Kenner borders Lake Pontchartrain and Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), with neighborhoods and businesses along I-10, Veterans Boulevard, Loyola Drive, Williams Boulevard, and Airline Highway (US-61). Traffic near the airport, hotels, and shopping corridors creates frequent crashes and premises injury risks.
Whether a collision happens on I-10 near the Loyola interchange or a fall occurs at a hotel, restaurant, or retail property, the Gertler Law Firm helps you understand your options and keep paperwork organized.

What We Handle
Auto & Transportation: Wrecks near MSY, the Loyola interchange, Veterans, or Williams Blvd are common. We obtain reports, photos, and insurer statements to clarify liability and coverage.
Catastrophic Injury (TBI): Head injuries may follow high-speed impacts or hotel falls around the airport district. We coordinate records from Ochsner Medical Center – Kenner and East Jefferson General to document your recovery.
Premises Liability: From airport-area hotels to big-box stores and restaurant corridors, unsafe flooring, spills, or lighting can cause harm. We review maintenance records, inspection policies, and security footage when available.
Product Liability & Dangerous Substances: Consumer or industrial products used in airport, warehouse, or retail settings may malfunction or lack warnings. We evaluate product design, labeling, and distribution.
Construction Accidents: Cargo, warehouse, and roadway projects around MSY, Veterans, and Loyola often involve subcontractors and heavy equipment. We analyze contracts, training logs, and safety controls to identify responsibility.
Workers’ Compensation: We explain medical and wage benefits, coordinate provider approvals, and determine whether a third-party claim may apply alongside workers’ comp.
Wrongful Death: We assist families through documentation, filing deadlines, and insurance coordination with respect and care.
Insurance & Medical Bills 101 (Kenner)
Health insurance generally pays first, followed by any available auto coverage, such as liability, UM / UIM, or MedPay. We organize records from Ochsner – Kenner, East Jefferson General, urgent-care facilities, and physical-therapy providers across the Veterans and Airline corridors. When an injury occurs at work, we ensure bills are submitted correctly under the workers’ comp system and coordinate with insurers to avoid duplicate payments or delays.
