Gretna anchors the Westbank corridor along US-90 (Westbank Expressway), minutes from the Crescent City Connection and downtown New Orleans. The area’s mix of commuter routes, industrial yards, and retail developments leads to a steady volume of roadway, workplace, and premises incidents.
We help Gretna residents, employees, and visitors organize documentation, coordinate with insurers, and make informed choices after a crash, fall, or injury.

What We Handle
Auto & Transportation: The Westbank Expressway, Belle Chasse Highway (LA-23), and Lapalco Boulevard see frequent multi-vehicle collisions tied to lane merges and rush-hour flow. We collect crash reports, black-box data, and available video footage from traffic or business cameras.
Catastrophic Injury (TBI): We coordinate records through Ochsner Medical Center – West Bank (Gretna), area clinics, and rehabilitation providers, documenting imaging, neurological evaluations, and therapy progress.
Premises Liability: Older commercial properties and new retail centers along Manhattan Blvd and Stumpf Blvd must maintain proper lighting, floor care, and inspection intervals. We secure incident reports, vendor contracts, and maintenance logs.
Product Liability & Dangerous Substances: Industrial, automotive, and consumer products used across the Westbank can fail or lack warnings. We evaluate product design, safety instructions, and manufacturer or distributor accountability.
Construction & Workplace / Workers’ Compensation: Projects tied to US-90 bridgework, corridor improvements, and yard operations often involve multiple subcontractors. We identify site control, review safety plans, and explain how comp and third-party claims can run concurrently.
Wrongful Death: After fatal roadway, workplace, or product incidents, we help families secure documentation, confirm coverage, and handle filing within the parish court system.
Insurance & Medical Bills 101 (Gretna)
We coordinate liability, UM/UIM, and MedPay coverage and organize medical bills from Ochsner West Bank, nearby urgent-care centers, and specialty clinics across Jefferson Parish. When workers’ compensation overlaps with a personal injury claim, we align billing, monitor EOBs, and track lien releases or subrogation notices to maintain clear records.
