Marrero anchors the central Westbank corridor, stretching along Lapalco Boulevard, Barataria Boulevard, and Ames Boulevard, with commuter routes feeding into the Westbank Expressway (US-90 Business) and Crescent City Connection. Between residential neighborhoods, retail corridors, and industrial access roads, accidents can happen anywhere from a rush-hour crash on Lapalco to a fall in a busy parking lot.
The Gertler Law Firm helps Marrero residents, workers, and visitors navigate their next steps after an injury, organizing medical records, handling insurer communications, and ensuring deadlines and paperwork stay on track.

What We Handle
Auto & Transportation
Traffic merges on Lapalco, Barataria, Ames, and the Westbank Expressway frequently lead to collisions. We collect crash reports, intersection photos, and telematics or black-box data to clarify responsibility and coverage layers.
Catastrophic Injury (TBI)
We coordinate treatment records from West Jefferson Medical Center (Marrero) and nearby urgent-care and therapy facilities, ensuring that ER notes, imaging, and neuro follow-ups remain consistent throughout your claim.
Premises Liability
Retail centers, apartment complexes, and medical campuses around Lapalco and Barataria must keep lighting, flooring, and safety inspections current. We obtain maintenance logs, vendor contracts, and past-incident reports to document negligence.
Product Liability & Dangerous Substances
Defective household or industrial products, from pressure cookers to shop tools, can cause serious injuries. We preserve the product, verify labeling, and trace distribution channels to support liability claims.
Construction & Workplace / Workers’ Compensation
Projects along the Expressway and industrial parks often involve cranes, lifts, or subcontracted crews. We analyze job-site safety plans and control documents to determine whether a third-party claim can run alongside workers’ comp benefits.
Wrongful Death
We assist families with documentation, coverage analysis, and timely filing in the 24th Judicial District Court (Gretna), providing steady guidance throughout.
Insurance & Medical Bills 101 (Marrero)
We organize billing from West Jefferson Medical Center, urgent-care centers, and rehabilitation facilities throughout Marrero, Harvey, and Westwego. Health insurance typically pays first; liability, UM/UIM, and MedPay may supplement or reimburse.
For workplace injuries, we ensure medical billing complies with the workers’ compensation system, coordinate with employers, and prevent double payments between comp and private insurers.
Local Scenarios (Examples Only)
- Two-vehicle collision on Lapalco Boulevard during evening traffic.

FAQs
Where is the court for the Marrero cases?
Most Jefferson Parish civil cases are filed in the 24th Judicial District Court (Gretna). Some smaller matters proceed in Second Parish Court (Marrero).
How does fault sharing work?
Louisiana allows recovery even if you share fault; any award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Do you handle work injuries?
Yes. We represent clients in both workers’ compensation and related third-party injury claims.
How long do I have to act?
Louisiana’s prescriptive period is generally one year from the incident date. Quick action helps preserve video evidence and witness statements from local corridors and job sites.
