Truck Accident Settlement in Louisiana

What you need to know about your truck accident lawsuit in Louisiana

When you are the victim of a semi truck accident, you can suffer considerable financial and other losses. You deserve compensation for the following: 

  • Medical/hospital bills
  • Short-term wage losses
  • Long-term economic hardship from continued loss of earnings
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life
  • Physical therapy
  • Physical and mental pain and suffering
  • Disfigurement
  • Funeral Expense

Add to all of this the general stress of caring for your family in the aftermath of a trucking accident and you may find yourself willing to accept the first settlement offer that comes your way just so that you can move on. In fact, you have probably already received an offer from at least one insurance company adjuster.

Liability is complicated in trucking accidents because multiple parties could be held liable, including:

  • The truck owner
  • The freight owner
  • The driver 
  • The driver’s employer
  • The truck’s manufacturer

It is also possible that third parties are involved, such as maintenance companies, vehicle manufacturers and third party drivers. All of these parties' principal concern is not making sure you earn a top settlement in a Louisiana trucking accident lawsuit, but protecting their own interests. 

You need professional advice for your Louisiana truck accident lawsuit

While a Louisiana truck accident settlement offered by an insurance company may seem like a good offer at first, it is important to remember that the goal of any insurance company is to pay out as little as possible. Tens of thousands of dollars may seem like a lot, but it is not much for a major insurance company, and may not take into consideration all of your family’s future needs.

This is where you need the advice of a trucking accident attorney. They have the necessary expertise to evaluate a Louisiana trucking accident settlement and decide if it is just compensation. If it is not, they will assist you in building a strong case against one or more defendants that will provide you with a settlement that is fair, not just expedient for an insurance company.

The attorneys of The Cardone Law Firm have your interests at heart. Without them, your trucking accident settlement in Louisiana may fall well short of what is fair compensation.
