mouth, and illness injuries. Save the food, the object, and your receipt, see a doctor or dentist, and call us — we'll give you an honest read.
Learn moreTrampoline & Adventure Park Injuries
Hurt at a trampoline or adventure park — on the trampolines, in a foam pit, on a slide or climbing wall? In Louisiana, the waiver you signed at the door often doesn't bar your claim. We know these parks from the inside and handle injuries across Southeast Louisiana.
Learn moreAmusement Park, Carnival & Fair Ride Injuries
Thrown from a ride, hurt by a failed restraint, or injured at a carnival, fair, or festival? Louisiana rides must be inspected, registered, and insured — and a traveling carnival is often packing up to leave. We move fast to preserve the evidence and find the coverage.
Learn moreDaycare & Camp Injuries
Was your child hurt at a daycare, summer camp, after-school program, or recreational facility? When a child is injured because no one was watching or a hazard was ignored, families deserve answers. We know the supervision and staffing rules these places must follow.
