Personal Injury Practice Areas | Manard Law

What we handle

Injury cases across southeast Louisiana.

Manard Law represents people hurt on the road, on the water, and on someone else’s property — and the families of those who didn’t survive. Whatever happened, the consultation is free and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.

Not sure which one fits your situation? You don’t have to know. Call and describe what happened — sorting it into the right claim is our job, not yours.

Car Accidents

Rear-end, intersection, hit-and-run, and uninsured motorist claims.

Truck Accidents

18-wheeler and commercial carrier crashes, including ELD evidence.

Motorcycle Accidents

When the unsurer blames the rider before reading the report.

Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists struck by drivers on city streets and parish roads.

General Personal Injury

Rideshare, dog bites, defective products, and other negligence.

Every Case we take

The Same Three Commitments

You Pay Nothing Unless We Win

No consultation fee, no retainer. Our fee comes out of the recovery — and we reduce it when necessary so you keep more than we do after liens and costs.

We Prepare It For Trial

Most cases settle. Settlements are priced against what your lawyer is prepared to do next, and this firm has tried more than a hundred cases to verdict.

You Talk to A Lawyer

Not a call center, and not a case manager who reads from a script. At a firm this size you know who is handling your file.

Before you wait

Louisiana gives you less time than you think

Louisiana’s filing deadline for most injury claims was one of the shortest in the country for decades. It changed in 2024, and which deadline applies to you depends on the date of your accident.

Claims against a government body — a parish, a transit authority, a public hospital — can carry notice requirements measured in months, not years.

Evidence runs out faster than the deadline does. Surveillance footage is overwritten in weeks, vehicles get repaired or scrapped, and witnesses move. The earlier we start, the more there is to work with.
