What should I do immediately after an 18-wheeler accident?

Ensure safety by moving to a safe location if possible. Call 911 to report the accident and request medical assistance. Document the scene with photos and gather information from all parties involved. Seek medical attention promptly, even if injuries seem minor, as some symptoms may appear later.

How can I protect my rights after an 18-wheeler accident?

Avoid admitting fault or making statements to insurance adjusters without legal counsel. Consult with an experienced attorney who specializes in commercial vehicle accidents to guide you through the legal process and ensure fair compensation.

What compensation can I seek after an 18-wheeler accident?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses resulting from the accident. An attorney can help assess the full extent of your damages.

How long do I have to file a claim after an 18-wheeler accident?

In Louisiana, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically one year from the date of the accident. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the legal timeframe.

Should I accept a settlement offer from the trucking company's insurance?

It’s advisable not to accept any settlement offer without consulting an attorney. Insurance companies may offer quick settlements that don’t fully cover your damages. An attorney can help negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.

What evidence is important for my 18-wheeler accident claim?

Collect photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Obtain contact information from witnesses and keep records of medical treatments and expenses. This evidence can strengthen your case.

Who can be held liable in an 18-wheeler accident?

Liability may extend beyond the driver to include the trucking company, vehicle manufacturer, maintenance providers, or even cargo loaders if negligence contributed to the accident.

How can I prove negligence in a truck accident case?

Evidence such as black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, and eyewitness accounts can help demonstrate that the driver or company failed to meet safety regulations.

Should I seek medical attention even for minor injuries after a truck accident?

Yes. Injuries like whiplash or internal trauma may not appear immediately. Prompt evaluation documents your condition and strengthens any future claims.

What common mistakes reduce compensation in truck accident cases?

Failing to gather evidence, delaying medical treatment, or posting details on social media can all negatively affect the outcome of your claim.
