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
Louisiana Truck Accident Lawyer

If you or someone you love was injured in a recent truck accident, our Louisiana truck accident lawyer will identify the at-fault party. We start by reviewing your case at no cost or obligation. Our team will conduct our own investigation and explain the steps we will take to hold the at-fault party responsible for their negligence. Leave it to us.

Founded in 2014, our client-focused team brings over 350 years of combined personal injury experience to your case. At Laborde Earles, our personal injury lawyers work hard to obtain the best possible monetary settlement for you and your family. Our history of truck accident settlements and verdicts includes a $7 million judgment, a $2.7 million settlement, and a $1.75 million trial verdict.

Monetary Damages You Can Recover After a Truck Accident in Louisiana

The at-fault party in your truck accident case could be the truck driver, their employer, the cargo loader, or the manufacturer of the truck or its parts. Negligence could also fall to a combination of these potentially liable parties.

After we identify the at-fault party, we determine the value of the compensation we demand on your behalf. Recoverable economic damages include:

  • Past and future medical bills
  • Lost income
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Treatment-related travel expenses
  • Property damage or total loss
  • Diminished property value

Recoverable non-economic damages include:

  • Physical disability
  • Physical disfigurement
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental trauma
  • Emotional distress
  • Diminished quality of life

Recoverable wrongful death damages after a fatal truck accident include:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of the decedent’s income
  • Loss of consortium and society
  • Your loved one’s medical bills

Our legal team will create a carefully detailed list—backed up by bills, receipts, and other documents—that substantiate their monetary value. We will not tax you or your family with this task. Instead, we handle every aspect of determining the value of your case for you.

The Statute of Limitations Could Affect More Than Your Potential Lawsuit

It can take time to get your bearings after a truck accident. Our law firm can handle the details of your case for you while still respecting and complying with the state-mandated filing deadline.

In general:

  • You have up to two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit, according to CC Art. 3492.
  • Your family has up to two years from the date of a loved one’s demise to file your wrongful death lawsuit, according to CC Art. 2315.2.

If you miss the filing deadline or misinterpret any potential changes, you could inadvertently relinquish your right to file at all. We work hard to avoid that costly consequence and to protect your right to go to court if needed.

We Organize and Submit Your Truck Accident Evidence

Because truck accidents can have multiple causes and contributing factors and involve multiple at-fault parties, determining fault can be challenging. When we collect evidence to build the strongest possible case file for you, it will include:

  • Medical records
  • Proof of income
  • Official police report
  • Lay witness statements
  • Accident scene photos
  • Injury photos
  • Dashcam footage
  • Truck driver logbooks
  • Truck maintenance records
  • Blood alcohol concentration tests

At Laborde Earles, our truck accident lawyer handling your Louisiana case will compile evidence and present it to the at-fault party in an organized fashion. We use the weight of the accumulated evidence to lead your case toward a settlement versus a lengthy trial.

Labore Earles’ Truck Accident Practice Areas
