Louisiana Ambulance Accident Attorneys
Louisiana Lawyers with Proven Experience in Ambulance Accident Cases
Ambulance accidents result in severe injuries, not only due to the severity of the crash, but due to the fact that ambulance passengers are typically already in fragile condition. Plaintiffs need more than condolences or apologies; they need justice. After decades of combined experience with injury law, Clayton, Frugé & Ward knows that more than most firms. In fact, our Louisiana ambulance accident lawyers won the state’s largest single-injury verdict for an ambulance accident victim: $117 million for a single mother and her children.
In short, we understand the complexity and emotional toll of these accidents.

What Is an Ambulance Accident Claim?
Ambulance accidents fall under personal injury claims, where a person who has been harmed seeks compensation from the entity that caused them harm. Whether you were a patient, a pedestrian, or an employee, you may be entitled to compensation for physical injuries, lost wages, and medical expenses incurred by your injuries.
Ambulance accident claims often involve multiple parties. For instance, a typical ambulance accident might involve the driver, the ambulance company, and the ambulance company’s insurer. In situations where the ambulance crashed into another commercial vehicle, a case might involve twice as many parties. A law firm with a track record like ours can have an enormous impact on the outcome of an ambulance accident claim.
How Long Do You Have to Sue for an Ambulance Accident in Louisiana?
If the incident occurred on or after July 1, 2024, Louisiana law typically allows two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit; if the accident occurred before July 1, 2024, you have just one year to sue for damages, with few exceptions. This short window requires prompt action. Due to the complexities and the short window for filing a claim, it's crucial to consult with an experienced ambulance accident attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can help navigate the legal process, identify all potential sources of liability, and ensure that all necessary steps are taken within the legal time frame.
