LaPlace Big Rig Accident Lawyer

Any accident can be devastating, but big rig accidents may increase the chances of serious or even fatal injuries exponentially. According to Louisiana’s Center for Analytics & Research in Transportation Safety, accidents involving large trucks and buses made up close to 113 of the 887 deadly collisions on the road in Louisiana in 2021.

If you or a family member has been hurt in a big rig accident, you may already be struggling enough with paying your bills, keeping the lights on, and trying to recover. You don’t need to take on additional stressors by handling your case and going up against the insurance companies on your own.

A LaPlace big rig accident lawyer with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers helps alleviate this strain, and it all starts with a no-cost, no-obligation consultation, so you know exactly what to expect if you hire us.

How Our Big Rig Accident Attorneys in LaPlace Can Assist You

After going through the trauma of a big rig accident, the last thing you need is to handle all of the consequences on your own. You simply don’t have enough time or energy to get all of your financial and medical needs met, fully recover from your injuries, and pursue a case.

In that case, you may benefit from hiring one of our truck accident lawyers in LaPlace. They can provide these services for you.

We Can Collect and Present Evidence to Identify the Liable Party

Evidence works as the basis for your case. Common forms of evidence we use in big rig cases include:

  • Dashcam footage and other videos
  • Relevant photographs
  • The accident report
  • Medical records
  • Blackbox data
  • Employment records
  • Truck maintenance records

This information can direct us to the party that caused the accident. Although it’s usually the truck driver, the trucking company, a truck parts manufacturer, or a cargo company might have also contributed to the crash.

Your Lawyer Can Deal With Insurance Companies for You

Your big rig accident attorney serve as a buffer that shields you from the insurance adjusters’ tactics. Instead of placing call after call, filling out endless paperwork, and negotiating a settlement with the insurance company, a lawyer at our firm can take care of all of that for you.

Your Attorney Can Work to Meet State Deadlines

Beyond the important aspect of building a case so that you don’t have to, your attorney can file your case on time. It’s important to get in touch with our firm as soon as you can.

In the state of Louisiana, there’s generally a two-year statute of limitations both for personal injury lawsuits under CC Art. 3492 and wrongful death lawsuits under CC Art. 2315.2. Missing the deadline may result in the court denying your right to pursue damages.

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

What Are Some Injuries Big Rig Accident Attorneys Might Recover For?

Anyone who’s seen a big rig accident knows just how catastrophic the damage can be, both to the vehicles involved and the people. Beyond emergency care, you might also need ongoing services like physical therapy and prescription medications to manage your injuries. Some of the most common injuries that stem from big rig accidents include the following:

  • Organ damage
  • Spinal injuries
  • Paralysis (partial or total)
  • Blunt force trauma
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Fractured or broken bones
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder

When you’ve survived a big rig accident, you know that your recovery has only just begun. Even one of the injuries on this list could take months or even years to heal from, and you might incur thousands of dollars in medical bills from here till then.

Our big rig accident attorneys work hard to make this process easier for you. We can act as a mediator between you and the insurance adjusters and hold them accountable for the full extent of your damages, like:

  • Lost income
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Funeral and burial costs, if you lost a family member

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

What Accidents Do Big Rig Accident Attorneys in LaPlace, LA Represent?

Some crash types have a greater potential for severe injury. Here are some of the accidents we represent here at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers:

  • Rollover: Rollover accidents might be rare for most vehicles, but big rigs tip more frequently due to their higher center of gravity.
  • Head-on: In cases of driver negligence, a big rig might collide with a passenger vehicle when exiting or entering the highway.
  • Dangerous lane change: If a big rig operator doesn’t look before changing lanes, they may sideswipe a passenger vehicle.
  • Out-of-control: Sharp curves and steep hills present a high level of danger for big rigs. An out-of-control truck may rear-end a vehicle, causing serious injury.
  • T-bone: One of the most catastrophic big rig accident types, this can lead to severe effects like TBI, damaged organs, and more.

Regardless of how serious your injuries were, you can always benefit from having our big rig accident lawyer in LaPlace there to advocate for you.
