You May Seek Damages Following a Big Rig Accident in Jefferson Parish, LA

Because truck accidents can result in catastrophic injuries, victims may accumulate high medical bills, miss work, and endure immense pain and suffering. They don’t have to deal with these consequences without help, though. If you were hurt in a big rig crash, you may be entitled to collect damages for the following:

  • Past and upcoming medical expenses: For surgeries, diagnostic tests, medications, assistive equipment, hospital stays, and follow-up visits
  • Lost income: For salary, hourly pay, commissions, or benefits you couldn’t earn while you were out recovering from your injuries
  • Reduced earning power: For the income you won’t be able to earn if your injury keeps you out of work for the time being
  • Property damage costs: If your vehicle sustained damage in the accident
  • Pain and suffering: If your painful injuries impede your quality of life
  • Disfigurement: If your injuries keep you from moving as you did before the crash
  • Mental anguish: If you have developed mental health struggles as a result of the accident

If your loved one died from complications stemming from the accident, you may recover wrongful death damages. These damages typically account for loss of financial support, funeral and burial costs, and final medical bills, as well as loss of consortium and care.

How a Big Rig Accident Attorney in Jefferson Parish, La, Help With Your Case

Pursuing legal action against a trucking company is complex, and the stakes are high. In that case, you may benefit from hiring a truck accident attorney from our firm to take on associated responsibilities for you while you recover.

Gather Evidence That Helps Determine Negligence

Getting to the bottom of a big rig accident can be complicated, especially compared to other types of accidents. In that case, our team can collect various forms of evidence to prove negligence. Evidence may include the following:

  • Blackbox data
  • Photos of the damaged vehicles and your injuries
  • Medical records
  • Truck maintenance records
  • Dashcam footage
  • The crash report
  • Employee records

We may find the trucker, the trucking company, a government agency, a cargo company, or a combination of these parties hold fault in your accident.

Negotiate a Settlement That Accounts for All Your Losses

Many big rig accident cases never go to trial. Instead, the parties reach a mutual settlement agreement.

Settlements might be common, but there is no guarantee that you will get a fair offer. Insurance companies know they are at an advantage when dealing directly with an injury victim, and their adjusters may use certain tactics to convince you to settle for less than what your case is worth.

Our firm can negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf and ensure you only accept an offer that is in your best interest.

Answer Your Questions Throughout the Legal Process

Most people have never been involved in a big rig accident. If you have never pursued a personal injury case before, you might have a lot of questions about the process. A big rig accident attorney in Jefferson Parish, LA, at our firm can answer those questions and provide you with a clear understanding of what to expect in your case.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

How Long You Have to File a Lawsuit After a Big Rig Crash in Lousiana

You face a strict deadline to file a lawsuit related to your big rig accident injuries. This deadline for filing a lawsuit is commonly known as the statute of limitations.

According to CC Art. 3492, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you’re filing a wrongful death lawsuit, CC Art. 2315.2 states that you typically have two years to take action.

The consequences of noncompliance are steep. If you file your lawsuit after the deadline expires, the judge may dismiss your case. This dismissal is with prejudice, meaning you are barred from ever filing a lawsuit again. A dismissal with prejudice would also prevent you from settling your case, so violating the statute of limitations could hinder your chances of recovery.

CTA CTA

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

How Much Our Big Rig Accident Lawyer in Jefferson Parish, LA, Costs
