Flatbed trucks are, by design, much larger and heavier and carry much heavier loads than most other vehicles. As such, they can do very serious damage if an accident occurs. An experienced Alexandria flatbed truck accident lawyer will fight to recover your losses.
Laborde Earles wants to be there for you as you fight for compensation for a truck-related injury. Not only would filing a lawsuit help you financially, but it could also enable you to hold the liable party responsible for their actions. Our Alexandria truck accident lawyers will fight to secure the best possible outcome for your case.
Let Our Alexandria Truck Accident Lawyers Do the Work
Our flatbed truck accident lawyer in Alexandria, LA, could help you recover compensation. Managing a lawsuit takes a great deal of time and effort. For example, we might have to:
- Visit the scene of the accident
- Request documentary evidence from your doctor, your insurer, and other sources
- Conduct interviews with you, the truck driver, witnesses, and other parties
- Run calculations to determine how much compensation you need
- Negotiate with the liable party’s insurance company until they agree to pay a fair settlement
- Take the liable party to court and represent you in a trial
- Speak with the liable party and their representatives multiple times through various channels (phone, email, etc.)
- Submit evidence to the court and question witnesses on the stand
The statute of limitations in Louisiana is very short. You generally have just one year to file a lawsuit, according to CC Art. 3492. Our personal injury lawyers can work to meet the deadline and streamline your case as much as possible.

ClientCompensation for Truck Accident Losses and Injuries
Per the Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development, Rapides Parish, where Alexandria is located, saw 29 accidents involving some sort of truck in 2022. An additional three truck accidents in the parish involved at least one fatality.
Such collisions can cause many types of damage, so you have the right to seek compensation for losses connected with your:
Physical and Emotional Health
Traffic accidents can lead to all manner of injuries, both physical and mental. You may find yourself struggling with:
- A concussion or traumatic brain injury
- Broken bones
- Lacerations or deep cuts
- Lost digits, limbs, or organs
- Emotional trauma
- Mental illness
Such injuries may cost a lot of money to treat, especially if they are long-term or chronic injuries. More importantly, the physical and psychological symptoms they cause can affect your quality of life, your relationships, and your mood.
Vehicle
A flatbed truck can easily damage or destroy a smaller vehicle. A lawsuit could allow you to get reimbursement for the cost of repairing or replacing your car. You might even get reimbursement for your car’s diminished value following the accident.
Career
Depending on your job and your injury, you could have to miss a lot of work. In the most serious cases, you might have to stop working entirely, giving up your salary and the job benefits that you depend on.
If your injuries prevent you from earning the same amount of money as before, you could ask the liable party to reimburse you for:
- Wages you missed out on during your recovery
- Reduced earning capacity if you cannot earn your pre-injury income
Lost Loved One
If your loved one passed away after a flatbed truck accident in Alexandria, we are so sorry for your loss. Louisiana allows the families of wrongful death victims to receive compensation for:
- Your loved one’s medical bills
- Loss of financial support
- Funeral expenses
Our wrongful death lawyers can handle your case while you grieve in peace.
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 | ClientWhy Hire Our Alexandria Flatbed Truck Accident Lawyer?
A traffic collision requires you to speak with many different people and, all too often, spend money you do not have on many different services, especially medical care. After all that, it is natural to wonder if you should forget about hiring an attorney—or about filing a lawsuit altogether.
Instead of handling your case on your own, consider the following:
- The insurance company does not want to pay any more than they have to, so they have every reason to try to undermine your case.
- The liable party may try to evade responsibility for the accident by blaming you.
- The legal system can be very unwelcoming to laypeople, so you might have trouble understanding what is expected of you and how to fulfill your obligations.
- It can take a long time (months or years) to settle a lawsuit, and without a lawyer, you would have to handle your entire case by yourself.
While our flatbed truck accident attorneys in Alexandria, LA, manage all legal tasks and regularly update you, you would have the chance to focus on medical treatment, spend time with your family, and get your life back on track.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
