Arnaudville Truck Accident Lawyer

If you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident, you may need to pursue financial recovery to protect your future. Truck accidents can result in serious injuries with long-reaching effects on your health, economic status, and ability to work.

Lawsuits for truck accidents are particularly tricky as there can be multiple parties involved, including the driver, the trucking company, their insurance adjusters, and even the manufacturer of the truck itself. The possibilities go on and on. Establishing who is at fault can be a lengthy and complicated process.

A truck accident lawyer serving Arnaudville can help you overcome these hurdles and help promote a smooth legal process. If you have been involved in a truck accident, contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777.

Leading Causes of Truck Accidents

When a truck accident happens, the damage can be catastrophic. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there were 4,711 fatalities involving large trucks in 2018. Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) offers a grim prediction that unless immediate action is taken to reduce driver error, road traffic crashes will rise to the 7th leading cause of death by 2030.

Due to their size, maneuvering a truck can be exceptionally difficult. Trucks need more time to brake when compared to passenger vehicles. These violent impacts can leave the occupants of smaller cars with devastating or fatal injuries.

While the National Safety Council  reports that 94% of traffic accidents are the result of driver error, some other causes of collisions may include:

  • Speeding
  • Driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or fatigue
  • Distraction or inattention
  • Poorly maintained trucks
  • Mechanical failure
  • Defective parts
  • Inexperienced drivers
  • Poor weather conditions

Of course, this is not an exhaustive list of the reasons why a collision may occur. When you work with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we can work to determine why your accident occurred. Once we do this, we can begin the process of deciding who should be responsible for your damages.

How an Arnaudville Truck Accident Lawyer Can Help Your Case

If you were involved in a truck accident, we recommend that you stay at the scene of the crash and file a police report. Depending on your mental and physical state, taking photographs or videos of the scene may also bolster your account of events. However, we understand that the whirlwind of activity during an accident may prevent you from gathering information.

If this is true in your situation, when you work with our legal team, we may be able to collect:

  • Identifying information about the truck
  • The truck driver’s license number and employer
  • Names and addresses of other witnesses
  • Insurance company information and policy numbers
  • Information from the black box installed on the truck
  • Maintenance records about the vehicle
  • Police reports about the accident

Additionally, to provide further evidence for your claim, we may be able to bring in the expertise of accident reconstruction specialists to weigh in on how your accident occurred.

Our experience gives us vast knowledge of trucking industry rules and regulations that we can put to work for you. We can approach all parties involved to collect critical evidence on your behalf while you recover from your injuries.

We Can Pursue Compensation to Cover Your Mounting Costs

The costs that can arise from a collision with a truck can be expensive and unpredictable. When you work with a truck accident lawyer serving Arnaudville, we can examine the details of your case and estimate the total value of your losses. While there is no statistic available that reveals the average cost of compensation for a truck accident, we can work to have your damages covered.

Possible awards for compensation may include:

  • Past and ongoing medical costs
  • Loss of earnings
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Physical limitations
  • Emotional distress
  • Pain and suffering
  • Wrongful death

The team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers understands how difficult it can be for you to focus on your recovery while at the same time worrying about the legal process. For more information, call (337) 777-7777 today.

Time Limits Can Affect Your Claim

There are many benefits in promptly seeking legal action following an accident. For example, in comparison to other states, Louisiana has a short window for filing civil action. Under the state’s statute of limitations, you have two years from the date of the accident to pursue damages from the other party. There is a similar procedure for wrongful death claims. In the unfortunate event that a loved one passed away due to an accident, the statute still imposes two years for litigation beginning from the date of the victim’s death. After this time has elapsed, you will not usually be able to file a claim. However, depending on the circumstances of your accident, this timeline may vary. A legal professional can provide you with more information about how Louisiana’s statute of limitations may apply to you.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
