I NEED HELP NOW

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
Marksville Forklift Truck Accident Lawyer

You have an expectation that a work site is safe and that forklift drivers will exercise caution as they operate the heavy machinery. But accidents happen, and when they do, serious injuries can result.

Injuries from a forklift accident can be devastating, as well as financially draining. Recovering compensation from the liable party can cover your losses. A forklift truck accident lawyer from Laborde Earles can handle the legal aspects of your case so you can rest and recover, knowing your case is in good hands. Our truck accident lawyers can handle your case while you recover.  

Types of Damages a Forklift Truck Accident Lawyer Can Recover in Marksville, LA

Maybe you have severe crush injuries. Or perhaps you broke several bones in addition to your cuts and bruises. But you could also have serious internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries that require intense medical treatment. 

As a result, you leave the hospital with the kind of medical debt that forces you to consider bankruptcy or selling all of your possessions to pay off. Your financial losses are crippling. However, if someone else’s negligence is the cause of your injuries and financial losses, you can file a personal injury lawsuit for compensation.

A personal injury lawyer from our firm can recover the following damages on your behalf:

  • Current and future lost income
  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Physical therapy
  • Counseling
  • Home services
  • Child care costs
  • Emotional distress
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disfigurement
  • Mental anguish
  • Disability
  • Loss of enjoyment
  • Wrongful death

Losing someone you love in an accident is heartbreaking. Had the liable party been more responsible on the job, the accident may have been prevented. Instead, you’ve been robbed of their presence and other resources they once provided you and your family.

We want to handle your case so you can grieve with your family during this painful time, and we offer our sincerest condolences and support.

There are no damage caps in Louisiana, so our goal is to seek an appropriate amount of compensation that will cover your damages. Our firm has won multi-million dollar settlements for clients who appreciate the hard work we put in to get them the compensation they deserve and have graciously left testimonials so potential clients like you can learn more about us before you decide to hire us.

Hiring a Lawyer Can Benefit Your Forklift Truck Accident Case in Marksville, LA

Hiring a lawyer to represent you may not be immediately on your mind after an accident. After all, you have injuries that need treatment, and you want to plan out your recovery. You may also want to spend time with family and friends.

Once you do make a decision about legal representation, you understandably want to weigh your options since there are many different firms to choose from. So, why should you hire our firm? What benefits can our firm bring to your case?

  • Guide you: You don’t have to navigate the legal process on your own. If you hire our firm, you can say you have a lawyer “on my side” who will navigate every step of the process with you. 
  • Collect evidence for you: The burden of proof is lower in a civil action, but you still must have evidence proving negligence and the losses you require compensation to cover. We will collect evidence such as medical records, video surveillance, pay stubs, photographs, safety records, and inspection logs to build a strong case.
  • Determine how much compensation you require: We want to seek the amount of compensation you deserve to cover your losses, so we will calculate the value of your claim.
  • Negotiate with the insurer: You don’t have to negotiate with the liable party and their insurer yourself. We will send a demand letter for the amount of compensation that will adequately cover your losses and negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
  • Represent you in court: We will go above and beyond to secure a fair compensation package for you, including filing a lawsuit and representing you at trial. We will present your case to a jury using our years of training and experience to fight for you.
  • We work on contingency: You don’t have to worry about the cost of our services because you don’t pay us unless we win your case and you receive compensation. We also offer free consultations so we can evaluate your case and answer your questions.

When you consider hiring a law firm, you want a lawyer who will lay out your options and has experience handling personal injury cases. We primarily handle personal injury cases, and we urge you to obtain legal representation as soon as possible after a forklift accident that left you with injuries and financial losses.

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

You Only Have a Limited Time to Act on a Truck Accident Lawsuit

Unlike most states, Louisiana only gives accident victims two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to CC 3493.1. You also only have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit, according to CC Art. 2315.2. 

It’s normal to take time after an accident to consider what you want to do next, but failure to file a lawsuit by the deadline in your case means you would lose your right to file a lawsuit. You can count on us to work to meet the statute of limitations so you can bring your case to court. This is also a reason why we urge you to consult a lawyer soon after an accident.

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