Maritime Law

New Orleans Admiralty Law Attorneys

Due to the fact that New Orleans is a port city, there are numerous businesses with offshore interests — oil rigs, platforms and vessels each peopled with workers undertaking a variety of duties. Unfortunately accidents occur offshore, and whether the injuries sustained were due to a collision, the malfunction of a piece of machinery or component, or a failure to properly maintain the safety features of a large piece of equipment, they often have serious short and long term physical and financial repercussions.

The firm of Herman, Herman, Katz & Cotlar, LLP in Louisiana works to provide admiralty law related information aimed at prevention of serious accidents and legal support when serious injury or death occurs.
