The loss of a loved one in a truck accident is devastating, and we extend our condolences to you. Liable parties must be accountable for the tragic loss they have caused. A New Orleans fatal truck accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can fight for a financial recovery that represents justice for your family.
You will not pay anything up front to hire us. We represent victims of fatal truck accidents in New Orleans because it is the right thing to do. We do not get a fee unless we get a financial recovery for you.
Recoverable Damages for Victims of Fatal Truck Accidents in New Orleans
You can focus on mourning your loved one, and our fatal truck accident attorney will handle the legal aspects of your case.
We must identify the specific ways in which your loved one’s passing has affected you. Recoverable damages for victims of fatal truck accidents in New Orleans may include:
Pain and Suffering
For those who lose a loved one in a fatal truck accident, pain and suffering may include:
- The decedent’s physical pain and emotional distress
- Grief from the loss of a loved one
- Lost quality of life
- Difficulty sleeping
We may work with mental health professionals to identify all forms of pain and suffering that you are experiencing because of your loved one’s accident.
Lost Financial Support
Sometimes, truck accident victims leave behind those they supported financially. We can seek money to cover the loss of:
- The decedent’s income at the time of their passing
- The decedent’s work-related benefits, which may include health insurance
- Any other sources of financial support that the decedent provided their spouse and children
Your fatal truck accident lawyer may also consider the value of the decedent’s role in your household. A truck accident victim who completes handiwork, cleaning, and other duties in their home provides valuable services, and losing your loved one also means losing their value to your household.
Medical Expenses
Although your loved one eventually passed away, they may have undergone medical treatment following their accident. In fact, the cost of medical services aimed at saving your loved one’s life could be huge and may stem from:
- Emergency ambulance or medevac transport
- Emergency medical treatment
- Surgery
- Anesthesia
- Hospitalization
- Pain-related medications
The journal Injury Prevention found that the average cost of medical care for those with fatal injuries is more than $41,000 when the patient receives treatment in the emergency department. Whatever the cost of your loved one’s accident-related medical care, a truck accident wrongful death lawyer at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will seek full reimbursement for your healthcare expenses.
Loss of Consortium
Wrongful deaths leave survivors with several non-economic losses. We commonly refer to these damages as loss of consortium, which can include:
- Loss of spousal companionship
- Loss of romantic relations
- Loss of other personal and romantic benefits that a spouse receives from their partner
We also account for any other non-economic losses resulting from wrongful death, such as the loss of a parent’s guidance.
Funeral Expenses
Our fatal truck accident lawyer in New Orleans, LA, can seek full financial coverage for funeral expenses. Whether you hold (or held) the funeral in New Orleans or elsewhere, you should get money to cover the funeral and the burial.
