Why Injured New Orleanians 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.

  • Talk directly to an attorney — John or Michael Bono, not a paralegal.

  • We come to you — at home or in the hospital, anywhere in the New Orleans area.

  • No fee unless we win — no upfront costs; we're paid only if we recover for you.

  • Se habla Español — we serve New Orleans's diverse community in English and Spanish.

  • Decades of local experience — we know Louisiana injury law and the New Orleans courts.

We Know New Orleans

Local knowledge matters in an injury case. We handle accidents throughout the city — the Central Business District, Uptown, Mid-City, the French Quarter, Marigny, Bywater, Gentilly, Lakeview, New Orleans East, and Algiers on the Westbank. We're familiar with the high-risk corridors where serious crashes happen, from the I-10/I-610 split and the Crescent City Connection to Claiborne, Canal, and Tulane Avenue. Personal injury lawsuits in the city are filed in Orleans Parish, and we know how cases move through the local court system. That familiarity helps us anticipate problems and move your claim forward efficiently.

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. 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. Contact Bono Law Firm as soon as possible after your accident, and we'll explain the deadlines that apply to your specific situation.

(Note: 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 New Orleans

  1. Get medical attention — even if you feel okay; some injuries surface later.

  2. Report the accident — call NOPD or the appropriate authority and get a report.

  3. Document everything — photos of the scene, vehicles, and injuries; names and contact info of witnesses.

  4. Don't give a recorded statement to the other party's insurer before speaking with a lawyer.

  5. Call Bono Law Firm — we'll handle the insurance companies and the investigation so you can focus on getting well.
