Louisiana's storm season creates a wave of preventable injuries — and some of them are someone else's fault.
Beyond Property Damage
Hurricanes and severe storms cause injuries well beyond flooding — falling debris, downed power lines, generator carbon-monoxide poisoning, cleanup falls, and crashes on damaged or flooded roads.
When negligence by a property owner, contractor, or another driver contributes, an injury claim may follow.
Post-Storm Hazards
Contractors performing repairs owe a duty of safety. Defective generators and equipment can lead to product-liability claims. Premises left dangerous after a storm can support a claim against the owner.
Document Everything
Photograph hazards and your injuries, keep medical and repair records, and note the conditions that caused the harm. Storm-related evidence degrades quickly.
