Maritime & Offshore Injury Attorney

Any injury that involves a passenger or a seaman falls under the area of Maritime Law. If you have been injured while working as a crew member on a ship, tug, supply vessel, crew vessel, jack-up vessel, derrick barger, pipe lay barger, or any other type of vessel then it is your right to file a claim and deserve compensation. Read More

Car Accident Lawyer

Even if a driver is not at fault, Louisiana law may limit the amount of compensation he or she can receive from the at-fault party, depending on the situation. For this reason, anyone involved in a car crash should immediately consult an experienced car wreck lawyer – like the attorneys at the Patrick Yancey Law Firm. Read More

18-Wheeler Accidents

Every day, 18-wheeler trucks crisscross Louisiana, transporting goods around the state. Sometimes they do this safely, but when they’re involved in crashes, the results can be devastating. These are large vehicles carrying heavy loads, and 18-wheeler accidents can cause significant damage, injuries and even deaths. Read More

Aviation Injury Attorney

Most airplane or helicopter crashes happen as a consequence of human mistakes and mechanical difficulties. While the federal government sets safety standards for pilot conduct, flight operations, and aircraft manufacturing, these guidelines are minimum safety standards that are not always enforced well enough to prevent airplane or helicopter crashes. Many aviation incidents could have been prevented if proper procedures were followed. Read More

Cruises are becoming more and more affordable and this has lead to a great deal of people shifting to cruises for vacations. This shift in trend of vacations has increased the amount of traffic and passengers for cruise ships tremendously.
