Louisiana Amputation Lawyers

Attorneys Helping Those Who've Suffered Catastrophic Crush Injuries

Losing a limb is a permanent loss, one that irrevocably changes your life. It’s not just about the physical absence; it’s the void it leaves in every aspect of your life, from eroding your financial stability to making entire types of recreation impossible. People who have undergone amputations often find themselves unable to do their jobs like they used to or take part in the hobbies that once filled their lives with joy. But the repercussions of amputations don’t just stop at the emotional and the functional; there’s a considerable financial toll. Amputations create a wide range of needs—from prosthetic limbs to adapting your home with ramps and modified bathrooms. Vehicles may need to be adapted for accessibility, too. 

All these can create financial instability, over and above the medical bills and lost wages.

Essentially, amputations take a devastating toll, both emotionally and financially. That’s why the Louisiana amputation injury lawyers at Clayton, Frugé & Ward fight for our clients to recover everything they need: all the wages they’ve lost and stand to lose in the future, the medical bills from initial hospitalization, and everything they’re likely to lose for the rest of their lives. We’ve won our clients more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements—we’re the firm to call.

Crush Injuries & Industries with High Risks

Accidents that lead to crush injuries are often precursors to limb loss. When part of the body is subjected to extreme force or pressure, that’s a crush injury. And they’re especially common in certain industries. Think construction, manufacturing, logistics, and agriculture—places where heavy machinery and high-risk environments are part of the daily routine.

Accountability: Who’s Really Responsible?

When an amputation occurs, especially in a work setting, it’s usually not a simple accident. It’s a tragic event caused by a chain of failures—failures that could have been prevented. And these failures are often the result of negligence or careless safety protocols. The sad truth is such negligence is often incentivized by corporate pressures—tight deadlines, profit expectations, or production quotas. And who sets these pressures? The decision-makers at the top of your company.

This brings us to a sobering point: the only way to hold a company accountable for their negligence is through civil law. Sometimes, a lawsuit is the only path to justice. If you’re going up against a corporation, you’ll need a legal team with the skills, experience, and resources to fight for you. That’s where Clayton, Frugé & Ward comes in. We’ve stood toe-to-toe with major companies, and our clients have recovered more than $1 billion as a result. Our record includes the largest single-injury verdict in Louisiana history—$117 million for an ambulance accident victim. We have experience you can trust.
