Maritime Lawyers New Orleans have represented individuals, recreational and commercial vessel owners and operators, maritime businesses, and major insurance carriers with respect to serious bodily injury and death claims throughout the greater New Orleans area including
Lake St. Catherine (French: Lac Sainte-Catherine) a brackish-water lake that’s located in eastern Orleans Parish, within the town limits of New Orleans, between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne in Louisiana. Between Lake St. Catherine and Lake Borgne was the first Town of Lake Catherine. Established between Unknown Pass and Miller’s Ditch, it had been settled for railroad workers, trappers, hunters and fishermen.
To the north, between Lake St. Catherine and Lake Pontchartrain may be a nine-mile (14 km) long populated island referred to as the New Orleans East Land Bridge which had been well-populated since the 1920s, with several marinas, taverns, and restaurants, boat yards and docking facilities. Pre-Katrina the world total population was 754, not counting the weekend camp owners. On a Labor Day weekend the entire population of the world would reach two to 3 thousand with friends and family all joining together for the last big weekend before winter.
The New Orleans East Land Bridge is formed from five distinct residential areas: the Rigolets, Chef Pass, Greens Ditch, Lake St. Catherine, and Fort Pike Subdivision; all of which border Highway 90 in New Orleans East.
