Why You Should Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Right Away
In the immediate aftermath of a truck accident, many thoughts might run through a victim’s mind—often so many that it overwhelms them. What do I do now? Do I need to call an ambulance? How will I pay for medical care? What if I have to miss work? How will I get my car fixed or replaced? The shock of the situation, along with the physical and emotional pain of your injuries, can cloud the answers to these questions.
A Lafayette current crash site lawyer from our team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can take action right away and begin to remove some of these stressful considerations from your shoulders. Our attorneys will handle the entire legal process, and we can get to work right away, starting at the crash site itself. We will begin investigating your accident and gathering evidence to show exactly what happened. We will determine who was liable and come up with a detailed plan to hold them accountable and pursue compensation.
The sooner you get us on your team, the sooner we will get to work for you. Here are a few specific benefits of involving a lawyer early in the process after a truck accident:
Fresh Evidence
The outcome of your case rests heavily on the strength of the evidence. As a general rule, the evidence is most powerful and effective when it is captured early. Think of a fingerprint on a doorknob. Right after a person leaves it, it is fresh and easy to capture. But over time, it fades and gets smudged, potentially making it less effective to identify the person who left it.
Most evidence is the same way. By getting a lawyer on your side immediately after a truck accident in Lafayette, you can start assembling a portfolio of fresh, detailed evidence that points to the responsible parties and shows why they are liable for your injuries.
Deadlines
Louisiana has a statute of limitations on personal injury claims, and depending on the circumstances of your case, there may be additional deadlines to consider. The consequences for missing one of these deadlines are substantial—you may lose the right to collect compensation for your injuries, even if you have a strong case and compelling evidence.
The best way to assure that you run into no issues with the statute of limitations and do not miss any other important deadlines is to take action right away after a truck accident. The minute you call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we will take action for you, ensuring that you do not miss any impending deadlines and that all of your obligations in filing a claim against the responsible party or parties are met.
Compensation
The legal process from beginning to end for recovering damages after a truck accident can be protracted at times. Particularly if the case goes to court—which usually happens when the other party does not agree to a fair settlement outside of court—it can be many months from when you first file a claim to when you receive compensation for your injuries.
While no lawyer can guarantee to get your case done and get you the compensation you deserve within a specific time window, what we can promise is that the sooner you take action with us, the sooner we can put the process into motion, working closer to a positive outcome.
Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers does not waste any time in getting to work for our clients. You can even call us from the crash scene, and we will send a member of our team to come out and begin the process of investigating.
