St. Charles Parish Big Rig Accident Lawyer

Big rigs and other large vehicles can easily get out of the driver’s control or fail to slow down in time, which can lead to an accident. These accidents can be so serious that people lose their lives. In 2021, there were 90 fatal crashes involving trucks in Louisiana, according to the Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development.

If you were hurt or lost a loved one in a truck accident, a St. Charles Parish big rig accident lawyer with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you seek compensation for your damages.

What Our St. Charles Parish Attorneys Can Do for You After a Big Rig Crash

As your big rig accident lawyers in St. Charles Parish, LA, we’ll look at all available evidence that could help us show which party is liable and should pay out your claim or lawsuit. This evidence could include the following: 

  • Security camera footage
  • The police report
  • Statements from witnesses
  • Relevant photographs
  • Dashcam video
  • Truck maintenance history
  • Medical records and bills
  • Black box data

Along with building an argument with the goal of winning in court or, more likely, settling out of court, we may research similar cases to show how much you are entitled to seek.

We can build your case, go to bat with the insurance company, and fight for your right to compensation on a contingency-fee basis. That means we don’t ask for any fees up front, by the hour, or out of your pocket. If your truck accident attorney can recover a financial award for you, they take their payment from that. We only get paid if you do, so you have nothing to lose.

Don’t Wait to File a Lawsuit After a Big Rig Accident in St. Charles Parish, LA

You only have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit. If you’re filing a personal injury lawsuit, CC Art. 3492 says you typically have two years to bring this action against the liable party.
