Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Premises Liability Lawyers

The laws governing liability of a property owner in Louisiana changed dramatically in 1996 with the advent of tort reform. Previously, property owners were responsible for injuries resulting from any kind of defect in their property without regard to whether they knew about it. Following tort reform, property owners are liable for defects only if they knew or should have known about the defect.
