Krotz Springs Truck Accident Lawyer

A collision with a truck can cause severe injuries for the drivers and occupants of passenger cars. It can also damage or total the smaller vehicle. If you or a family member endured injuries in a collision with a large truck, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and property damage. In the unfortunate event that a loved one passed away due to their injuries, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim to cover their funeral expenses.

Call our team as soon as possible after an accident if you have a claim for financial compensation. Contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 to speak to a truck accident lawyer serving Krotz Springs today.

Trucks Are One of the Many Dangers of the Road

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) mandates that trucks are not allowed to exceed more than 80,000 pounds while traveling on public roadways. This precaution is in place to ensure that truckers can successfully operate their vehicles with a lowered accident risk. However, because of the unique design and purpose of commercial trucks, it takes a great deal of skill to drive one safely.

According to TruckersReport, some elements that make the operation of a truck different from that of a passenger car include:

  • Wider turning radius
  • More time needed to come to a complete stop
  • Size and weight
  • Additional moving parts
  • Increased blind spots

Keeping these factors in mind may explain why in 2018, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reported that large truck crashes caused 4,136 deaths.

Your Injuries Are an Important Part of Your Compensation Package

The size and weight difference between your traditional passenger car and a large truck can be huge. According to the IIHS, a large truck can weigh up to 30 times more than your car.

That means an impact with a large truck can lead to severe and life-threatening injuries, including:

  • Broken bones, which can require immobilization, bone setting, and surgery.
  • Severe burns, which can require repeated dressings, skin grafts, and ongoing physical and occupational therapy.
  • Severed limbs, which can require wound care, pain management, and prosthetic limbs.
  • Traumatic brain injuries, which can require anti-seizure medications, surgery, and various types of rehabilitative therapies.
  • Concussions, which can require long periods of rest and inactivity.
  • Whiplash, which can require extensive pain management, physical therapy, and neck immobilization.

If you or a family member endured any of these injuries, your follow-up treatments can last for weeks, months, or even years. When you trust your case to a truck accident lawyer serving Krotz Springs, they can make sure any financial coverage you receive accounts for your medical expenses.

Speak to a member of our legal team today by calling Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777.

Your Compensation Includes More Than Medical Bills

The immediate and ongoing medical expenses you incur should be covered by the party responsible for the collision. In addition to your medical bills, you may also be entitled to other forms of compensation. Such losses are divided into two categories: economic and noneconomic damages.

Economic damages refer to items that have a tangible value, such as repairs to your vehicle or cost of medical care.

These include:

  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Cost of ongoing therapy
  • Assistive medical equipment, such as a wheelchair or crutches

Noneconomic damages refer to more abstract items that cannot be assigned a price tag so easily.

This consists of:

  • Pain and suffering and inconvenience
  • Emotional trauma
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of household services
  • Wrongful death

By keeping all relevant documentation pertinent to your case, your lawyer may be able to estimate the total cost of your losses. Paperwork, including future treatment plans, medical bills, and receipts, can help provide an accurate calculation.

Prompt Action Is Important for Financial Recovery

The injuries and treatments caused by an accident with a large truck can lead to long recovery periods. The physical well-being of you and your family should be your first priority. It can also take time to recover from the emotional trauma of such a dangerous collision.

While you concentrate on healing, a lawyer can focus on building a case for compensation.

Some of the services your legal team may be able to provide include:

  • Promptly filing your claim.
  • Managing statute of limitations deadlines.
  • Collecting evidence to bolster your account of events.
  • Handling all communications with the liable party and their insurers.
  • Protecting your rights throughout the legal process.
  • Representing you in court, if necessary.

The number of parties that can be held responsible in a truck accident can add further confusion and frustration to the settlement process. While you recover from your injuries, speak with a legal professional about handling your claim. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 today.

You Have a Limited Time to Act

Article 3492 of the Louisiana Civil Code allows a two-year window for filing a claim for personal injury or property damage. If time runs out, you may risk being unable to file a claim at all. Working with a legal professional can help you understand what this timeline means to you and what steps you can take to prove its legitimacy.

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