Determining Who’s Liable in Chataignier 18-Wheeler Accidents

Establishing culpability for your 18-wheeler accident will be critical if you hope to recover your damages in full. Even if you have no-fault insurance coverage, filing a claim with your own insurer may be costly in the end.

Identifying the liable party and fully holding them accountable can help you recover every loss. Parties who could be responsible for your 18-wheeler accident include:

  • Negligent truck drivers
  • Cargo loading crews
  • Safety inspectors
  • 18-wheeler maintenance technicians
  • The owner of the big rig
  • The trucking company
  • 18-wheeler parts manufacturers, designers, and distributors
  • 18-wheeler dealerships

Our 18-wheeler accident lawyer in Chataignier, LA, will work diligently to investigate and obtain the evidence needed to prove the defendant’s negligence in your case.

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

Make sure your 18-wheeler accident lawsuit is filed before the deadline. Under CC Art. 3492, Louisiana generally allows you only two years to file an injury lawsuit.

You can avoid issues with the deadline impacting your case by having our 18-wheeler accident attorney in Chataignier, LA, handle your case from the start. We will file your case on time.
