Boat and Vessel Accidents
Passionate Representation for Boaters and Jones Act Seamen
The Mississippi River, Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Maurepas and the Mississippi River Delta are some of the most heavily trafficked waterways in the entire country. From barges and oil tankers to fishing boats and personal watercraft, activities on the water are constant. Unfortunately, all of this activity means that boat and vessel accidents happen frequently.
