Study Of Modern Football Helmets Questions Ability To Protect From Brain Injury

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Most of the people who use football helmets in the New Orleans area do not play for the New Orleans Saints. Instead, they are elementary, high school and college students. While football is a violent sport, every effort should be made to keep these young people safe. Unfortunately, a recent study by the Cleveland Clinic […]

Do All Sailors Who Are Injured Qualify To Recover Damages Under The Jones Act?

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Many New Orleans residents have employment connected to shipping and other ocean-based activities. When a seaman suffers a personal injury while working aboard a vessel, that seaman’s ability to recover damages is governed under the Jones Act – a federal law enacted to regulate such cases. Not everyone whose employment is connected to the sea, […]

How Is The Value Of A Personal Injury Determined?

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

When a New Orleans resident suffers a life-changing personal injury, it may seem impossible to place a dollar value on it. In the case of serious injuries, no amount of financial compensation can return that person’s life to normal. Nonetheless, in personal injury cases, both insurance providers and lawyers must attempt to determine a fair […]

How Often Does Nursing Home Abuse Or Neglect Occur?

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Some of the most vulnerable New Orleans citizens reside in nursing homes. Placing a parent or grandparent in a nursing home is a very difficult decision, and we all want to make sure they are well cared for. While it is difficult to obtain hard data on the frequency of abuse or neglect of nursing […]

Changes Sought To Laws Surrounding Wrongful Deaths On The High Seas In Wake Of Bp Disaster

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Many of New Orleans’ families have a loved one whose job requires travel in the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately for these families, they do not have the same rights as those on land if that family member dies due to the negligence of his or her employer while in international waters. One of the few […]

Hybrid Cars Found To Pose Additional Hazard In National Study.

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Next time you take a walk around New Orleans, pay attention to the sound of the cars. While we have all complained at some point about cars and trucks roaring by and disturbing our peace and quiet, a recent study by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has found that this noise helps pedestrians […]

Louisiana Legislature Aims To Toughen Laws Regulating Texting While Driving

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: March 7, 2026

Over the last few years, the New Orleans area has seen a number of terrible auto accidents involving drivers who were sending text messages while driving. While the State of Louisiana began regulating this dangerous practice in 2008, the legislature recently has decided that the existing law did not go far enough to protect innocent […]

Women Found To Be At Greater Risk Of Injury In Auto Accidents

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: March 7, 2026

As experienced personal injury attorneys practicing in New Orleans for many years, we have noted that when it comes to automobile accidents, we tend to see more injured women than men. A recent study has found that this is not just a fluke, but a national trend. This study is not the first time the […]

Is A Driver Always Liable If He Strikes A Pedestrian?

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

When a New Orleans personal injury accident involves a collision between a motor vehicle and a pedestrian, Louisiana has specific laws regarding the duty of the driver. These laws, however, do not automatically make the driver legally responsible for the pedestrian’s injuries. Louisiana Revised Statute 32:214 requires that drivers shall “exercise due care to avoid […]

How Does A Defendant’s Insurance Apply In A Personal Injury Lawsuit?

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

In most New Orleans personal injury lawsuits, the majority of the work involved in defending the case will be conducted by the defendant’s insurer and its attorneys. While both injured clients and the general public are sometimes concerned about causing extreme financial hardship to a defendant who – while negligent – did not intentionally cause […]
