Catahoula Fatal Truck Accident Lawyer

If you’ve lost a loved one in a fatal truck accident in Catahoula, Louisiana, then Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers wants to help you. Our Catahoula fatal truck accident lawyers may be able to help you recover compensation from the party that caused the accident.

If you have bills piling up because of the collision, or if you have just been severely affected by the loss of a loved one, our truck accident lawyer can handle your case during this difficult time. Our law firm operates exclusively in Louisiana, and we’re dedicated to making sure our clients recover the money they need. We can review your situation today during a free case review.

We Fight for Louisiana’s Truck Accident Victims

Laborde Earles has been representing the people of Louisiana for years, helping them to get back on their feet after road accidents. Our personal injury attorneys have 100-plus years of combined experience that we can use for you. We collectively recovered more than $200 million for our clients in various personal injury cases.

Here’s what we’ve been able to do for other victims of truck accidents:

  • $7,000,000 judgment for an injured 18-wheeler driver
  • $2,700,000 settlement for an 18-wheeler accident victim
  • $1,800,000 settlement for an 18-wheeler accident victim

Results are unique to each case, but the awards we recover for our clients demonstrate our commitment to their financial recovery. After we learn of the circumstances of the accident that caused your loved one’s death, we’ll go to work researching evidence that supports your case against the liable party. We’ll look at police reports, traffic light camera footage, dashboard camera footage, witness accounts, and anything else that will help us prove what happened.

Regardless of who we take legal action against – whether it’s the driver or a trucking company’s insurance company – we’ll fight to hold them accountable. We’ll also do everything we can to recover as much in damages as we can.

Recoverable Compensation in a Catahoula Fatal Truck Accident Case

Our wrongful death attorney serving Catahoula can help you seek damages for the following and more:

  • Your loved one’s final medical bills
  • Reimbursement for funeral or burial expenses
  • Your loved one’s household income
  • Lost benefits
  • Loss of companionship

Hiring legal representation can also shield you from accepting an insurance company’s too-low settlement, which likely will not help you pay all the expenses from the accident. With us on your side and handling your case, we will seek fair compensation for you and protect your rights and interests.

Our wrongful death attorney can also advise you on how these legal actions work in Louisiana and which family members can recover damages under the law.
