Jeanerette Truck Accident Lawyer

A truck accident in Jeanerette could leave you and any passengers in your car with severe injuries. In some cases, you could be left with long-term or permanent disfigurement and disabilities.

You and your passengers may be entitled to financial compensation for your injury-related medical bills. You may also be entitled to collect damages for other expenses related to the large truck accident in which you were involved. When you review your claim for compensation with us, we can help you fully assess your potential for financial recovery.

Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 right away. You will be able to review your claim with a team member who can help you calculate the full value of your claim for a monetary award in the aftermath of a collision with a large truck.

A Jeanerette Truck Accident Lawyer Can Assess Your Potential Financial Award

When someone is involved in an accident with a large truck, their first concern may be for their physical injuries, their recovery, and the costs associated with said recovery.

When you file a claim for financial compensation, you may receive awards for one or more of the following expenses:

  • Emergency, follow-up, and future medical bills
  • Current lost wages due to an inability to return to work
  • Future lost wages due to a permanent inability to return to work
  • A monetary award for pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
  • A monetary award for a permanent deformity or disability

There may be other expenses for which you are allowed to receive compensation, including damage to your car or funeral and burial costs if a loved one died in the collision. Your expenses will vary according to your injuries, the cause of your accident, and the responsible party. Only your lawyer can accurately valuate your compensation claim.

Discuss your full range of expenses with a Jeanerette truck accident lawyer from our firm. Your lawyer can accurately evaluate your specific recoverable expenses and help you understand the value of your claim. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777.

Obtain Your Medical Records to Support Your Injury Claim

Many records and documents will be required to prove your injuries, treatments, and future medically necessary care. This information will be contained in your medical records, files, and expenses. Your medical records are an invaluable part of creating an accurate financial picture of what the accident will cost.

According to LA §1165.1, you are entitled to copies of your medical records upon request. In addition, if a family member died in the accident, you may be entitled to copies of their medical records under specific circumstances. Complete medical records might include:

  • Lab and test results
  • Invoices and bills
  • Treatment plans
  • Medical history

In addition to your medical treatments and expenses, your records will contain your need for assistive devices like crutches and wheelchairs. Your medical records might also obtain copies of your future treatment needs. Speak to a truck accident lawyer serving Jeanerette from our firm as soon as possible, and start obtaining and sharing copies of your accident-related medical records.

Times and Locations of Large Truck Collisions

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there were 450,000 large truck accidents reported in 2017. As many as 63% of all fatal large truck crashes involved another vehicle. Additionally, the FMCSA reported that:

  • Most large truck accidents occur at night between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am.
  • Most large truck accidents that cause fatalities and injuries occur during the work week between Monday and Friday.
  • Most large truck accidents happen on rural roads.
  • 82% of the people killed in large truck accidents were not the large truck’s drivers.

The difference in size between a passenger car and a large truck can be massive and can lead to both severe injuries and greater numbers of fatalities for the occupants of the smaller car. Consult with a lawyer near you if you or a family member was injured in a car accident, or if a family member was killed. You can reach us by calling Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 today.

Take Two Important Actions Right Away

It can be difficult to know what to do in the immediate aftermath of a collision with a large truck. First, get medical assistance for yourself and any passengers in your vehicle. After your injuries are treated, take these two important steps toward building your claim and assigning liability to the responsible party:

  • File a police report, which is valuable to your claim and mandatory under LA 398 because you were injured in the accident.
  • Contact a lawyer immediately, because you generally have two years to file a claim for compensation under LA 3492.

When you are ready to hold the right party responsible for your injuries and accident-related expenses, contact us.

Let a Jeanerette Truck Accident Lawyer Negotiate for You

Were you or a family member involved in a collision with a large truck in Jeanerette? Was a family member killed as a result of this collision? If you can answer yes to one or both of these questions, you may be entitled to financial recovery.

You might be tempted to accept a speedy settlement from the other party’s insurance company. However, doing so could mean you might receive a much smaller settlement than you actually deserve. Contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 and let us negotiate a settlement that fully covers your accident-related expenses.

We want to help you in any way we can. Reach out to us today to learn more about what we can do for you and your family. You may be able to pursue compensation to cover your losses and take some of the financial pressure off of you while you recover from your accident.
