PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS
SERVING LOUISIANA’S NORTHSHORE

The Northshore is more than a single community; it’s a network of fast-growing cities, industrial corridors, and bayou towns stretching from Slidell to Hammond and from Madisonville to Franklinton. With heavy interstate traffic, expanding construction, and year-round tourism, serious accidents here happen in seconds, and their aftermath can last for months or years.

The Gertler Law Firm assists clients across St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington Parishes in navigating complex injury and wrongful death claims, coordinating evidence, insurance communications, and litigation strategies so that you can focus on recovery.

How We Help Northshore Residents After an Injury

We understand the unique pace and geography of the Northshore; rural highways meet urban sprawl, and construction, trucking, and maritime work often overlap. Our team handles every aspect of your claim, from intake through resolution.

Auto & Transportation Accidents

Interstate corridors like I-12, I-10, I-55, and I-59 connect the region’s workforce and freight routes but also cause frequent, high-impact collisions. We secure crash reports, black-box and dash-cam data, and insurer records to determine liability across multiple drivers or fleets.

Truck & 18-Wheeler Crashes

Commercial trucking dominates the I-12 and I-55 corridors. We pursue evidence from ELD systems, driver qualification files, and carrier safety records to hold logistics operators accountable for fatigue, maintenance failures, and excessive loads.

Brain & Catastrophic Injury (TBI)

Major impacts on the interstate, in construction zones, or on job sites often result in head injuries. We coordinate neurological evaluations and long-term care documentation through North Oaks Health System (Hammond), St. Tammany Health System (Covington), and other regional facilities.

Premises & Property Liability

Slips, trips, and falls at retail corridors, lakefront venues, or apartment complexes can stem from poor lighting, wet surfaces, or neglected maintenance. We document site inspections, video surveillance, and contractor involvement to confirm who controlled the hazard.

Product Liability & Dangerous Substances

From defective tools and recalled implants to toxic exposure and asbestos cases, we investigate how unsafe products or environmental hazards reach consumers or workers. We preserve evidence, trace distribution chains, and coordinate expert testing.

Construction & Industrial Accidents

With residential growth along LA-22, US-190, and I-12, job-site injuries are frequent. We analyze subcontractor agreements, safety plans, and OSHA filings to determine whether a third-party claim can run alongside workers’ compensation.

Wrongful Death

When a fatal crash, workplace event, or medical error devastates a family, we help secure documentation, verify eligibility, and pursue claims within Louisiana’s one-year prescriptive period.

Insurance & Medical Bills 101 (Northshore)

  • Coverage layers: Health insurance often pays first, followed by liability, UM/UIM, or MedPay coverages. We confirm the order of priority and track offsets.
  • Regional providers: We coordinate billing and records from North Oaks (Hammond), St. Tammany Health System (Covington), Lakeview Hospital (Mandeville), and Ochsner – North Shore (Slidell).
  • Lien management: We handle Medicare, Medicaid, and private-plan liens to prevent overpayment or double recovery.
  • Workers’ comp overlap: We reconcile comp benefits with third-party recoveries to ensure wage and medical documentation stay consistent.

Typical Scenarios Across the Northshore

The following examples are illustrative only; they do not represent actual client cases.

  • 18-wheeler crash on I-12 between Mandeville and Hammond.
  • Rear-end collision on LA-22 near Madisonville Bridge during rush hour.
  • Fall at a Slidell retail center or lakefront restaurant after rain.
  • Construction accident along I-12 or US-190 involving subcontractor oversight.
  • Defective medical device or chemical exposure leading to long-term illness.

What to Bring

Crash photos or video, police or OSHA reports, insurance cards, medical bills, employer wage records, and a concise written summary of events and treatment timeline.

FAQs - Northshore Injury Claims

Which court handles my case?

Depends on location:

  • St. Tammany Parish: 22nd Judicial District Court (Covington)
  • Tangipahoa Parish: 21st Judicial District Court (Amite City)
  • Washington Parish: 22nd Judicial District Court (Franklinton)

Do I need to meet in person?

Not necessarily. We offer virtual and phone consultations, with in-person meetings by appointment across the Northshore.

What if multiple insurers or states are involved?

Interstate crashes often involve out-of-state drivers and commercial carriers; we coordinate coverage analysis across state lines.
