According to Louisiana State University’s Center for Analytics and Research in Transportation, over 1,400 pedestrians in Louisiana suffer injuries annually, with more than 100 fatal cases—approximately one-third occurring in Orleans Parish. The firm emphasizes that pedestrians face greater risk than motorists or cyclists due to lack of protection, resulting in severe injuries including fractures requiring surgery, soft tissue injuries, traumatic brain injuries affecting memory and cognition, neck and back injuries requiring pain management, devastating spinal cord injuries causing permanent functional loss, painful joint dislocations, and traumatic amputations.

William A. Barousse provides pedestrian accident representation from his office at 1100 Poydras St, Suite 2810, New Orleans, LA 70163. Pedestrians walking near roads or sidewalks place their trust in others to act reasonably, but unfortunately, this trust is often broken, resulting in serious injuries. Attorney Barousse brings extensive personal injury litigation experience to achieve optimal outcomes for pedestrian accident victims. When cars cause injuries, victims should sue the driver, but when dangerous conditions lead to accidents, multiple parties may bear liability including property owners, managers, or contractors. Drivers maintain a duty to operate vehicles safely, avoiding pedestrian injuries, and breach this duty through unreasonable handling that causes accidents. Under premises liability, landowners must keep properties free from dangerous conditions they knew or should have known about through reasonable care. Pedestrian accidents commonly result in broken bones, brain and spinal injuries, and sometimes wrongful death, particularly endangering children in metropolitan areas. Attorney Barousse has significant experience with catastrophic injury, wrongful death, brain injuries, and vehicular accidents, providing valuable expertise in personal injury lawsuits. Contact (504) 517-3295 for case evaluation.
