Louisiana is home to a thriving maritime economy. Donald D’Aunoy Jr. has represented numerous clients injured in the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Pontchartrain and Louisiana’s various rivers, including the Mississippi River and Tangipahoa River.
Donald D’Aunoy Jr. has the knowledge and experience to ascertain whether a client injured on or near the water is a Jones Act seaman, longshoreman under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) or worker under the Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Act. Typically, seamen spend at least of 30% of their work time working on vessels in navigable waterways, and their work duties contribute to the mission of the vessels.

If the injured client is a seaman, Donald D’Aunoy Jr. works quickly to ensure that the seaman’s maintenance and cure is started. He will also file suit when necessary against the maritime entities and their insurers. A seaman injured on the water may often make the following claims:
  • Maintenance and cure
  • Medical benefits
  • Lost Wages
  • Pain and Suffering
Longshoremen and harbor workers injured on-the-job are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits under the LHWCA, which does not typically provide for pain and suffering awards. However, they may be entitled to pain and suffering if their accident was caused by “vessel negligence.” In these cases, their claims are pursued by filing a lawsuit under 905(b) in federal court. Donald D’Aunoy Jr. has filed these claims numerous times and obtained favorable results.
Donald D’Aunoy Jr. has also successfully prosecuted claims under the general maritime law. For instances, he has represented clients in vessel collision cases. He is experienced in handling claims involving water accidents and understands the important nuances in the classification of workers’ statuses injured on the water.
Donald D’Aunoy Jr. has handled maritime matters that have included:
  • Tug boat accidents
  • Vessel collisions
  • Workers’ exposure to hazardous substances onboard vessels
  • Crew boat accidents
  • Crane Accidents
  • Fallen object accidents
  • Supply boat accidents
  • Tanker accidents
