Why Are Truck Accidents More Complex than Other Auto Collisions?

Unlike regular auto accidents involving two drivers, several parties may have caused or contributed to the accident in delivery van accidents. These can include the driver, the delivery company, the van or truck manufacturer, the maintenance company, the cargo loading company, a parts manufacturer, or even a municipality that governs the road conditions. While this enables more avenues to seek compensation, dealing with several different insurers complicates the legal process.

We have a reputation for managing complex cases involving powerful defendants and have plenty of experience to draw upon. Additionally, our delivery truck accident lawyers have an in-depth knowledge of the state and federal trucking laws and regulations that may apply to your case. We will help you gather, preserve, and organize the evidence required to prove another party’s financial liability for your injuries.

How do I Calculate the Value of My Personal Injury Claim?

There is no cap on the amount of financial damages a victim can recover in compensation for most personal injury cases in Louisiana. Everyone we represent faces unique challenges, so we assess economic damages on a case-by-case basis. However, the greater the injuries of the accident victims, the higher the settlement in the majority of cases.

How do I Know If I Have a Case After a Delivery Truck Accident?

The basis for filing a personal injury lawsuit rests on another party’s negligence. As Louisiana is an at-fault state, proving the driver’s fault is essential for receiving a financial award. In truck accidents, negligence could involve:

  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or while fatigued
  • Distracted driving by using a smartphone or dispatch device
  • Over-loaded cargo or improperly-loaded cargo
  • Failing to exercise caution in poor weather conditions
  • Failure to properly maintain vehicles
  • Ignoring hiring best practices and regulations
  • Failing to provide appropriate driver training and safety courses

Unfortunately, there are many other examples of negligence in truck accidents, so if you believe someone else was responsible for causing your accident, your lawyer can walk through your case with you to find concrete evidence.

How Long do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Louisiana?

The statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in New Iberia is generally two years from the accident date or the date of the loved one’s passing per CC 3493.1 and CC Art. 2315.2. However, due to the time it takes to gather the evidence, we always advise acting sooner rather than later.

Has Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Represented Clients in Truck Accidents Before?

Our team has over 350 years of combined legal experience at our disposal to build and pursue your case. Some of our more recent recoveries in trial verdicts and settlements for truck accident victims include:

  • A $2,700,000 settlement for an 18-wheeler accident victim
  • A $1,800,000 settlement for an 18-wheeler accident victim
  • A $1,750,000 trial verdict for an 18-wheeler accident victim
  • A $1,200,000 trial verdict for an 18-wheeler accident victim

While financial damages vary for each case, we hope our results help to demonstrate our experience in this complex legal field. We fight for each client to receive compensation that will help them move forward and financially recover from their accident.
