Potentially Responsible Parties for Your Traffic Congestion Accident

Motor vehicles can be difficult to operate safely on congested highways, as there simply is not enough room for them to maneuver. It is incumbent on drivers to take extra precautions when merging, turning, or changing lanes in heavy traffic.

If you were injured in an accident during a period of heavy congestion, a lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can determine what happened, who was at fault, and what kind of evidence we need to prove liability. We will collect proof and build a thorough and compelling case on your behalf.

The responsible parties for your Lafayette traffic congestion accident may include the following and more:

The Other Driver

The other driver is the first party we will examine closely to determine if they bear liability for your injuries. You may have been hit by a truck or tractor-trailer. These vehicles are very hard to control in traffic.

Truckers must follow the same laws as other motorists, and they are also bound by a long list of trucking industry regulations (as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) affirms). They must keep an up-to-date logbook detailing the hours they drive and the hours they rest, along with the service records for their truck.

If we examine the driver’s logbook and find evidence that they had driven too many hours without rest at the time of your accident, or that they had not kept up with their truck’s required maintenance, we can hold them accountable for negligence. A Lafayette traffic congestion lawyer can also hold it against them if they failed to keep an up-to-date logbook.

Reach out to a member of the Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers team at (337) 777-7777 today.

The Trucking Company

Because many truck drivers work either as employees or independent contractors of a larger trucking outfit, we can usually hold a trucking company vicariously liable for damages caused by their driver.

The Truck Manufacturer

We can pursue the truck manufacturer for damages in a specific situation in which a flaw or defect in the vehicle caused or contributed to the accident. As we investigate your truck accident, we will determine if something like faulty brakes or a loose trailer was a contributing factor.

Other Motorists

Not all truck accidents are the fault of the truck driver. The trucker may have swerved, for instance, to avoid striking another vehicle whose driver made an improper lane change, causing their truck to collide with your car. We will identify all other motorists who may be liable for your accident and pursue compensation from them and their insurance companies.

When you work with a traffic congestion attorney from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, the important thing to remember is this: No matter who was responsible for your accident—whether a trucker or trucking company, whether a single or multiple parties—we will find them and immediately begin gathering evidence against them while it is still fresh.

Our job is to make sure that the person or persons who caused you to become injured foot the bill for your damages (not you). To learn more and to receive a free case evaluation, call us today.
