Parties Who May Be Responsible in Your Baton Rouge, LA, Big Rig Crash

After getting hurt in a collision with a big rig, you may be unsure of what to do next. Although you may be anxious to recover compensation for your damages, your attorney must first determine who is responsible for causing your accident and what legal options work best for your case.

The Truck Driver

Typically, driver error leads to truck crashes. This occurs when a truck driver operates their vehicle in an unsafe manner. Examples of negligent driving in a big rig accident case include the following:

  • Driving over the speed limit
  • Changing lanes without a turn signal
  • Making illegal turns
  • Driving while fatigued
  • Drowsy driving
  • Impaired driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Tailgating
  • Road rage
  • Failure to stop or yield

The Truck Part Manufacturer or the Truck Owner

Also, defective truck parts can cause big rig accidents. If the owner of the big rig failed to make necessary repairs, used defective parts to save money, or otherwise failed to take action to fix a broken part, you could hold them financially accountable. Truck parts manufacturers and distributors may also share liability.

The Trucking Company

The trucking company that employed the driver may be partially responsible for your damages as well. It is their responsibility to properly vet truckers, maintain the safety of the big rigs, and otherwise ensure the truck’s overall maintenance. Failure to do so may constitute negligence.

Your big rig accident lawyer in Baton Rouge, LA, can conduct an in-depth investigation to determine who is responsible for your 18-wheeler accident injuries.

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

The Value of Your Recoverable Damages in a Big Rig Collision in Baton Rouge

Our big rig attorney in Baton Rouge, LA, can review your case to determine your eligibility for damages. You could have the right to seek compensation for losses, such as:

  • Economic damages: These losses are monetary. Examples include loss of income, medical costs, property damages, loss of household services, loss of potential future earnings, and any other out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Non-economic damages: These losses are not financial and instead describe how your big rig accident injuries have affected your life in physical and emotional aspects. Examples include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, diminished quality of life, scarring and disfigurement, and other emotional and lifestyle damages.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
