Our Lawtell 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer Can Help You Meet Important Deadlines

There is a limit on how long after the accident occurred that you’ll be able to file a lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations, and it’s decided by the state for every type of civil case.

If you were injured in the accident, you may want to file a personal injury lawsuit, which has a statute of limitations of two years, according to CC Art. 3492. If you lost a loved one in an accident, you may want to file a wrongful death lawsuit, which has a statute of limitations of two years, according to CC Art. 2315.2.

What Our Lawtell 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys Do to Prepare Your Case

In order to recover compensation for our clients in 18-wheeler accident cases, we need to show that they were a victim in the accident and that they have had expenses caused by the accident.

It’s the liable party’s responsibility to pay for any costs of the victims. In order to recover compensation, we need to show who is liable. We’ll do this by collecting evidence and looking at any documentation of the accident.

From there, we need to be able to attribute your costs to the accident. If you were injured and have had medical bills, we may look at things like a diagnosis from a doctor to show that your injury was caused by the accident, and isn’t something you had before.

What You Could Be Compensated For

We would pursue damages for any financial cost the accident caused you as well as loss of income, effect on your mental health, and any physical pain the accident caused you.

There isn’t necessarily a clear financial cost to something like pain and suffering, but that’s why it’s our job to argue on your behalf. We believe you deserve to be compensated for the inconvenience of the accident as well as any pain it has caused you.

Some more specific examples of things you could be compensated for include:

  • Ambulance ride
  • Emergency room visit
  • Lost wages
  • Lost tips
  • Lost commissions
  • Funeral expenses
  • Greif
  • Pain and suffering
  • Stress
  • Long-term effects on mobility
  • Decrease in quality of life

Our clients have taken the time to talk about their experiences working with our law firm. Their testimonials speak volumes. Take a look at what they said about our legal services:

“I was feeling more and more pain and went to the doctor. I had two surgeries in my neck and my back. I made an appointment with David and it was a real good experience. He worked with me all the way and was like a good friend in a time of need. I don’t think anybody could have done a better job than he did.” – Keith.

“I woke up and I was lying on my stomach, facedown in a ditch. David was a phenomenal individual. I felt secure; I felt that he was protecting me and my family, and he was going to get what us what we deserved. He was a great lawyer and went above and beyond.” -Kelsie
