WHAT WE DO

Stag Liuzza, LLC is a plaintiff-oriented Environmental and Personal Injury Law Firm in New Orleans, Louisiana. We utilize our decades of expertise to focus on both individuals and complex litigations, fighting for people who’ve been harmed by bad actors. We advance the costs of litigation, including the hiring of expert witnesses necessary to prove claims with technical or scientific evidence, allowing us to help a wide array of clients. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid when we win. We prepare cases for trial to maximize settlement value and financial recovery at trial.

Our firm is built to fight for individuals and communities affected by pollution, toxic exposure, environmental damage, and negligence of others, ensuring responsible parties are held accountable. We fight for the little guy.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION​

Our land, water, and air are our most precious resources. Protection of these resources is of the utmost importance to ensure a safe, healthy, and sustainable environment now and for future generations.

TOXIC & RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS EXPOSURE​

Stag Liuzza represents thousands of clients injured from exposure to toxic and radioactive materials. These exposures can increase the chance of developing illness, and can lead to death. Injuries include numerous cancers, such as mesothelioma, and can take years or even decades to develop.

DEFECTIVE DRUGS & MEDICAL DEVICES​

Drug and medical device manufacturers are responsible for producing safe and effective medications and devices, as well as providing warnings of potential risks of their products.

PFAS EXPOSURE

Oil and gas leases generally include provisions for the payment of royalties. The operator of the well is required to pay royalties to the owner of the minerals when the well produces. PFAS are dangerous chemicals that cause severe health issues like liver damage, higher risk of some cancers, pregnancy complications, thyroid disease, and more.

PERSONAL INJURY & WRONGFUL DEATH

Personal injury lawsuits seek compensation for physical and emotional injury. These cases often arise from traffic and workplace accidents, as well as defective products. When a personal injury results from the wrongful conduct of another, the bad actor may be found legally responsible and be required to pay money to compensate for the injuries caused.
