Maritime Injuries
Maritime work can be a dangerous industry, and workers often suffer when their employers don’t have safety and best practices as a primary concern.
When workers are injured, the firm’s maritime lawyers handle Jones Act cases, offshore injury claims and cases involving commercial and sport diving injuries, as well as claims under the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act and the Death on the High Seas Act.
Anytime a worker is injured off the coast of Louisiana or in any of the navigable waterways of the U.S., our maritime attorneys provide a thorough investigation and comprehensive defense of their rights to achieve fair compensation.
Personal Injury
Personal injury accidents occur when the unsafe actions of others cause harm. The resulting damage could be a minor. wound or life changing and catastrophic.
Accidents don’t usually just happen – someone’s negligent choices create a domino effect that leads to personal injury. Damage recovery can include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
The Louisiana personal injury attorney team at Lambert Zainey has the experience and tenacity to fight for damages after car accidents, trucking accidents, product liability, refinery accidents, and other personal injury incidents.
Environmental Injuries
Personal injury and property damage aren’t the only fallout that can result from a company’s unsafe waste disposal practices. The economies of whole towns can be affected when waste contaminates their water supply. Oil and other chemical spills into the state’s rivers, lakes, bayous, and coastal waters can have a negative effect on workers in the tourism and fishing industries.
If you have experienced property damage or personal injury as a result of agricultural or industrial pollution or contamination, you have a right to seek compensation from the responsible parties. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to recover compensation for a wide range of damages.
