Duson Truck Accident Lawyer

The size difference between a passenger vehicle and a large truck can leave you with severe injuries if there is an accident. The medical expenses from a large truck accident start adding up at the scene of the accident and continue until you are fully physically recovered.

A collision with a large truck can also leave you with a severely damaged or entirely destroyed vehicle. The cost to repair or replace your vehicle should not fall on your shoulders. Neither should the cost of:

  • Emergency and follow-up medical treatments
  • Costs to repair your vehicle
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity if you cannot do the same job as before your accident
  • Transportation costs to and from doctor or physical therapy appointments
  • Childcare costs
  • Replacement of personal items damaged in the accident

Seek the help of a Duson truck accident lawyer when you are ready to assign liability to the right party and to seek financial compensation for your accident-related expenses. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 to contact a team member who can help you with the next steps today. You could receive a free, initial consultation with us the first time you call.

How Vehicle Size Affects the Impact of a Large Truck

Passenger cars weigh significantly less than commercial trucks. In a collision, the size and height of a large truck can lead to a car becoming trapped underneath the truck.

Their weight also means large trucks require significantly longer road length and time to come to a full stop. In rain or traffic, it can be difficult for a truck to stop quickly. Additional important factors in a lighter vehicle versus heavier vehicle collision, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety:

  • The heaviest vehicle in a collision is more likely to push the lighter vehicle backward applying added force to the lighter vehicle and its occupants.
  • Occupants of the heavier vehicle have a reduced fatality risk.

Unfortunately, the number of accidents involving large trucks is high. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 4,761 people were killed in these types of crashes in 2017.

If you or a member of your family suffered an injury in a collision with a large truck in Duson, there may be legal options that help you recover financially from the aftermath of the accident. Connect with at truck accident lawyer with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777 today.

Evidence Is Important in your Duson Truck Accident

Your lawyer can help you determine if the time of day and lighting conditions played a part in the accident that caused your injuries. Discuss the time and day of the large truck accident you were involved in with a lawyer. Your legal team may collect evidence to support your case, like:

  • Witness testimony
  • Police and accident reports
  • Video and photographs of the accident scene and the weather conditions at the time of the accident
  • Any medical documents to prove a connection between your injuries and the accident

A Duson truck accident lawyer can work with you to establish your case plan and decide what forms of evidence you may need. There is a chance that we may be able to pursue the liable driver, the trucking company, or even a manufacturer of a faulty part of the truck that caused or contributed to your injuries. The trucking company may have encouraged the at-fault driver to violate Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Hours of Service Regulations, leading the truck driver to be drowsy or reckless.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Contact Us Today We want to be there for you

The Statute of Limitations May Pertain to Your Case

In Louisiana, you generally have as little as two years to hold the at-fault driver, his employer, his insurance carrier, or the manufacturer of his truck financially responsible for your accident-related expenses under Art. 3492 of the Louisiana Civil Code. However, there also may be exceptions to this timeline that could change how long you have. Your lawyer can inform you if any of these pertain to you and your case.

Speak to a truck accident lawyer to ensure you do not risk losing your opportunity to seek a monetary award from the liable party. You may be entitled to have the expenses of the accident covered by the responsible party. Discuss the details of the accident between your car and a large truck with a lawyer.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

The physical and emotional recovery that follows a collision with a large truck can take months or years before it is complete. An ongoing need for medical treatments, physical rehabilitation, and occupational therapy can extend that time significantly. The emotional part of the recovery process can take longer if a loved one is killed in a collision with a large truck.

It can also take months or years to recover from the financial impact of a large truck accident. When you are ready to pursue the driver who caused the accident, contact a lawyer immediately because your time to act is limited.
