If you or a family member suffered a UPS truck accident, you can recover damages from UPS. However, if you do it yourself, you’ll have to establish your damages and UPS’s liability, and then you’ll have to negotiate your settlement or court verdict. All that can be really difficult for a claimant to do, especially in a case against a major entity like UPS.
If you let a truck accident lawyer from Laborde Earles seek damages for you, you won’t have to manage difficult legal matters on top of health and family matters. In a free consultation, we’ll tell you about how our lawyers have recovered hundreds of millions for our clients and about how your Marksville UPS truck accident lawyer will pursue damages for you.
What Kind of Compensation Can I Get After a Marksville UPS Truck Accident?
Today, you might already have a long list of economic and non-economic damages you want to pursue. You may be able to recover some or many of them through a claim or lawsuit against UPS. However, depending on which you choose, you may be limited to certain damages. Also, UPS’s insurance provider or attorneys may not be willing to cover certain damages.
Your list of compensable damages could include:
- Medical expenses you’ve incurred
- Vehicle expenses
- Lost income
- Lost income-earning ability
- Loss in your ability to enjoy certain activities
- Disability and/or disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Wrongful death damages (such as loss of familial love) if you lost a family member in the accident
Establishing Your Damages
A Marksville personal injury lawyer from our firm will help you establish your list of damages. For instance, your lawyer will help you anticipate and add damages you may have in the future, like occupational therapy expenses. Your lawyer can also help to identify and add non-economic damages that can be difficult to recognize, like emotional trauma.
Your lawyer will also help to establish the validity of your damages with UPS’s insurance provider and/or attorneys. To do this, your lawyer will gather evidence of your damages, such as your medical bills, and give a fair monetary value to your non-economic damages.

ClientWho Is Liable for Damages After a Marksville UPS Truck Accident?
As the victim of your accident, you are not liable for your own damages. UPS is likely liable. However, another party may be entirely or partially liable. For example, if another driver contributed to the accident by driving while distracted, they may be partially liable.
In such a case, you could pursue damages from both UPS and the driver. In any case, you or a lawyer from our firm will have to establish who’s liable for your damages.
Establishing Liability
One of our lawyers can accomplish this with certain evidence. This could be footage from an onsite security camera or information in the UPS driver’s delivery logs. Corroborating evidence, such as testimony from a truck accident reconstructionist, could help to establish liability.
To completely establish liability, however, your lawyer will also have to show each of the components of negligence in your case. These components include:
- Duty of care (a party’s responsibility to act with care in order to prevent harm to you)
- Breach of duty (a party’s irresponsible actions)
- Causation (how the party’s actions caused harm to you)
- Damages (your economic and non-economic losses)
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientHow Will My Marksville UPS Truck Accident Lawyer Resolve My Case?
Once your lawyer has established your damages and who’s liable for them, your lawyer will negotiate your settlement or court verdict on your behalf. The process will be complicated, especially since it will involve a major insurance company and possibly even multiple opposing attorneys and a judge.
In negotiations, your lawyer will argue your case and request a fair resolution. If your lawyer is negotiating for a settlement and the opposition doesn’t make a fair offer, your lawyer can threaten to sue them. If your lawyer is negotiating for a court verdict, your lawyer will demand the maximum value of your case.
If your case goes to court, your lawyer can hire experts, like medical experts, to corroborate your case.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
