Most personal injury cases settle out of court. If settlement negotiations are prolonged, or a favorable offer is not made, we can file a lawsuit and argue your case in court.
Our Legal Team Also Handles Proof of Negligence
Negligence in truck accident cases has four legal components—duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. Our legal team can collect evidence that proves negligence and also helps identify the at-fault party (or parties). Possible liable parties include:
- The truck driver
- The truck driver’s employer
- The truck’s manufacturer
- The manufacturer of a defective part
If your case involves more than one at-fault party, our big rig accident lawyers can explain your financial recovery options. Our goal is to obtain the best outcome for you by holding all negligent parties responsible for their actions.

In lieu of hourly fees or a hefty retainer, we simply accept a percentage of your settlement or verdict.

Our Law Firm Never Stops Fighting for Injured Clients
A previous personal injury client says this about our efforts to secure damages:
“I knew the hospital bill was going to be way more than we could imagine. Digger helped me a lot. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be in the position I am right now. I would have nothing. He took care of everything for me [and] got me back on my feet.” — Carl
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientCollecting Evidence Is a Key Part of Any Accident Case
Very few personal injury cases end up in court. Instead, most are resolved with an insurance settlement—especially when the evidence indicates negligence. Our law firm can build a robust evidence file for your case that includes:
- Truck accident report
- Medical records and bills
- Written prognosis
- Income statements
- Accident scene photos
- Photos of your injuries
- Witness statements
We can also obtain evidence that might be hard to access on your own, such as the truck driver’s log book, their training and driving records, and truck maintenance records. No two cases are exactly alike, so your case might result in evidence not listed here. Whatever evidence we uncover, we can use it to show the negligent party’s financial liability.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
ClientAccident Victims Must Comply With the Statute of Limitations
According to CC Art. 3492, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit in Louisiana. If you lost your loved one, CC Art. 2315.2 generally gives you two years from the date of their demise to file your wrongful death lawsuit.
Failing to file your lawsuit on time could mean:
- The courts will not allow you to file
- Your case will be dismissed without being heard
- You inadvertently forfeit your right to recover damages
Many factors can cause the statute of limitations to fluctuate, making compliance more difficult. Let our big rig accident attorneys handle all deadlines for you to ensure that you do not run out of time.
