Injury cases we handle in Metairie
Metairie's busy roads and businesses produce thousands of accidents every year. We represent clients across the full range of injury claims, including:
18-wheeler and commercial truck accidents
Motorcycle accidents

Pedestrian injuries
Slip-and-fall and premises liability

Brain, neck, and back injuries
Whatever the cause of your injury, our approach is the same: prompt, personal attention and determined representation aimed at maximizing your recovery.
We know Metairie
Local knowledge matters in an injury case, and Metairie is home for us. We handle accidents throughout the area — Old Metairie, Bucktown, Fat City, the Lakeside area, and the neighborhoods in between, as well as the nearby communities of Harahan and River Ridge. We know the high-traffic corridors where serious crashes happen: Veterans Memorial Boulevard with its constant turning traffic and shopping-center entrances; Causeway Boulevard and the bridge approach; Clearview Parkway; Airline Drive; West Esplanade and Metairie Road; and Interstate 10 as it cuts through Metairie. That familiarity helps us anticipate problems and move your claim forward efficiently.
Metairie injury cases are handled in Jefferson Parish, through the 24th Judicial District Court in Gretna. We've practiced in this parish since 1980 — we know the local court, the local insurance adjusters, and how cases move here. That's something an out-of-town firm or a national advertising operation simply doesn't have.
Why injured people in Metairie choose Bono Law Firm
Big firms run on volume and treat clients like file numbers. We do the opposite. As a boutique father-son firm, we deliberately keep our caseload manageable so every client gets answered calls, honest guidance, and direct access to the attorney handling their case. We've represented more than 6,000 injured Louisianans since 1980, and we treat every client the way we'd want our own family treated.

Louisiana injury claims have strict deadlines
Louisiana law sets firm time limits (called prescriptive periods) for filing an injury claim, and missing the deadline can permanently end your right to compensation. For accidents on or after July 1, 2024, Louisiana generally allows two years to file an injury claim, up from the old one-year rule — but older accidents may still fall under the shorter deadline, and certain situations can complicate it. The clock can start running the day of your accident, and evidence — skid marks, surveillance footage, witness memories — disappears quickly. The single most important step you can take is to talk to a lawyer promptly so nothing is lost.
(This is general information, not legal advice. Deadlines vary by the type of claim and the facts — confirm yours with an attorney.)
What to do after an accident in Metairie
Get medical attention — even if you feel okay; some injuries surface later.
Report the accident — call the appropriate authority and get a report.
Document everything — photos of the scene, vehicles, and injuries; names and contact info of witnesses.
Don't give a recorded statement to the other party's insurer before speaking with a lawyer.
Call Bono Law Firm — we'll handle the insurance companies and the investigation so you can focus on getting well.
