The firm adds a former defense shareholder’s trial experience in trucking and catastrophic injury litigation to its New Orleans personal injury team.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, UNITED STATES, September 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Chopin Law Firm has added Raven Fielding Benoit to its New Orleans team as a personal injury attorney. Benoit will represent injured individuals and families across Louisiana, bringing a defense-side perspective from her years as a shareholder at a prominent New Orleans-area defense firm, where she represented insurance companies, trucking corporations, and manufacturers in complex injury litigation.

During her time in defense litigation, Benoit handled complex transportation, commercial trucking, and products liability claims, and took numerous jury and bench trials to verdict. Her practice included defending high-stakes claims involving seven-, eight-, and nine-figure demands. She also served as lead partner of a 24/7 Emergency Response Team, mobilizing directly to accident scenes to manage early investigations and preserve evidence before it could be lost.

“We are excited to welcome Raven to the firm,” said Justin Chopin, owner and managing partner of The Chopin Law Firm. “Her trial background and knowledge of defense strategy strengthen how we evaluate claims and build cases for our clients. Having spent years on the other side of complex litigation, she understands how insurance companies and defense counsel approach a case, and that perspective helps us protect the interests of injured victims from the start.”

As a personal injury attorney at The Chopin Law Firm, Benoit brings a defense-side understanding of how insurance companies, trucking companies, and manufacturers evaluate claims and build their cases. Her knowledge of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and experience directing emergency accident investigations give her a practical advantage in building cases involving serious and complex injuries.

Benoit earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and her Juris Doctor from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, where she took part in the Moot Court Program and served as a Rule XX student practitioner with the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office. She is licensed to practice in all Louisiana state and federal courts, as well as Texas state court, and has been recognized as a Louisiana Super Lawyers Rising Star. Outside the courtroom, she stays involved in the local community, including her work supporting the Humane Society of Louisiana and The Good Shepherd School.
