Injured in New Orleans?

Tell us what happened and where. We are not a law firm and this is not legal advice; naming your city here is not a claim that we can connect you with an attorney in it.

What do we actually know about New Orleans?

Two public records. The Census Bureau estimates New Orleans has about 362,154 residents. The federal crash census (NHTSA FARS) counts 299 fatal crashes in Orleans Parish from 2020 to 2024, the most in 2022 (71). Those are county-wide counts, not New Orleans alone. Neither figure says an attorney is available here, and neither indicates what any particular case is worth.

  • 200 of the 299 fatal crashes (67%) happened after dark.

  • 25 of the 299 fatal crashes (8%) began with a cyclist being struck.

NHTSA FARS — Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2020–2024, across Orleans Parish. "After dark" is the crash report's light condition; "rural" is the road's classification, not the city's; a cyclist is counted only when being struck was the first harmful event. Source

These are public figures about the area, published by the agencies named beside them. They describe roads and populations, not claims, and none of them says anything about what any particular case is worth.
