Biography

Mike Brandner Law is a nationally recognized law firm specializing in personal injury and insurance claims from catastrophic events, such as hurricanes and environmental catastrophes. Mike founded Mike Brandner Law to service clients in New Orleans, Hammond and throughout Louisiana. With over 20 years of litigation experience, Mike Brandner Law works tirelessly to help victims of car accidents, truck crashes, offshore injuries, wrongful death, and other incidents recover the compensation they deserve. Over the years, the Firm has secured millions of dollars for clients across the Gulf South.Mike knows firsthand what it’s like to be injured in a car wreck. After his own accident, he underwent multiple surgical procedures and fought the insurance company to reach a settlement that fully compensated him for his injuries. This experience gives the Firm a unique perspective when advocating for our clients.Not every case settles, and we have spent the last two decades building extensive trial experience. We’ve tried cases across the country, winning numerous multi-million-dollar verdicts for clients dealing with severe wrecks, traumatic brain injuries, and Jones Act claims. We hold insurance companies accountable, ensuring they pay our clients what they are owed. Our litigation experience includes arguing before the Supreme Court, where we helped change the interpretation of the statute of limitations for filing underinsured and uninsured motorist claims.
