NEW ORLEANS – A New Orleans man is suing a large construction firm for injuries he claims occurred on one of their work sites.

Halloran claims he injured his left ankle, upper back, both wrists, both knees and damaged his teeth.
The defendants are accused of negligence.
An unspecified amount in damages is sought for the plaintiff's injuries plus legal costs.
Halloran is representing himself.
