Cankton Big Rig Accident Lawyer

Were you or someone you love injured in a collision with a big rig? If you were, or if a loved one was fatally injured, you could be entitled to recover financial compensation. Our Cankton big rig accident lawyer can help you identify the at-fault party, prove financial liability, and communicate with all relevant parties on your behalf.

Recovering damages after an accident can ensure you get the care you need to recuperate and start rebuilding your life. Our client-focused team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will not stop fighting for the compensation you need and deserve.

How Our Cankton Big Rig Accident Attorney Can Build Your Case

Building a strong case for financial recovery can take time and requires attention to detail, but our law firm can handle it for you. To bolster and support your case, we may:

  • Obtain your police, medical, and financial records
  • Promptly respond to your questions and concerns
  • Handle communication with all relevant parties
  • Collect and organize physical evidence and paperwork
  • Locate and interview lay and expert witnesses
  • Determine the financial value of your case
  • Negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurance provider
  • Take your case to trial if a settlement cannot be reached

When you hire our personal injury lawyer serving Cankton, LA, to represent you, we do all the hard work of building your case. Focus on your physical recovery or on helping a loved one through their recovery while we focus on fighting for your financial recovery.

How We Prove the At-Fault Party’s Negligence

In a big rig accident, there could be more than one negligent party. Potentially responsible parties include the trucker, his employer, and the manufacturer of the truck or its parts. You might also have a case against the companies responsible for servicing, maintaining, or loading the truck.

It can be hard to know where to assign liability on your own. We establish negligence by proving the at-fault party:

  • Owed you a duty of care
  • Breached their duty
  • Caused your injuries
  • Caused financial damages

Our big rig accident lawyer serving Cankton, LA, can help you determine who to hold accountable for post-accident financial recovery. If your case results in multiple at-fault parties, we can take on each insurance company for you.

It Costs Nothing to Put Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers to Work On Your Case

Our big rig accident lawyer serving Cankton will take your case on a contingency fee basis. We will cover all the upfront expenses related to your case, including:

  • Evidence collection
  • Court filing fees
  • Expert consultations

In lieu of traditional fees and retainers, we accept a percentage of your recovered damages as compensation. Your attorney only gets paid if you do.

Get Our Crankton Big Rig Accident Attorneys on Your Side Right Away

It is never too soon to seek legal support after a big rig accident. The earlier our team is involved in your case, the more time we have to investigate and build a strong case. In addition, the state limits the time you have to file a lawsuit if you choose to go down this legal path.

In general:

  • The personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date the accident occurred, according to CC Art. 3492
  • The wrongful death statute of limitations is two years from the date of a loved one’s demise, according to CC Art. 2315.2

When we represent you, our law firm can interpret the statute of limitations and file your lawsuit within the allotted time. However, you must reach out to us as soon as possible. The court may not allow you to file past the deadline. In that case, paying off your damages will be your responsibility.
