Who Can Be Held Liable for Your Truck Accident Damages?

We must establish fault in 18-wheeler accident cases for you to recover compensation. We can do this by proving the at-fault party was negligent. We can prove negligence by satisfying the following four elements: 

  • Duty of Care: The liable party had a duty of care to keep you safe.
  • Breach of Duty of Care: The liable party did not uphold their duty of care by acting in a negligent or reckless manner. 
  • Causation: The liable party’s negligence was the cause of the accident and your injuries. 
  • Damages: You suffered damages because of the accident. We can prove this using evidence such as medical bills, police reports, or any invoices you have. 

Some examples of negligence could include: 

  • Failure to properly maintain the 18-wheeler truck 
  • Scheduling the driver to work too many hours, which can lead to fatigue and distracted driving 
  • Speeding or driving in a reckless manner  
  • Drinking, eating, texting, or making phone calls while driving
  • Overloading the 18-wheeler, which can make the vehicle off-balance and accident-prone 
  • Driving on roads that are too small to suit an 18-wheeler truck 

Parties that could be held liable for your accident include the truck driver, the trucking company, or a maintenance worker. We will identify one or multiple liable parties and help you seek compensation from them.

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

Make Sure To Take Action on Your Lawsuit Quickly

You don’t have long to file a lawsuit in Cankton, LA. According to the personal injury statute of limitations, CC Art. 3492, you have two years to file a lawsuit. If your lawsuit is not filed before time runs out, the Cankton civil courts could refuse to hear your case. This means you may be barred from recovering compensation. 

Similarly, you will have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit if your loved one was fatally injured in an 18-wheeler crash. This is stated in the wrongful death statute of limitations, CC Art. 2315.2. 

If you are unsure when the statute of limitation expires or are hoping to get started on your case as soon as possible, contact our firm. We can help you understand your filing deadlines and file your lawsuit on time.
