Callaham, a seasoned trial lawyer from Sacramento, California, has visited New
Orleans many times, never fearing for his safety or questioning the prudence of
strolling around after dark. And so last week, after listening to some
late-night music in the French Quarter, he didn’t think twice about walking
back to the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Loyola Avenue.

Callaham,
66, had crossed Canal Street about 2 a.m. and gone a block or two into the
Central Business District when he first spotted a trio of young men out of the
corner of his eye.

trial presentation techniques at a Louisiana Association for Justice

The next
thing Callaham remembers, he was staggering down the street, disoriented,
having just regained consciousness. “I was covered in blood, bleeding
profusely,” he said. “I remember standing and leaning on a trash receptacle for
support, trying to figure out why I was bleeding and what was going on.”

“I don’t

all of any fight, being hit. Absolutely no memory of any of that.”

Puzzlingly,
the assailants did not take anything from Callaham, who said he was wearing a
nice cashmere jacket, slacks and a Rolex watch. Several hundred dollars
remained in his wallet, untouched. “I don’t know if they got interrupted. I
don’t know if they didn’t care,” he said. “They apparently made no attempt even
to take anything from me.”

help. “I said, ‘I don’t know,’ ” he recalled.

Moments
later, he realized his jaw had been broken and that he needed emergency
treatment. The women drove Callaham to a nearby hospital, and a CT scan soon made
plain the extent of his injuries. “They came back and said, ‘You have very
serious facial and jaw injuries. We can’t handle it here. We’re going to send
you over to University Hospital,’ ” he said.

Callaham
underwent a complicated surgery that took several hours and involved six
surgeons. He had suffered a broken jaw that required placing a metal plate
across his lower mandible, in addition to a fractured nose and several broken
teeth.

While he’s
already back to work in California, where he practices personal injury law,
Callaham knows the road ahead will be a steep climb. He’s on a fully liquid
diet for eight weeks and has lost seven pounds.

“If somebody
would have confronted me and robbed me and said, ‘Give us all your money; give
us your watch,’ I would have happily done it,” Callaham said. “Believe me, I
would have paid 10 times what I had on me to not be putting up with what I’m
going to be facing.”

Despite his
harrowing encounter, Callaham didn’t hesitate to say he would visit the
Crescent City again some day. “I’ve been to New Orleans many times,” he said,
“and I do enjoy just wandering around and seeing people and things.”
