How We’ll Prepare Your Case
We’ll investigate the details of what caused your accident so that we can show that the accident was, in fact, caused by another party. If we’re able to do this, then it’ll show that it’s their responsibility to pay the costs that you’ve had.
From there, we’ll assess the costs you’ve had as a result of the accident and look at precedents for similar cases to see the amount we may be able to recover. Then we’ll either try to reach a settlement or even go to court.

ClientPotential Compensation for an 18-Wheeler Accident
We would pursue damages on your behalf for any cost that was caused by the accident:
- Property damage
- Emergency room visit
- Medical care
- Prescription medication
- Funeral expenses
- Loss of income
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
Some of these have a clear dollar amount that has to be paid from the liable party to you in order to cover the cost. Others are immaterial damages, and the exact amount of compensation has to be argued.
This is where we may be of service especially, as we’ll have to present arguments for why you should be compensated.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientAn 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer in Jefferson Parish, LA, Can Seek Fair Compensation
We may begin your case by filing an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. We may go to court, or we may settle with the opposition’s legal counsel.
Reaching a settlement means that we would negotiate an amount that would be paid to you from the liable party. If we’re unable to settle for whatever reason, then your case would be decided in court.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
ClientThe Statute of Limitations for Your 18-Wheeler Accident Case
Each state sets a statute of limitations for each type of civil lawsuit. This is the amount of time after an incident occurs that you’re allowed to sue for said incident.
In 18-wheeler accident cases, you may be filing a personal injury or wrongful death suit. The Louisiana statute of limitations for each of these is just two years, according to CC Art. 3492 and CC Art. 2315.2, respectively.
If you don’t file either of these kinds of lawsuits two years after the accident, then you will no longer have the ability to do so.
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.
