Standing Up for Communities Harmed by Dangerous Products and Corporate Negligence

When large corporations release unsafe drugs, defective medical devices, or toxic products, everyday people pay the price. These injuries are rarely isolated. They happen to thousands of families across the country, including right here in Louisiana.

Our team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers is committed to standing up for victims who never should have been hurt in the first place. As your Louisiana mass tort lawyer, we investigate harmful products, prepare your claim, and fight to make sure powerful companies are held accountable. You focus on healing. We focus on building the strongest case possible.

We currently represent individuals in major national litigations involving defective drugs, unsafe medical devices, and toxic exposures. Every client receives personal, compassionate guidance backed by the resources and experience that have helped us recover over one billion dollars for injured Louisianans.

What Is a Mass Tort and Do You Qualify?

A mass tort allows injured people across the country to take legal action against the same defendant for similar harm. Unlike a class action, each person maintains their own individual case and potential compensation. This ensures your injuries and losses are valued based on your unique situation. You may qualify for a mass tort claim if:

  • You used a drug or product later found to be defective
  • You suffered documented injuries linked to that drug or product
  • You lived or worked near a toxic exposure site
  • Your medical records confirm harm consistent with known risks
  • You are a surviving family member of someone whose death may be connected to the product

If you are unsure whether you qualify, our team can review your medical history, timeline, and exposure to determine your eligibility.

How a Louisiana Mass Tort Lawyer Builds Your Case

Mass tort litigation requires extensive investigation, nationwide coordination, and detailed medical review. When you trust Laborde Earles with your claim, we handle every part of the process, including:

  • Reviewing your medical records and product history
  • Confirming your eligibility for specific litigations
  • Coordinating with national experts and co-counsel
  • Preserving evidence and documenting the progression of your injuries
  • Calculating the full financial impact of your condition
  • Preparing your claim for settlement negotiations or trial
  • Keeping you informed as the nationwide litigation progresses

We treat every client like family. That means personal attention, honest communication, and relentless advocacy from day one.

Potential Compensation in Mass Tort Cases

Every client’s recovery is individualized and based on the severity of their injuries. Depending on the case, recoverable damages may include:

  • Medical treatment and ongoing care
  • Prescription medications and specialist visits
  • Lost income and reduced earning ability
  • Physical and emotional pain
  • Loss of mobility or long-term disability
  • Cost of revision or corrective surgery
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Wrongful death losses for surviving family members

We work with medical experts, economists, and life-care planners to make sure the value of your case reflects both current and future needs.

Mass Tort Claims Clear Answers to Important Questions

How long do I have to file a mass tort claim?

Deadlines vary depending on the litigation and the date of injury. Because these cases involve complex timelines, we recommend speaking with us as soon as possible.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

No. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win compensation for you.

Will my case be part of a class action?

No. Mass torts are not class actions. You keep control of your individual claim, and your compensation is based on your unique damages.

What if I’m not sure my injury is connected to the product?

We can review your medical history and compare it to scientific findings, manufacturer data, and current litigation research.

Do I have to go to court?

Most mass tort claims settle without trial, but if a court appearance becomes necessary, our team will be with you every step of the way.

Do you have more questions?

Our team is here to answer every question about your case—clearly and honestly.
