PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS SERVING LAFOURCHE PARISH

Thibodaux

As the parish seat and gateway to Bayou Lafourche, Thibodaux blends university life, commuter traffic, and growing retail development. Major routes like LA-1, LA-20, and LA-308 see daily congestion tied to Nicholls State University, medical centers, and bridge crossings. Our attorneys handle injury claims across Thibodaux from downtown corridors and campus-adjacent intersections to residential and commercial developments, coordinating care with Thibodaux Regional Health System and local specialists.

Raceland

Raceland connects US-90 (future I-49) with LA-1 and LA-182, making it a key corridor for commuters, freight, and industrial traffic. Collisions at interchange zones, warehouse entrances, and plant service roads are frequent. We pursue auto, workplace, and premises claims in Raceland and neighboring Mathews, coordinating medical records with Ochsner St. Anne Hospital and guiding clients through coverage questions involving employer and third-party insurers.

Mathews

Located between Raceland and Lockport, Mathews sees steady movement of heavy trucks, school buses, and local commuters on LA-1 and LA-308. Accidents often occur near residential turns or industrial driveways. We assist injured residents with evidence preservation, insurer communication, and benefit coordination, especially when multiple coverages (auto, employer, contractor) overlap.

Lockport

Lockport sits along Bayou Lafourche with bridge crossings linking LA-1 and LA-308. Its residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors experience recurring traffic incidents and property-related injuries. We help Lockport residents navigate auto and premises claims, gathering police reports, medical documentation, and witness accounts to clarify liability and protect their recovery timeline.

Larose

Where LA-1 meets LA-3235, Larose serves as a logistics hub connecting the northern parish to Port Fourchon. Yard traffic, lift operations, and marine fabrication work heighten the risk of industrial and auto injuries. Our firm investigates job-site and contractor incidents, handling both workers’ compensation and third-party claims tied to Larose’s industrial corridor.

Cut Off

Cut Off extends south of Larose along LA-1 and LA-3235, with retail centers, fabrication yards, and residential developments sharing close quarters. The mix of commuter and heavy-haul vehicles contributes to frequent collisions and workplace incidents. We handle auto, construction, and product-related claims for Cut Off residents, ensuring treatment and billing stay organized from intake to resolution.

Galliano

Galliano anchors the southern corridor before Golden Meadow and Port Fourchon. Offshore, fabrication, and service traffic dominate LA-1 and LA-3235, with shift-change congestion and yard operations contributing to local injury patterns. Our attorneys coordinate medical and wage documentation, manage insurer communications, and prepare filings when negotiation isn’t enough.

Golden Meadow

Golden Meadow marks the transition to Port Fourchon and the Gulf. Narrow roadways, bridge approaches, and coastal weather conditions add hazards for both motorists and maritime workers. We assist residents and offshore employees with auto, workplace, and premises claims, gathering reports, securing coverage confirmation, and pursuing the compensation needed to recover.

• Auto & Transportation: High-volume corridors (US-90, LA-1, LA-308, LA-3235) and bridge approaches through Thibodaux, Lockport, and Larose create complex coverage issues.
• Catastrophic Injury (TBI): Severe collisions or falls at retail, industrial, or medical sites; we coordinate records from major Lafourche providers.
• Premises Liability: Apartments, groceries, marinas, and yard facilities must keep safe conditions; we review inspection logs and lighting standards.
• Product Liability & Dangerous Substances: Household and industrial defects, unsafe warnings, or design failures are investigated parish-wide.
• Construction Accidents: Bridge, corridor, and yard projects (Raceland: Golden Meadow) often involve cranes and lifts; we review safety and contract documentation.
• Workers’ Compensation: We clarify benefits, provider authorization, and overlap with third-party liability claims.
• Wrongful Death: We handle documentation and insurance coordination with precision and compassion.

Coverage Order: Health insurance generally pays first; liability, UM/UIM, or MedPay can supplement or reimburse.

Provider Coordination: We organize records and billing from Thibodaux Regional, Ochsner St. Anne, and Lady of the Sea, plus Nicholls-area and LA-3235 clinics.

MedPay / Wages: We document missed work – including rotating schedules tied to yards or offshore shifts and evaluate MedPay or PIP options.

Liens & Subrogation: We manage hospital and health-plan liens and coordinate Medicare/Medicaid where applicable.

Workers’ Comp Overlap: We explain the billing structure and how third-party claims can run parallel to comp benefits.
