Meet Brian Page

Brian’s path to personal injury law wasn’t a straight line.

Growing up, his parents joked that he would either become a lawyer or a used car salesman because he always had another question or another argument. During college, a girlfriend encouraged him to take a law course because he enjoyed debating ideas. What started as curiosity quickly became a passion as he discovered the analytical reasoning and problem-solving at the heart of the legal profession.

While attending law school, Brian began working for a personal injury attorney. At first, he admits he was hesitant to tell people what type of law he practiced because of the stereotypes surrounding personal injury lawyers. That perspective changed once he saw firsthand how insurance companies often work to minimize or deny valid claims instead of helping people during one of the most difficult periods of their lives.

Helping injured people level the playing field became his calling.

Following Hurricane Katrina, Brian represented hundreds of Louisiana homeowners in insurance claims arising from catastrophic property damage. That experience reinforced what continues to drive his career today: ensuring insurance companies are held accountable when they fail to treat people fairly.

Today, as Chief Legal Officer at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, Brian continues to advocate for injury victims while helping guide the firm’s legal strategy and commitment to client service.

Brian’s Philosophy on Personal Injury Law

Brian believes that personal injury law is about far more than resolving insurance claims. For many clients, an accident affects nearly every part of daily life, from getting to work and attending medical appointments to caring for family and managing financial uncertainty.

As Brian sees it, his role is to help clients understand what they’re facing, advocate for their interests, and hold insurance companies accountable when they fail to meet their obligations:

“The most rewarding part of practicing personal injury law is taking the journey with clients from the beginning – when they’re injured, confused, and full of questions – and helping guide them toward a resolution. Standing between an insurance company and my clients is where I thrive.”

That means preparing every case as though it will go to trial. In Brian’s experience, that preparation changes how insurance companies respond, and it has the potential to change outcomes.

Practice Areas & Experience

Over two decades of practice have given Brian experience handling nearly every type of personal injury claim. While every case is unique, he frequently represents clients in cases involving:

Brian has developed extensive experience anticipating insurance company defenses, evaluating medical evidence, and helping clients understand what to expect throughout every stage of their case.

As an avid motorcycle rider himself, he has a particular passion for representing injured motorcyclists who are too often overlooked or blamed after crashes caused by inattentive drivers.

What Clients Can Expect When Working With Brian

Recovering after an accident is about more than pursuing compensation.

Brian believes every client deserves an attorney who understands how an injury affects daily life, from transportation challenges and medical treatment to financial uncertainty and emotional stress.

Rather than treating every case the same, he works to meet clients where they are, taking the time to understand their individual circumstances before developing a legal strategy tailored to their needs.

His approach is built on four principles:

  • Listening before advising
  • Communicating honestly and clearly
  • Preparing every case as if it will go to trial
  • Never backing down from insurance companies

“I always try to put myself in my client’s shoes. Understanding what they’re going through helps me better advocate for the compensation they deserve.”

Brian’s Insights on Personal Injury Law

“Insurance companies don’t win by paying every claim fairly.”

“One of the biggest misconceptions people have is believing the insurance company will simply do the right thing. If that were always true, there wouldn’t be a need for personal injury lawyers.”

“Documentation matters.”

“The foundation of every injury claim starts with documenting your injuries and following through with medical treatment. Insurance companies look for every opportunity to argue someone wasn’t really hurt.”

“Every case deserves individual attention.”

“No two injuries – and no two clients – are exactly alike. My job is to understand each person’s situation, explain their options, and help them make informed decisions throughout the process.”

Rooted in New Orleans.
Serving Clients Across the Gulf South.

When Brian moved to New Orleans in 2002, he expected to practice law in a new city. What he didn’t expect was to find a place that quickly felt like home.

Following Hurricane Katrina, he made the decision to stay, rebuild, and invest in the city’s future. Today, he and his wife – a lifelong New Orleanian – are raising their two sons while remaining actively involved in the local community and culture.

As Chief Legal Officer, Brian also spends significant time working from Trust Guss Injury Lawyers’ Houston office, helping oversee legal operations while continuing to represent injured clients throughout the region.

Frequently Asked Questions for Brian

“When I first started working for a personal injury attorney during law school, I wasn’t sure it was the path I wanted to take. Like a lot of people, I had heard the stereotypes about personal injury lawyers. That changed once I saw firsthand how insurance companies often try to minimize or deny valid claims instead of helping people through one of the most difficult times in their lives.

From that point on, I knew I wanted to spend my career representing injured people – not insurance companies – and helping clients pursue the justice and compensation they deserve.”

“For me, great client service starts with meeting people where they are. Every client comes to me with different concerns, different injuries, and different challenges, so I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

My job is to understand what life looks like for each client under their particular circumstances, fully explain their legal options, and help them make informed decisions about both their case and their medical care. I believe clients deserve honest communication, practical guidance, and an attorney who takes the time to listen.”

“As someone who rides motorcycles myself, I’ve always had a special appreciation for the risks motorcyclists face every time they get on the road. Too often, I see crashes where a driver says they ‘didn’t see’ the motorcycle—a phrase riders hear far too often.

Helping injured motorcyclists recover physically and financially after someone else’s negligence is especially meaningful to me. I understand both the freedom that comes with riding and the unique challenges riders often face after an accident, whether that’s overcoming unfair stereotypes or dealing with serious injuries.”

“Don’t rely on advice from friends, social media, or anyone who doesn’t know the specific facts of your situation. Every case is different, and even experienced lawyers can disagree about how a case should be evaluated.

That’s why I always encourage people to ask questions. Consultations are free, and sometimes a simple conversation can give you the clarity you need to understand your rights and your options.”

“A strong case starts with good documentation. Insurance companies evaluate claims based on the information that’s available to them, so seeking medical treatment, following your doctor’s recommendations, and accurately documenting your injuries can make a significant difference.

I also tell clients to remember that insurance companies are businesses. Their goal is often to pay as little as possible on a claim, so it’s important to build a case that’s supported by clear medical records, consistent treatment, and a thorough understanding of how the accident has affected your life.”

“Hurricane Katrina changed the trajectory of my career in ways I never could have anticipated. After the storm, I represented hundreds of Louisiana homeowners whose insurance companies tried to avoid paying legitimate property damage claims by shifting blame elsewhere.

That experience reinforced something I’ve carried with me ever since: insurance companies don’t always do the right thing on their own. Sometimes it takes an experienced advocate to hold them accountable and make sure people receive the compensation they’re entitled to under their policies.

It also deepened my connection to New Orleans. I chose to stay after Katrina, rebuild alongside the community, and continue serving the city that my family now proudly calls home.”
