Do The Defense Attorneys Represent The Person Who Injured Me Or Her Insurance Company?

July 10, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

In most New Orleans personal injury lawsuits, the person or business responsible for causing the injury will have some form of insurance that provides coverage.

July 10, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

When a New Orleans resident needs a hip or knee replacement, they should have some assurance that the medical device being implanted will not result in further injury, such as what we are seeing with the recent Exactech Knee Recall.

July 10, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

As experienced personal injury attorneys practicing in New Orleans, we try to keep up to date on issues related to motor vehicle safety.

Does It Hurt My Case If We Can’t Find One Of The Defendants?

July 10, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

It is not unusual for a New Orleans personal injury lawsuit to involve more than one defendant. Any time the negligence of multiple parties leads to an injury, an experienced personal injury attorney will pursue compensation from all of those responsible. An inability to locate a potential defendant does not bar you from pursuing damages […]

Federal Agency Proposes Stronger Laws Targeting Drunk Drivers

June 24, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: November 19, 2025

As New Orleans personal injury attorneys, we have a great deal of experience suing drunk drivers and are well aware of the devastation that these drivers cause to innocent people.
