Lawtell Truck Accident Lawyer

An accident with a large truck can leave you with serious injuries and severe emotional trauma. Recovering from the physical and emotional impact of a collision with a large truck can take a significant amount of time. You might be unable to return to work to support yourself and your family, or be unable to enjoy the same type of activities that you engaged in prior to the accident.

You could be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries, medical bills, damaged property, and lost income. A lawyer can serve as your advocate, accurately evaluate your compensation claim, and negotiate a monetary settlement that fully covers your expenses.

Speak to a Lawtell truck accident lawyer on our team right away to determine your potential for financial recovery and start the process of getting your life back on track. Contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 today.

Understanding the Cause and Impact of a Large Truck Accident

A collision involving a large truck and a smaller car can happen for a variety of reasons. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reported that rollovers were the cause of collisions in four percent of all fatal accidents, and in an additional three percent of all injury accidents.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), a truck’s inability to brake quickly can lead to accidents. Other contributing factors in large truck accidents include:

  • Insufficient stopping distance
  • Insufficient stopping time
  • Poor vehicle maintenance
  • Road and weather conditions
  • Truck driver fatigue
  • Exceeding safe driving hours

Do not attempt to assign fault or liability on your own. Speak to a Lawtell truck accident lawyer from our firm who can help you assess the cause of the large truck accident in which you were involved. Your lawyer can also help you evaluate the full financial impact of the accident on you and your family.

A Large Truck Accident Can Cause Serious Injuries

The size difference between a large truck and a passenger vehicle means a collision can put the passenger vehicle’s occupants in serious jeopardy of devastating injuries. In addition to the impact of the truck’s weight, its sheer size can also mean smaller cars can become caught under a much taller truck (under-riding).

Serious injuries seen in large truck versus passenger accidents can include:

  • Broken bones
  • Severe burns
  • Severed limbs
  • Concussions
  • Serious head injuries
  • Whiplash

If you or a loved one endured any of these injuries, you could be in for a long recovery time at a significant financial cost. You do not have to deal with these expenses alone. You may be able to sue the trucker, his employer, or his truck’s manufacturer for compensation for your medical expenses.

Your injury expenses start at the scene of the accident and can accumulate for months or years. Discuss your current and ongoing medical expenses with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777.

A Lawtell Truck Accident Lawyer Can Assess Your Medical Expenses

Treatments for the injuries you endured in an accident can include bone setting, surgery, and physical and occupational therapy. When you are ready to pursue financial compensation, we can help you assess and evaluate your ongoing treatment plans and expenses.

The help of a lawyer and an accurate assessment of your medical bills means you do not have to risk accepting a smaller settlement than you deserve, or a settlement that will not completely cover your ongoing medical needs. Your lawyer can also help ensure you are compensated for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Lost wages
  • Emergency medical care
  • Replacement and repair of property
  • Childcare costs
  • Transportation to and from doctor appointments
  • Assistive medical devices

The bodily injuries you suffer in an accident with a large truck can have long-lasting effects. Because your time to file a lawsuit is generally limited to a single year under Art. 3492 of the Louisiana Civil Code, your injuries can often last longer than your ability to seek compensation. Speak to us before you speak to the at-fault driver or his insurance carrier.

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