What plaintiffs need most is a result that actually helps them rebuild their lives. At a minimum, accident victims need enough to clear away medical debt, cover future rehabilitation or treatment, and replace all the wages they might have earned if they’d never been hurt. For serious accidents, a result typically needs to be at least seven figures to cover all those costs.
Our firm has won some of the biggest results in Louisiana history, including:
- $171 million for a plant explosion
- $117 million for an ambulance accident
- $75 million in a confidential settlement
- $65 million for lead paint exposure in a housing project
- $60 million for a plant explosion
The fact that our Baton Rouge injury law firm has recovered over $1 billion is proof of our skill, but it’s also a testament to our willingness to get plaintiffs get what they need, even in tough situations. Clayton, Frugé & Ward has taken on numerous cases other lawyers rejected because we aren’t intimidated by uphill battles or tough fights. Instead, we do everything in our power to strengthen each plaintiff’s case to maximize their recovery.
The Most Common Cause of Accidental Injury or Death in Louisiana
The most common cause of injury in Louisiana is motor vehicle accidents. In fact, our state has one of the highest car accident rates in the nation. In 2023, car accidents caused over 60,000 injuries and 800 fatalities.
For many people, those injuries will be life-changing—subjecting them to a lifetime of struggling to make ends meet, afford medical care, or to find a job that can accommodate a long-term disability. As Baton Rouge injury lawyers, we aim to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
