About Bart
Bart Bernard earned his J.D. from Louisiana State University — Alexandria in 1995. He completed his legal education in central Louisiana and went on to practice in his home state. The law degree set a clear trajectory toward litigation and client advocacy.
He founded and serves as the principal of the Bart Bernard Personal Injury Law Office. The practice is based in Louisiana and handles matters arising under the state's courts and regulatory framework. Over the years he has built a practice that concentrates on individual plaintiff representation rather than corporate defense work.
Bernard has been involved in several professional organizations. His memberships between 2019 and 2020 included the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Elite Lawyers of America, the American Association for Justice, and Louisiana Trial Lawyers. Those affiliations reflect participation in national and state-level groups that focus on trial practice for injured parties.
In his day-to-day work Bernard handles a range of personal injury matters. He takes on cases involving automobile collisions, workplace injuries, wrongful death claims, and disputes over insurance benefits. His work spans pre-suit investigation, settlement negotiation, and courtroom litigation when cases proceed to trial.
Clients who come to him typically seek help untangling claims against insurers and other parties. He develops factual records, consults with experts when necessary, and files suit when negotiations stall. The office places emphasis on preparing cases for trial even when the goal is a negotiated outcome.
Courtroom work and motions practice are regular parts of the office routine. Bernard has litigated in Louisiana state courts and managed evidence presentation, witness preparation, and trial strategy. He also handles appeals and post-judgment matters when cases require continued legal action after a verdict or settlement.
Outside of litigation tasks, his practice involves client counseling about insurance rights and the practical consequences of settlement offers. He guides clients through the legal process and explains potential timelines and outcomes. He continues to maintain his practice in Louisiana and represents individuals in personal injury cases.
He currently practices personal injury law at the Bart Bernard Personal Injury Law Office in Louisiana.
