Louisiana Premises Liability Laws

Under Louisiana law, a property owner is liable for any injury and damages arising from an unreasonably dangerous condition on the property. Premises liability cases are complex because the injured party must prove many elements, depending on where the accident occurred.

Different legal standards that apply to various types of property owners, such as merchants, non-merchant privately owned property, and publicly owned property. Therefore, what must you prove in your case depends on who owns the property.

For example, according to the Merchant Liability Statute, a “merchant” is essentially a business that sells goods, merchandise, food, and services at a fixed location. Common types of merchants include retail stores, restaurants, and auto shops.

To succeed in a premises liability case against a merchant, the plaintiff (i.e., the injured party) must prove the following elements:

  • A condition existed on the property that created an unreasonable and foreseeable risk of injury to the plaintiff;
  • The merchant either created the condition or had actual or constructive notice of it;
  • The merchant failed to exercise reasonable care; and
  • The plaintiff suffered injury because of it.

Due to the complexities of premises liability cases in Louisiana, you must hire an experienced personal injury attorney to protect your rights and best interests from start to finish. Our legal team can thoroughly investigate the accident, collect and assess evidence, negotiate with insurers and other parties, and maximize the financial compensation you deserve.
