People choose Charbonnet Law Firm because pedestrian cases in New Orleans are won or lost on local detail. Where the crash happened, how that intersection usually behaves, how juries here tend to view pedestrians, all of it matters. Our attorneys grew up here and have spent decades handling these cases in the same courts where they are decided.
That local experience also shows up in how we build cases. We know which intersections along Canal, Claiborne, and the French Quarter tend to rely on camera footage, which ones depend on witnesses, and how quickly that evidence disappears if it’s not preserved early. That timing often changes the direction of a claim.
Pedestrian cases also tend to involve serious injuries, making valuation more complex. We work with treating doctors and specialists early, so the medical impact is properly documented, not minimized or rushed into a low settlement range by an insurer.
There’s no upfront cost to start. The firm works on a contingency basis, so the focus remains on building the case properly and ensuring the outcome reflects the real harm, not an early insurance estimate.
