Proving That You Deserve Compensation

One of the biggest questions on your mind is probably the amount of compensation that you might be eligible to receive. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to help you prove your personal injury case and receive compensation.

Some expenses you could recover awards for include:

  • Hospitalizations
  • Emergency transport costs
  • Prescriptions
  • Physical therapy
  • Doctors’ appointments
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Permanent disfigurement or scarring
  • Pain and suffering

You may have other expenses that you can recover in an insurance claim or lawsuit. If there is a chance that you will pursue compensation from the truck driver or trucking company who hurt you, then it is a good idea to keep copies of any records showing the expenses that you have had to pay as a result. Your lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can go over these documents with you to determine which expenses are recoverable.

A Lawyer from Our Legal Team Can Help with Your Claim

Having a lawyer from our firm representing your interests can make this process less stressful in a number of ways.

File Within the Statute of Limitations

First, your lawyer will make sure that you file your lawsuit on time. You only have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim for personal injury damages, according to CC Art. 3492. If you do not file your lawsuit within this window, you may waive your right to receive compensation from any of the potentially liable parties via a lawsuit.

Investigate to Prove Who Is Negligent

Your lawyer will also conduct an extensive investigation into your claim to gather evidence to support your lawsuit.

In a personal injury claim, you will need to prove that the defendants acted negligently and that you were injured as a direct result of that negligence. A few examples of negligence in a truck accident include:

  • Fatigued or overworked drivers
  • Intoxicated drivers
  • Aggressive driving or speeding
  • Distracted driving such as eating, looking at a map, or talking on the phone
  • Failure to hire properly trained drivers
  • Failure to supervise drivers properly
  • Failure to maintain the truck in good working condition
  • Failure to comply with certain safety regulations
  • Overloaded trucks
  • Improperly loaded cargo
  • Falling cargo

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

Key Categories of Evidence

It can be difficult to know what caused your accident and what types of evidence you should look for. Your lawyer will have experience with this aspect of your claim and get straight to work contacting potential sources of evidence like eyewitnesses.

Other types of evidence that may be helpful in your claim include:

  • Police reports
  • Truck maintenance reports
  • Inspections of the vehicles involved in the accident
  • Inspections of the accident site
  • Consults with accident reconstruction specialists
  • Consults with trucking industry experts
  • Copies of trucking regulations
  • Reports of any trucking regulation violations or fines

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

Liability for a Truck Accident

Because trucks are often commercial vehicles, there are a few different possible parties who may owe you compensation. Figuring out the connection among different entities can be very confusing, however. It may require you to investigate their legal and business structures.

Your legal team from our law firm will use their resources to take care of this research for you while also making sure that you seek compensation from every potentially liable party.

A few entities that may be involved in your situation and potentially liable for your damages include:

  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company that employs the driver
  • The manufacturer of the truck
  • The manufacturer of component parts for the truck
  • The party that loads or empties cargo
  • A third-party company that retains the truck’s services
  • The party that performs maintenance on the truck

There are also a wide number of regulations that apply to the commercial operation of trucks at both the state and federal levels.

Each of these parties may also have an auto insurance policy that could provide you with benefits for your injuries and expenses. Insurance companies can be very difficult to work with, however, especially if there are multiple policies involved.

To learn more about whether you should file an insurance claim and who may be liable for your injuries, contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers now. We offer a free consultation so that you can ask questions about working with a LaPlace truck accident lawyer from our firm. Dial (504) 777-7777 now.
