The first question any injured person should ask is "What is my lawyer's track record?" The answer to this question as it relates to Dué, Price, Guidry, Piedrahita & Andrews is nothing short of impressive. While many of the firm's accomplishments are shielded from disclosure by confidentiality agreements demanded by certain wrongdoers, over the past forty years, the attorneys in the firm have cumulatively obtained settlements, jury verdicts and judgments for injured victims in excess of $400 million, not including the landmark tobacco settlement, which generated $4.6 billion for the State of Louisiana, and the Crawfish Litigation that resulted in a $45 million recovery for crawfish farmers whose crops were damaged by a harmful pesticide.

It is not uncommon for our firm to obtain several settlements, jury verdicts or judgments in excess of $1 million for individual victims each year. A few of the firm's multi-million dollar settlements, jury verdicts and judgments that are not protected by confidentiality agreements are:

$68 million for burn injuries sustained in an industrial accident (part of a $158 million combined jury verdict)

$17 million for a diving injury resulting in quadriplegia
