The Berniard Law Firm has been active in handling personal injury claims and general legal counsel matters in New Orleans for years now. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the devastation that caused the area, the Berniard Law Firm handled hundreds of clients' denied insurance claims. By suing insurance companies and getting clients the settlements or verdicts they deserved, our firm was able to help families repair and rebuild their homes and begin the long road back to a semblance of normalcy. When rebuilding led to the unknowing use of Chinese drywall by some local homeowners, the Berniard Law Firm moved quickly to file suit and represent these families in court. After Dow Chemical released ethyl acrylate into the air and caused countless New Orleans residents to get sick, our firm was the first to file suit in order to insure that the matter would not be overlooked and that those affected had their day in court.

Since Hurricane Katrina, the Berniard Law Firm has actively helped New Orleans residents handle various forms of claims against insurance companies for wind, flood or other storm-related damages that are often blankly denied by policy providers. In securing millions of dollars for Gulf Coast homeowners and recognizing the need for people's rights to be upheld in court, our firm has successfully grown to help New Orleanians in a variety of ways. As co-counsel of several class actions dealing with matters such as the cable monopoly in this city, the Berniard Law Firm has expanded its reach and continued to strive to help make sure the law is followed by both local and national businesses.
