Egan 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer

18-wheelers are commercial trucks with sizable trailers used to haul goods across the U.S. Situated along I-10, Egan, LA sees significant shipping traffic from California, Arizona, and Texas to New Orleans, Florida, and the East Coast. Congested shipping traffic combined with highway speeds creates the perfect storm for dangerous 18-wheeler accidents.

Sadly, most truck accidents happen due to preventable causes. If you were in an 18-wheeler accident due to someone else’s reckless or negligent behavior, you could recover damages under Louisiana law. An Egan 18-Wheeler accident lawyer at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help.

How Our Egan 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys Can Help

With more than 350 years of combined experience in Louisiana injury law, our lawyers have spent decades fighting on behalf of truck injury victims. Our personal injury firm is dedicated to pursuing justice on your behalf, up to and including representing you at trial if necessary.

Our legal team serving Egan, LA can:

Offer You a Free Consultation

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we know that financial stability is a crucial aspect of your recovery. When you contact our office, you will receive a case evaluation from one of our team members at no cost.

Represent You on a Contingency-Fee Basis

If we decide to work with you, our Egan truck accident attorneys will take your case on a contingency-fee basis. That means you do not pay for our services or legal costs upfront. We will simply take a percentage of the settlement or judgment you receive at the end of your case. If we do not win your semi-truck accident case, we do not get paid.

Obtain Evidence to Build and Support Your Truck Accident Claim

After a truck accident, you may face months or years of expensive and time-consuming rehabilitation. In some cases, you could deal with the effects for the rest of your life. Our team will work to procure a settlement commensurate with the full value of your losses.

To support your claim, we can compile a variety of evidence, including:

  • 18-wheeler accident scene photos and videos
  • The police report from the semi-truck accident
  • Statements from witnesses who saw the semi-truck crash
  • Testimony from medical and economic experts
  • Medical records to prove your injuries’ severity and long-term effects
  • Detailed invoices for costs related to your injuries

Handle All Incoming and Outgoing Correspondence

While you recover from your injuries, your Egan 18-wheeler accident lawyer can field all the calls, emails, and letters from insurance representatives and other parties. Insurance companies make their profits by reducing their payouts. This often means offering accident victims lower settlements than they deserve.

Let our 18-wheeler accident attorneys in Egan, LA negotiate with the insurance company while you focus your energy on rehabilitation.

Maintain Open Communication Throughout Your Case

Our legal team will keep you updated on your 18-wheeler accident case throughout the legal process. We understand that it can be stressful if you aren’t kept in the loop. That’s why we make it a point to keep you apprised of any changes in your case as they occur.

We’ll also promptly respond to any emails or phone calls, so you never have to wait long for answers to your questions.

Prepare Your Case for Trial and Pursue a Favorable Verdict in Court if Necessary

While many semi-truck accident cases settle out of court, our team will prepare to take your case to trial from the start. If out-of-court negotiations are not fruitful, we will be ready to defend your rights before a judge and jury.

You Can Suffer Catastrophic Injuries in an Egan 18-Wheeler Collision

Semi-truck accidents are typically more severe than accidents involving passenger vehicles alone. Loaded 18-wheelers can weigh up to 30 times as much as a standard passenger car, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This makes them more difficult to maneuver, especially at high speeds. When a driver is inattentive or reckless, the results can be devastating.

Severe injuries you could suffer in an 18-wheeler accident include:

  • Spinal cord injury, including full or partial paralysis
  • Head injury or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Internal injuries to organs and soft tissue
  • Bone fractures
  • Loss of limb or amputation
