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
New Iberia Penske Truck Accident Lawyer

Penske rents out trucks as small as cargo vans and as large as 26-footers that can carry up to 10,000 pounds of cargo. If you or someone you love was involved in a collision with one of these much larger vehicles, you could sustain serious injuries.

Our New Iberia Penske truck accident lawyer can work to recover the costs of your medical treatments, income loss, pain and suffering, and more. At Laborde Earles, we start by reviewing your case and explaining the steps we take to recover damages. We can carefully assess what happened and fight to hold the at-fault party accountable and achieve the best possible outcome for you.

What Damages Can You Recover After a Penske Truck Accident in New Iberia?

Our law firm has 350 years of combined experience representing injured clients, so our New Iberia truck accident lawyer understands the importance of accurately assessing and documenting the following:

  • Economic damages, which are tangible and can be documented with bills and receipts. They include your medical bills, loss of income, loss of earning ability, property damage or loss, and diminished property value.
  • Non-economic damages, which are intangible but can be backed up with tangible evidence of their monetary value. They include disability, disfigurement, pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

We also support families who lost a loved one in a truck accident. We can demand funeral and burial expenses and your loss of the decedent’s financial and domestic input, as well as your loss of consortium, society, companionship, and support. 

How Long do I Have to Get a Settlement or File a Lawsuit?

According to CC 3493.1, the personal injury statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of your truck accident. The wrongful death statute enforces the same deadline, according to CC Art. 2315.2.

You must comply with this time frame. Otherwise, you could be barred from filing your lawsuit at all, or it will be dismissed without ever being heard. 

Failing to meet the filing deadline could mean you will not have any legal recourse that compels the negligent party to compensate you. Our Penske truck accident lawyer serving New Iberia, LA, will help you avoid this costly consequence.

Common Form of Evidence in a New Iberia Truck Accident Case

Whether we pursue compensation from the driver of the rental truck via their private insurance or from Penske and their insurer, they will require proof of their policyholder’s liability. Our Penske truck accident attorney serving New Iberia, LA, will collect the evidence you need, which can include:

  • Medical records
  • Written prognosis
  • Proof of income
  • The official accident report
  • Injury photos
  • Accident scene photos
  • Witness statements
  • Driver history
  • Truck repair records

Every accident case is a unique occurrence and can require different evidence. We can build your case file with the supporting evidence it needs, which might vary from the list above. Leave it to us. We take on this daunting task for you so you can focus on getting better. 

Who Is Responsible for Compensating You After a Penske Truck Accident?

If the truck driver’s negligence caused your accident, we could demand compensation from their private insurance. In many cases, the weight of the truck could mean their insurance policy will not cover your losses. 

If the driver purchased an insurance policy through Penske when they rented the truck, we will seek compensation appropriately. We may also demand compensation from Penske’s insurance provider if the company improperly rented the truck or if faulty or inadequate repair or maintenance caused the accident. 

Determining fault and liability can be a complicated matter. Let us handle it for you. We will obtain and carefully scrutinize each insurance policy and identify the appropriate compensation option for you.
