Forms of Compensation You Can Recover After a Marksville Truck Accident

You deserve compensation for your injuries and damages through a claim or lawsuit against the liable party. Each case varies, but we base what and how much you can seek on:

  • The injuries you sustained
  • The extent of your injuries
  • If you’re able to work
  • The medical treatment you’ll need and for how long
  • The effect your accident and injuries have on your mental health

From there, we can conclude that you may be entitled to recover these damages:

  • Pain and suffering 
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement
  • Mental anguish
  • Emotional trauma 
  • Lost income
  • Reduced future earning capacity
  • Property damage expenses
  • Past and future medical bills

According to the National Security Council (NSC), over 4800 trucks were involved in fatal accidents in 2020. If your loved one passed away from injuries sustained in such a crash, you may be able to obtain wrongful death damages.

How a Marksville Flatbed Truck Accident Lawyer at Our Firm Can Serve You

Taking on the complexity of the legal system on your own, especially when you’re injured, is daunting. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we want you to completely focus on healing from your injuries while we handle all legal matters, such as:

Compiling Different Pieces of Evidence

Evidence serves as the backbone of your case, as it tells the story of the truck accident, your injuries, and how they’ve affected your life. Common forms of evidence we gather in commercial truck accident cases include:

  • Photographs of the scene
  • Dashcam and other video footage
  • The police report
  • Black box data
  • Truck maintenance records
  • Statements from eyewitnesses
  • Your medical records

Trucking companies have certain information that’s difficult for a layperson to access, like black box data. Our attorneys have the resources and connections to get their hands on it and use it for your case.

Identifying Liable Parties in a Truck Accident Case

Whatever evidence we collect will help us identify who caused the crash. Usually, the truck driver bears responsibility for the crash in that they were intoxicated, speeding, distracted, or failed to follow road signals. However, they might not hold financial responsibility for your damages. Under respondeat superior, employers take the fall for their employees’ poor actions. With that, the trucking company would be on the hook for your damages.

There are instances in which the trucking company could have acted negligently, though. For example, they could have failed to conduct regular safety checks on the truck or properly vet drivers or pushed them not to take breaks so that they could make as many deliveries as possible.

Other parties who may be liable in a truck accident case include the cargo company, a government agency, or a parts manufacturer.

Negotiating a Settlement With the Insurance Company

Once we’ve gathered enough evidence and assessed the full extent of your damages, we will demand compensation from the liable insurance company. In general, they don’t accept the initial amount we ask for, so we are prepared to enter into negotiations. You can rely on your attorney to go back and forth with them until they reach a satisfactory figure.

Although we can usually settle out of court, that’s not always what happens. If that’s the case for you, we are willing to take your case to trial to continue your pursuit for compensation.

Filing a Lawsuit Against the Liable Party

If we end up suing the other party, you must be aware of certain timelines Louisiana enforces. According to CC 3493.1, you usually have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you’re filing a wrongful death lawsuit, the state typically gives you the same amount of time under CC Art. 2315.2.

Some circumstances could shorten or lengthen this time frame. Still, no matter how long you have, contacting our firm sooner rather than later is in your best interest. That is, if you’re too late to file your case, you may run out of options for compensation.

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