  • Income Loss
  • Property Damage
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Lasting Disfigurement
Henry 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer

Surviving an accident with an 18-wheeler often leaves you with severe injuries and property damage. Recovering can be challenging. You may even be dealing with lost wages and stress about how you can cover your bills. Don’t let your finances prevent you from seeking legal advice. Our Henry 18-wheeler accident lawyer can pursue compensation on your behalf for no upfront costs. 

With over 350 years of combined experience in personal injury law, our team of Louisiana attorneys can use our resources to fight for a positive outcome in your case. We aim to secure life-improving compensation for accident victims across the state. From filing to negotiating, we handle every part of the legal process, so you can focus on your recovery.

How Much Compensation is My Truck Accident Case Worth?

Your truck accident case is worth the combined value of your financial and personal losses. Your attorney cannot give you an exact estimate without a thorough case review, as it takes some time to discover the extent of your damages. It’s important to fully understand your situation in order to create an estimate that will account for your future needs.

Types of Recoverable Damages in Louisiana

Your attorney will focus on the two types of recoverable damages. Louisiana allows you to collect your financial losses which can include medical bills and property damage. However, you can also demand compensation for non-economic losses like pain and suffering. 

Economic Losses

  • Hospital bills
  • Physician bills
  • Prescription medication costs
  • Temporary transportation costs
  • Property damage 
  • Lost wages

Non-Economic Losses

  • Mental anguish
  • Emotional trauma
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disfigurement
  • Physical impairment

Wrongful Death Damages

In the unfortunate event that you lost a loved one because of a semi-truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation. If this is the case for you, we are so sorry for your loss. We know that tragedy is difficult enough to cope with when financial difficulties aren’t a factor. If you’re struggling to pay the bills because of this accident, it can be even harder to mourn.

We hope you’ll allow our wrongful death lawyer the opportunity to fight for your financial recovery. We can claim losses like funeral and burial expenses, your loved one’s past medical bills, and your own pain and suffering.

The Benefits of Hiring Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers for Your Case

Here are some benefits of hiring a law firm that you may not have considered.

We Can Help You With:

  • Filing claims on time
  • Access to experts who can determine the cause of your accident
  • Issuing a subpoena for information that could demonstrate fault
  • Examining the employment and safety record of the driver
  • Reviewing the overall safety record of the transportation company
  • Interviewing eyewitnesses to record their statements
  • Gathering medical evidence
  • Pulling police reports
  • Hiring medical experts to testify about your condition
  • Negotiating a settlement offer
  • Representing you in court

Taking any kind of legal action can be a lengthy, complicated process; however, truck accident cases are even more complex. We can navigate legal hurdles and keep the majority of the burden off your shoulders in order to make your case.

We Can Determine if There Are Multiple At-Fault Parties

One of the crucial differences between typical auto accident cases and truck accident cases is that there is likely more than one liable party. Many companies and individuals oversee the transportation of freight. Any one of them could also have contributed to your accident.

Some potentially liable parties in your case include:

  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company
  • The cargo loading company
  • The truck manufacturer
  • The truck’s parts manufacturer
  • Maintenance technicians

Sometimes, trucking companies will destroy evidence that could be helpful for your case. Without legal intervention, they are legally allowed to get rid of certain documents. Whoever is at fault, we will uncover the evidence we need to demonstrate their liability. We will protect this evidence and build a strong case.

  • $1,800,000.00 – Settlement for an 18-wheeler accident victim
  • $1,200,000.00 – Trial verdict for an 18-wheeler accident victim

Are There Time Limits on Filing an 18-Wheeler Accident Case in Louisiana?

Louisiana does have a statute of limitations on civil claims. CC Art. 3492 allows victims in Louisiana two years to file a personal injury case. This two years can begin on the date of your accident or the date of discovered injuries. 

It is possible to have an accident and believe you were not harmed. In these cases, an individual might discover their injuries days or weeks later. You should insist on a medical evaluation even if you believe you are fine. The longer you wait to see a doctor after your accident, the harder it will be to connect your injuries to the collision.

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.
