Compensation for Your Big Rig Accident Damages in Houma. LA

One of the top questions victims of big rig accidents have is how much compensation they can obtain. Your big rig accident lawyer in Houma, LA, must carefully scrutinize your losses to help ensure you recover fair damages.

You may qualify to recover losses for the following:

Past and Future Medical Expenses

After getting hurt in a collision with a big rig, you may accumulate high medical bills. Fortunately, you may recover these damages, including the cost of your co-pays, transportation costs, physical and occupational therapy, diagnostic imaging, ambulance bills, hospital bills, and any future medical expenses.

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering can encompass how the accident affected your life physically and psychologically. This includes fear, inconvenience, physical pain, chronic suffering, and emotional distress.

Loss of Income and Reduced Earning Potential

If you can no longer earn a living because you have to take time off from work, it may be difficult for you to continue supporting yourself and your family. In that case, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your salary, hourly pay, and other benefits.

If your injuries keep you out of work long-term, you may request awards for reduced earning potential, accounting for the money you would have earned had you not been in the crash.

Wrongful Death Damages

If your loved one passed away from injuries related to the big rig collision, you may seek wrongful death compensation. It may cover lost inheritance, financial support, and consortium, as well as funeral, burial, and medical expenses.

The Statute of Limitations for Big Rig Accident Lawsuits in Houma, LA

You must file your big rig accident lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires. Unfortunately, many claimants wait too long to file their lawsuits. When this happens, the court system can bar them from recovering compensation.

Generally speaking, you only have two years to file your lawsuit. This time frame applies to personal injury cases under CC Art. 3492 and wrongful death cases under CC Art. 2315.2.

Fortunately, when you have our big rig accident attorney handling your case, you can rely on us to make the deadline.
