Amputation

The Baton Rouge, Louisiana amputation attorneys at Dué Guidry Piedrahita Andrews Courrege L.C. have handled many serious accident cases involving amputation injuries. We understand the special needs and limitations of amputees and the effects that amputation injuries have on different people and on varying professions. For example, our Louisiana amputation injury lawyers represented a quadriplegic who was able to lift his arms and feed himself before losing the fingers on his dominant hand to a burn injury.
