About Intracoastal City

If you’re employed as a maritime worker in Louisiana’s oil and gas or fishing industries, you probably know that Intracoastal City isn’t really a city; it’s an unincorporated community in Vermilion Parish situated along State Hwy 333 on the west bank of the Vermilion River at its junction with the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. While there are some permanent residents in Intracoastal City, most folks who work here live up the road in nearby Abbeville.

Heliports, seafood processing plants, docks and shipyards are just a few of the facilities to be found at Intracoastal City. These are operated by a wide range of companies, including:

Baker Hughes

Trussco Mfg.

Obtaining the total compensation you deserve after an Intracoastal City maritime accident can be a challenge if you aren’t familiar with maritime laws.

You need the help of an experienced Intracoastal City maritime injury accident attorney familiar with the many aspects of maritime law and the dedication to fight to get you every cent you are owed no matter how long it may take.

Some of the maritime laws that may apply include:

If an employer is “arbitrary and capricious” or “willful or callous” in delaying, denying or terminating maintenance and cure benefits, maritime law allows an injured Intracoastal City worker to take legal action that includes punitive damages and attorney’s fees.

Choosing the right maritime lawyer is key to the success of your case. A few things to look are:

Experience
Success rate
Reputation
Client reviews

Few maritime law firms match Lambert Zainey’s record for success. We’ve obtained billions of dollars in compensation for our clients. Our knowledge of maritime law, legal expertise and vast resources gives us an edge most other maritime injury law firms just don’t possess.

Injured Intracoastal City maritime workers are sometimes worried about being put on a “blacklist” if they pursue an accident case.

While we can’t say for sure whether any “list” is floating around among maritime employers, we strongly believe this should NOT be a factor in deciding whether to pursue a claim. Maritime workers, including workers in ports, on inland waterways and offshore, are protected by laws against blacklisting or otherwise retaliating against workers.
