What Damages Can I Get After a Marksville Delivery Truck Accident?
Since your accident occurred, you’ve likely been keeping track of some of your damages, like your financial losses. You can collect compensation for such losses and all your other damages, including your physical, mental, and emotional damages.
One of our firm’s truck accident lawyers can help you identify all of your compensable damages, even if some of them are intangible, such as your physical pain. Then, your lawyer will list the damages in your claim (or lawsuit) and pursue them from the at-fault parties’ insurers.
Your list of compensable damages could include:
- Physical pain and suffering due to your injuries
- Mental anguish and emotional distress due to your injuries and/or the accident
- Lost income and work benefits while you’re recovering from your injuries
- Lost earning potential if your injuries cause disability
- Bills for medical services and even various therapies, such as physical therapy and occupational therapy
- Bills for personal property damage or destruction, such as damage to your vehicle
- Any related damages you suffer or incur, such as loss of enjoyment of life or loss of consortium
- Wrongful death damages if your family is suffering the loss of a loved one

Who Will Compensate Me After My Marksville Delivery Truck Accident?
In a delivery truck accident case, one of several parties can be liable, including the truck driver, the delivery company, or even the local government. Multiple parties could even share liability. A Marksville, LA, truck accident lawyer from our firm can identify the liable party or parties in your case and then hold them to account for your damages. Our attorney may be able to recover compensation from many sources.
One of the first things your lawyer will do is seek out and secure potential evidence of liability. For example, your lawyer can:
- Obtain traffic or site security camera footage of the accident
- Obtain relevant delivery logs from the company
- Collect witness and even expert witness statements (such as a statement from a truck accident reconstructionist)
- File a spoliation letter to preserve the data on the truck’s black box data recorder and then obtain the data
Once your lawyer has evidence of liability, your lawyer will establish your compensation case. To establish liability, your lawyer must prove:
- The liable party or parties owed you a duty of care or responsibility to act in a careful way to keep you from harm.
- The party or parties breached, or violated, their duty of care.
- The breach of duty led to the incident.
- The incident resulted in compensatory damages that are due to you.
