Your Defense Attorney for Premises Liability Cases

As attorneys in the practice of Premises Liability Defense, this is where we see a lot of our personal injury cases. Representing commercial and industrial businesses of all sizes, we handle cases for retail and big-box stores, hospitality and food service, automotive, construction, manufacturing and industrial equipment, and mass transportation.

Premises Liability claims account for most of claims filed and affect approximately 10% of businesses over a five year period. Accidents, such as slips, trips and falls can typically be settled reasonably and quickly. More serious injuries, such as serious falls resulting in broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries (TBI) may require going to trial.

As we have the experience and expertise in handling these personal injury claims for both businesses and individuals, we have been on both sides of the issue and can guide your case in the direction which will resolve it efficiently.

Minor and severe personal injury claims account for most of the lawsuits filed when it comes to Civil Defense lawsuits.
Lawrence, Curlin & Associates defends individuals and businesses in premises liability claims in the Greater New Orleans area and entire states of Louisiana and Texas.
