I NEED HELP NOW

Your personal injury lawyer can help you calculate your recoverable damages, which may include:

  • Medical Bills
  • Income Loss
  • Property Damage
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Lasting Disfigurement
Lafayette Penske Truck Accident Lawyer

Rental trucks help everyday people move in and around Lafayette every day. When they are on the road, the driver behind the wheel is responsible for its safe operation. Similarly, the rental company is responsible for maintaining the truck in good working order. If either of these parties fails to meet their obligation and you are injured, we can help you recover compensation.

Our Lafayette Penske truck accident lawyer will take care of all the details for you. At Laborde Earles, our entire firm is behind your fight for recovery. We will investigate your accident and document its cause and costs. Our truck accident lawyers start by reviewing your case at no cost and work hard to recover your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. 

Damages We Can Seel for Your Accident Expenses and Losses

Recovering from a truck accident can mean a plethora of ongoing expenses. These costs should be the responsibility of the person or entity whose negligence caused the accident. Our legal team can help you recover the following:

  • Accident-related medical bills
  • Lost income 
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage or total loss
  • Diminished property value
  • Disability and disfigurement
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental and emotional distress
  • Diminished quality of life
  • Wrongful death damages, if applicable

Recovering damages can be more complicated than you think, especially when negligence and liability are complex, like your rental truck accident case. We can help you make sense of financial recovery and demand the compensation you need and deserve. Call a Lafayette personal injury lawyer today to schedule your free consultation.

Time Restrictions on Lafayette, LA, Lawsuits

Our Penske truck accident lawyer serving Lafayette, LA, will work hard to meet the personal injury statute of limitations (generally two years, according to CC 3493.1). We also meet the wrongful death statute of limitations (generally two years, according to CC Art. 2315.2) for the families of fatal truck accidents.

Your truck accident case is unlikely to go to court, as most are resolved with a settlement. It is important that you file your lawsuit, though, to protect your right to go to court if a settlement cannot be reached. It is also important because if the time allotted to file expires, the at-fault party’s insurance company may refuse to negotiate any further.

Assigning Liability in Your Penske Truck Accident Case

One of the first things we do when building your case is identify the at-fault party (or parties) to pursue for compensation. The driver who rented the truck could be liable if their negligence led to the accident. Their personal auto insurance may refuse their claim based on the size and weight of the Penske truck.

We will pursue Penske and their insurance company if that happens. We will also pursue them if the truck or its components were defective. They could also be liable if the driver should not have been allowed to rent the truck. Our investigation will get to the bottom of the accident and demand compensation from the appropriate party.

Our Investigation and Evidence Collection Will Indicate Liability

Our Penske truck accident attorney serving Lafayette, LA, can help you obtain a wealth of evidence that proves your right to recover damages and their monetary value. The evidence we collect will include: 

  • Truck accident report that indicates the cause, contact details, the condition of both drivers and both vehicles, and statements from available witnesses
  • Medical records and bills that indicate the cause of your injuries and their immediate and ongoing costs
  • Statements from witnesses, including eyewitnesses, medical experts, and accident scene reconstructionist reports

Additional evidence we include in your case file can include accident scene and injury photos, vehicle repair and replacement estimates, and proof of income.

We’re committed to holding negligent parties accountable and helping injury victims pursue their rightful compensation. No matter the type of accident you’ve been involved in, our reputable team of legal professionals will fight for you. In addition to Penske accident lawsuits, we can help with other cases, so reach out to us if you’re searching for:

  • UPS delivery accident lawyer
  • FedEx truck accident lawyer
  • DHL truck accident lawyer
  • Amazon delivery accident lawyer
  • U-Haul truck accident lawyer
