Forest Hill 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer

If you were in a collision with an 18-wheeler in Forest Hill, Louisiana, then you may be able to recover your medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses. After a serious accident, it’s common to struggle financially, but you shouldn’t have to. Our truck accident lawyer can help you pursue the at-fault party for compensation to help you get your life back on track.

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, our Forest Hill 18-wheeler accident lawyers are ready to represent you. Don’t take on an insurance company for a transportation giant on your own. Our team can stand up for you against big companies and their large teams of attorneys. While we handle the communicating and negotiate for your settlement, you can focus on recovering from your injuries. 

How Our Semi-Truck Accident Attorney May Be Able to Help

You may be entitled to compensation that could help you pay medical bills and other expenses. We believe our 100 combined years of experience in personal injury law have prepared us to handle your case. It’s our goal to recover life-improving compensation for you while communicating with you every step of the way.

How Much Can You Recover?

The term “recoverable damages” refers to the losses you’ve incurred that are recoverable through the at-fault party’s insurer–so, in order to recoup these losses, they must be related to the accident. The amount of compensation you can recover depends on how much damage the accident caused. 

Consequently, the more losses you’ve suffered, the higher your settlement is likely to be.

Economic vs. Non-Economic Damages

Economic damages are losses that have a clear cost. They’re easily verifiable things like property damage, or the cost of a trip to the emergency room.

Non-economic damages are less objective but are things you should be compensated for nonetheless. Your physical pain and suffering following an accident is a common non-economic loss.

For something like pain and suffering, we can’t show the jury a bill that shows how much you’re suffering has cost. It’s something that has to be shown through a good argument and solid evidence demonstrating how the accident has affected you.

Examples of Possible Damages for an 18-Wheeler Accident

For 18-wheeler accidents, potential clients are likely going to file a personal injury case.

This kind of legal action can have damages that include but are not limited to:

  • Emergency room visits
  • Long term medical care
  • Physical rehabilitation
  • Lost wages
  • Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder 
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lessened quality of life

During your consultation, we’d love to talk with you about the ways this accident has affected your life. We want to account for everything you’ve suffered, so we can fight for a financial award that appropriately compensates you.

Highly Reviewed By Previous Clients

Our clients have been pleased with their case results as we’ve been able to reach many verdicts and settlements for people with cases like yours, including a $1.8 million settlement for an injured 18-wheeler accident victim. While the final result is important to our clients, we know they also appreciate the peace of mind and services we offer. Carl, a previous victim of a reckless driving accident says:

“We met in the curve, and we hit head on. I knew the hospital bill was going to be way more than we could imagine. Digger helped me a lot. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be in the position I am right now. I would have nothing. He took care of everything for me. Digger got me back on my feet.”

We hope you’ll allow us to fight for a favorable result for you, too. We have the experience with large truck accident cases to navigate legal hurdles on your behalf.

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

Why Now is the Right Time to File a Lawsuit

You have a time limit to file before you are barred from pursuing your case. Each state sets their own statutes of limitations for civil cases which means once the deadline expires, you’ll either have your case thrown out, or you’ll have difficulty compelling the insurer to pay what you deserve.

According to CC Art. 3492, you have two years from the date of the accident to file your truck accident case. Our team would be happy to take on the burden of deadlines and regulations, so we can protect your right to compensation.

CTA CTA

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
