Lafayette Bad Weather Truck Accident Lawyer

If you were hurt in a truck accident, you may be able to recover compensation with help from a seasoned personal injury attorney. A skilled Lafayette bad weather truck accident lawyer could evaluate the case and help you hold the at-fault parties accountable for their behavior.

How Weather Can Impact Liability

Dangerous weather can have an impact on the assignment of fault in a truck accident case because in some instances, some fault may be put on the weather. These situations are referred to as “acts of God.” A prime example of this would be if a truck is driving down a road and a tree blew over and hit the truck. In that instance, the accident may have been unavoidable.

However, truck drivers have a heightened duty and standard to be cautious in dangerous weather and severe conditions. If they were driving too fast for the conditions, they could be at fault for a collision because they had a responsibility to exercise caution.

Liability for Single-Car Accidents

In single-car accidents, truck accident lawyers may be able to help injured passengers pursue a claim for compensation against the driver. In a one-car wreck, the passenger did not do anything wrong. The lawyer would then have to look at if there is any fault on the driver or if it was an “act of God” that caused the accident. Reach out to a Lafayette truck accident lawyer to discuss your situation.

For example, if a passenger was injured because a tree fell in a storm onto the car, then there may not be much recourse in that situation. However, if someone was driving too fast for the rain and loses control of the vehicle, then the driver may be at fault in that situation.

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

Recoverable Damages in a Rollover Truck Accident

There are two different types of recoverable damages that may be sought by a person involved in a dangerous weather truck accident: general damages and special damages. General damages are for losses that cannot be easily measured by a dollar amount, including pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Special damages are easier to calculate. They can include the cost of medical bills, lost wages, the cost of prescriptions, and property damage. Notably, special damages can encompass future losses as well, such as the cost of ongoing rehabilitation, in-home care, or future lost wages due to disability.

CTA CTA

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