Gretna & West Bank Personal Injury Lawyer
The West Bank works hard. The shipyards and industrial corridors of Harvey and Marrero, the truck traffic on Highway 90 and Peters Road, the daily flood of commuters over the Crescent City Connection. When West Bank residents get hurt in a crash or on the job of living, they deserve a lawyer who knows this side of the river. Thomas Corrington has represented Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, and Westwego families since 1998.

We Try Cases in the Gretna Courthouse
Jefferson Parish justice runs through one building: the 24th Judicial District Court on Derbigny Street in Gretna. If your case is filed, that is almost certainly where it goes, and where your lawyer’s reputation and familiarity matter. We have negotiated and litigated in that courthouse for nearly three decades. When an insurer evaluates your claim, part of what they price in is whether your attorney is comfortable taking it to trial there. We are.

Injured on the West Bank?

Local Roads, Real Risks
The Westbank Expressway’s mix of elevated lanes and frontage-road intersections produces some of the region’s most dangerous crash patterns, and the industrial truck traffic feeding the shipyards raises the stakes: collisions with commercial vehicles cause disproportionately severe injuries. Those cases demand fast evidence preservation, company records, driver logs, black-box data, and we move on all of it immediately.
One phone call from anywhere on the West Bank: (504) 895-3431. Free consultation, no fee unless we win.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Gretna lawyer, or can any New Orleans lawyer handle my case?
What matters is Jefferson Parish experience. West Bank cases are usually heard in the 24th JDC in Gretna, and a lawyer who has practiced there for decades, as Thomas has, values and prepares your case for that court specifically.
What is my West Bank car accident case worth?
It depends on fault, injuries, and available coverage, including your own UM policy if the other driver was uninsured, which is common. We evaluate it for free and tell you honestly what we see.
Can you meet me if I can’t travel to your office?
Yes. Phone and video consultations are standard, and we make arrangements for seriously injured clients. Distance is never a reason to settle for less representation.
