New Orleans, LA – At 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, the law firm of Maples & Connick, LLC will file a lawsuit against the City of New Orleans and the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) for their failure to implement basic safety precautions for citizens and visitors. This negligence paved the way for the tragic events that unfolded in the early morning hours of January 1, 2025.
The evidence will demonstrate that the act of terror perpetrated by Shamsud-Din Jabbar was both foreseeable and preventable. Jabbar exploited the NOPD's gross negligence, resulting in a horrific act that is now etched into the archives of our great City’s history.
Because of the negligence of the NOPD and the City of New Orleans, 14 innocent lives were lost. Dozens more were injured, and the courses of their lives forever changed. The survivors of this tragic event will bear the emotional and physical scars for the rest of their lives. We are honored to represent one of these individuals and are committed to utilizing every legal avenue available to uncover the truth and secure full compensation for our client. The affected individuals and the citizens of New Orleans deserve answers.
Maples & Connick is a trial firm devoted to advocating for individuals injured across the Gulf Coast due to the negligence of others. We are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding this devastating event and encourage family members and loved ones of those impacted to reach out to us directly.
