About Michael ›

I am a nationally recognized attorney specializing in personal injury and insurance claims from catastrophic events, such as hurricanes and environmental catastrophes. I founded of Mike Brandner Law to service clients in New Orleans, Hammond and throughout Louisiana. With over 20 years of litigation experience, I work tirelessly to help victims of car accidents, truck crashes, offshore injuries, wrongful death, and other incidents recover the compensation they deserve. Over the years, I’ve secured millions of dollars for clients across the Gulf South. I know firsthand what it’s like to be injured in a car wreck. After my own accident, I underwent multiple surgical procedures and fought the insurance company to reach a settlement that fully compensated me for my injuries. This experience gives me a unique perspective when advocating for my clients. Not every case settles, and I have spent the last two decades building extensive trial experience. I’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. I hold insurance companies accountable, ensuring they pay my clients what they are owed. My litigation experience includes arguing before the Supreme Court, where I helped change the interpretation of the statute of limitations for filing underinsured and uninsured motorist claims. After Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav, Ike, Isaac, Zeta, Helene, and Ida, I’ve represented both small businesses and large corporations in their business income loss claims, property damage claims, and insurance disputes. I’ve also worked with homeowners throughout the Gulf Coast, helping them navigate homeowner’s insurance claims, flood claims, content claims, and additional living expense claims caused by hurricane-force winds and flooding.
