Alexandria Forklift Truck Accident Lawyer

 

Were you or someone you love injured in an accident involving a forklift? If so, you could hold the other party accountable for their negligence. Let our Alexandria forklift truck accident lawyer go to bat for you. They can take on the insurance company and fight hard to obtain the best possible outcome for you.

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers was founded in 2014 and has over 350 years of combined personal injury experience. If we represent you, we will work to recover compensation for your medical bills, income loss, pain and suffering, and more.

Possible Economic and Non-Economic Damages After a Truck Accident

According to National Safety Council (NSC) data, studies cite 7,290 non-fatal injuries and 70 fatalities related to forklift accidents in 2020. If you or a loved one was injured in a truck accident, our Alexandria truck accident lawyer can help you recover compensation for your injuries and related expenses and losses, including:

  • Medical costs for past and future care
  • Lost income
  • Reduced loss of earning potential
  • Property damage expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Scarring
  • Mental anguish

If a family member was fatally injured in a forklift truck accident, your family could be entitled to wrongful death damages. We can help eligible family members fight for appropriate compensation within the allotted time.

Our Truck Accident Attorney Will Clarify the Statute of Limitations

Louisiana law generally gives you two years to file a lawsuit after a negligence-based accident. The filing deadline, called the statute of limitations, can vary based on the age of the injured party and the outcome of the accident. Accordingly:

  • The statutory clock on personal injury lawsuits starts running on the date of the accident, according to CC Art. 3493.1.
  • The statutory clock on wrongful death lawsuits starts running on the date of a loved one’s demise, according to CC Art. 2315.2.

It is never too soon to get our forklift accident lawyer in Alexandria, LA, involved in your case. With sufficient notice from you, our team will do everything we can to file your lawsuit on time.

Our Investigation Will Identify the Cause of Your Forklift Truck Accident

To pursue compensation, you have to prove the negligence that caused your accident. When we represent you, our forklift truck accident attorney in Alexandria, LA, does this task for you. Potential causes and contributing factors can include:

  • The forklift malfunctioned during use
  • The driver using the forklift improperly
  • Driver inexperience or fatigue
  • No or improper forklift maintenance
  • The forklift tipping over during a sharp turn
  • Being struck or crushed by a forklift
  • Falling onto or off of a forklift
  • Falling when the forklift struck another object

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we know your case requires proof of the legal elements of negligence — duty, breach, causation, and damages. Our investigation will document these elements for you.

We Will Compile, Organize, and Submit Evidence on Your Behalf

The majority of personal injury cases are settled out of court, as this is typically the result of evidence that indicates negligence. Our legal team knows how important your evidence file is, so we can build one that supports the validity of your case. It will contain:

  • Internal incident and accident review reports
  • Medical records, bills, and written prognosis
  • Employment records and other proof of income
  • Photos of the accident scene and your injuries
  • Statements from lay and expert witnesses
  • The forklift’s repair and maintenance records

Leave evidence collection to us. Our team will handle the details of compiling information rather than tax you or your loved ones with it.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
