JONES ACT/MARTIME LAW CLAIMS
OFFSHORE-MARITIME-INSHORE-BLUE WATER & BROWN WATER CLAIMS
Working in the maritime or offshore energy industry is physically demanding and frequently dangerous, even under the best conditions.  Many companies try to take advantage of injured workers by seeking to dictate their choice of doctors or refusing to pay legally required benefits due for an injury.  For over a quarter of a century, the Louis St. Martin firm has focused on representing those injured in the maritime and offshore energy industry, including Jones Act workers.  Millions of dollars in justly deserved compensation have been recovered in these cases for clients who have ranged from seamen to commercial divers to platform workers. 

AVIATION ACCIDENTS
Throughout the offshore energy industry, helicopter transportation is frequently the only way to get back and forth to work.  Aviation accidents are often caused by lax maintenance or pilot error.  A complex collection of federal and international law and treaties governs all aviation cases.  Louis St. Martin has real-life experience with these laws as pilot-in-command of single, multi-engine and jet airplanes and as a helicopter pilot. This specialized knowledge may make a difference in your total recovery.

18-WHEELER ACCIDENTS
Even a low speed collision with an 18-wheeler or other big rig can be devastating.   Plus, it is not merely a claim against a large truck.  The trucking industry is widely regulated, and the issues involved can be much more complicated than in an ordinary automobile case. With such a complex set of federal and state rules and regulations governing driver conduct and vehicle safety, an experienced attorney such as Louis St. Martin can make the difference as to whether you receive the compensation you deserve.

BURN INJURIES
Burn injuries are among the most physically and emotionally devastating traumas a person can suffer.  The monetary, mental and physical costs of recovering from a burn injury are staggering.  Recovery from severe burn injuries can take years, requiring treatment by numerous medical specialists, as well as long-term physical and emotional support.  Louis St. Martin and his associates have represented victims of burns that were caused by automobile accidents, industrial explosions, gasoline spills, gas explosions and other incidents.

PRODUCT LIABILITY
More and more often, the news is filled with stories of catastrophic injuries caused by defective products.  From faulty automobile tires to products manufactured overseas with lesser standards, the cases continue to grow throughout the legal arena.  Products liability claims involve complex legal and technical issues, so you want an attorney on your side who fully understands these issues.  The firm of Louis St. Martin APLC has extensive experience in Louisiana's Products Liability Law, representing victims of faultily designed and manufactured products.
