Truck Accidents Can Feature Multiple Liable Parties

The bottom line is that whoever caused your accident should be responsible for your damages.

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we can make sure that the party or parties responsible for your injuries, not you, foot the bill for the expenses you have incurred.

When we first take your case, we can examine every aspect of the crash and produce a list of every party that is potentially liable. Then, we will investigate the actions of each of these parties and determine how they may have contributed to your accident.

The Truck Driver

Following your collision, the first party we investigate is the individual trucker. If the driver was acting carelessly at the time of the accident, we can look into these circumstances to hold them responsible.

Examples of behaviors that can point to driver negligence include:

  • Speeding
  • Failure to adhere to posted traffic signals
  • Misjudging the space needed for a turn
  • Braking suddenly
  • Merging lanes without signaling
  • Not properly securing cargo
  • Failing to take necessary precautions in inclement weather

A driver’s hours of service logbook can also provide vital information in determining the cause of your crash. All truckers are required to keep track of information regarding their schedule, the truck’s maintenance, the weight of cargo, and other details. If the logbook suggests that the driver violated industry regulations, or if there are discrepancies, we can use this to bolster your claim.

The Trucking Company

The trucking company may be vicariously liable for its driver’s actions under the “respondeat superior” doctrine. This principle notes that if an employer was acting within the scope of their job expectations, their supervisor can be held responsible for their actions.

The Truck Manufacturer

Another responsible party for your truck accident is the truck manufacturer. We can hold them accountable if a faulty or defective truck component, such as the brakes, accelerator, or trailer hitch, caused or contributed to your accident. We can conduct a thorough investigation of the accident scene, which includes examining all vehicles involved, to determine if this applies to your situation.

Other Accountable Parties

Every truck accident is different. In our experience fighting for accident victims in Louisiana, we have come across hundreds of unique scenarios. To ensure that the evidence in your case stays fresh, make sure you contact a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. For a free case evaluation by a Chataignier truck accident lawyer, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777.

Louisiana has a Strict Timeline for Filing Civil Action

Louisiana has a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims, which is shorter than what most states provide. Therefore, it is imperative to act right away after being involved in a truck accident. If you let the statute expire, you may lose the right to recover compensation, regardless of how compelling the evidence may be.

Depending on the nuances of your accident, this timeline may be longer. This is where working with a legal professional proves to be an invaluable resource. A dedicated member of our team can help you understand how certain details may affect your case.

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

Members of Our Staff Are Standing by to Hear from You

A Chataignier truck accident lawyer at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers is eager to get to work on your case today. To successfully fight for your rights, we will need to prove the presence of four elements concerning your claim.

These include:

  • Duty of care. All motorists take on a level of responsibility to not harm others when operating a vehicle.
  • Breach of duty of care. By gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses, we will need to prove that the responsible party violated their duty of care by causing you harm.
  • Whether it was the result of a broken traffic law or another avoidable factor, we will need to demonstrate that the party in question caused the accident.
  • As a result of your collision, we must show that you have incurred high costs and losses that have impacted your livelihood.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a truck accident, we can fight for the fair compensation you deserve. We work on contingency, meaning that we do not charge any fees unless we win your case.

To learn more about what we can do for you, call us today at (337) 777-7777.
