If you or a member of your family suffered injuries in an accident with a large truck in Egan, you may be eligible for financial compensation. In the aftermath of a truck accident, you can incur expenses like medical bills, property damage, lost income, and pain and suffering.

You can discuss the details of your accident and understand the true value of your potential financial recovery when you review your claim with us. An Egan truck accident lawyer is your advocate and can ensure that your claim is complete, meets all legal requirements, and that your paperwork is filed on time.

Physical recovery should be your first priority when you are involved in an accident with a large truck. Financial recovery should be your very next priority. Contact us as soon as you are able by calling Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 today.

Hazardous Materials Increase the Danger of Large Truck Collisions

When a large truck and a passenger vehicle collide, the size and weight of the truck can make the accident deadly for the driver and passengers of the smaller vehicle. Because large trucks transport a variety of goods and products all over the country, their weight can be increased by their loads. The loads these trucks carry can increase the danger these trucks pose to other vehicles.

The loads these trucks carry might also be hazardous. The danger of a collision with another vehicle of any size rises even further in these cases. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reported the following rates of accidents involving dangerous substances in its large truck and bus crash facts report:

  • As many as 3% of the large trucks involved in fatal accidents in 2017 were carrying potentially hazardous materials.
  • As many as 2% of the large truck accidents involved in all accidents that led to serious injuries were carrying potentially hazardous materials.
  • Dangerously flammable liquids accounted for 63% of the hazardous materials being carried by trucks involved in collisions.

If you or a member of your family was injured in a collision with a large truck, speak to an Egan truck accident attorney as soon as possible. If you believe your injuries were worsened due to the presence of a hazardous substance carried by the truck that collided with your car, be sure to let your lawyer know that critical fact immediately.

Share the full details of your large truck accident with a team member from our firm as soon as you are able. The more information we have, the better equipped we will be to negotiate the settlement you and your family deserve. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 today.

The Weight of The Large Truck And Its Cargo Can Make a Collision Worse

When large trucks and small cars collide, the people in the smaller cars are much more likely to be injured or killed. Some major causes and contributing factors of injuries and deaths in passenger car occupants versus large truck occupants include:

  • Weight differences
  • Height differences
  • Braking actions
  • Stopping distance
  • Stopping times
  • Driver fatigue
  • Truck maintenance

In addition to these reasons, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) states that truckers often exceed the number of hours considered safe for drivers. While current regulations allow drivers to stay on the road for up to 11 hours at a time, these hourly limitations are often ignored by truckers.

If you believe one or more of these factors played a role in your injuries, speak to us right away. An Egan truck accident lawyer can help you understand the cause of the accident and the right party to pursue for financial compensation.

Get a Copy of Your Collision Report

If you lose consciousness at the scene of the accident or struggle to recall specific accident details, your police report will contain information that an Egan truck accident lawyer needs to prove your claim. According to Louisiana Statute § 32:398, your accident report will contain some important details, including:

  • Each driver’s name and contact information
  • Make, model, color, and condition of each vehicle
  • License and registration number of each vehicle
  • Insurance carrier information for each driver

Your police report can also include photos and video footage of the accident. Obtain a copy of your police report, then call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 to speak to us today.

A Delay in Filing Your Claim Could Be Costly

A claim for financial compensation must be undertaken immediately. Louisiana Statute § 3492 generally allows you two years to file a claim against the person or entity who is responsible for your accident. If you put off or delay filing your claim, you might forfeit your right to pursue a monetary award from the person responsible for your injuries.

Avoid such an outcome by trusting your case to an Egan truck accident lawyer who can take care of many of the following details related to your claim while you focus on your physical healing. Your lawyer can:

  • Compile the evidence your case requires
  • Fully document your injuries
  • Accurately calculate your damages and losses
  • Keep you updated at all stages of your case
  • Answer any questions you may have
  • File all paperwork on time
  • Protect your rights
  • Negotiate on your behalf with insurance companies
  • Handle all communication with relevant parties

A delay in filing your claim can cost you the ability to file a lawsuit at all. Discuss the details of your accident with us as soon as possible.
