Hiring Our Big Rig Accident Lawyers to Lead the Legal Process in Ville Platte

When you are considering hiring a big rig accident attorney, also consider that truck accident cases:

• Often pit the victim (you) against a defendant with significant financial and legal resources (a trucking company)
• Generally require the plaintiff to secure evidence from the trucking company, which may not hand over the evidence voluntarily
• Generally involve complicated concepts, such as federal transportation regulations, crash dynamics, and truck mechanics and components
• May involve significant damage and resulting compensation, as the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) notes that trucks weigh 20 to 30 times as much as passenger vehicles

Your medical costs, property damage, and pain and suffering may all be significant. If you do not get the compensation you deserve from liable parties, you may pay out of your own pocket for these losses. 

Truck accident cases in Ville Platte are familiar territory for Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, and we intend to get the settlement or verdict you deserve. If you represent yourself after a big rig accident, you may risk:

• Losing your lawsuit
• Accepting a lowball settlement offer
• Putting your case ahead of your recovery, potentially worsening your injuries
• Exposing yourself to significant stress 

You do not have to run these risks. Let our team lead your case.
