Louisiana
Delivery Truck Accident Lawyer

When a delivery truck accident turns your life upside down, the stress can feel overwhelming. You may be in pain, worried about paying bills, and unsure where to turn for help. At Loyd J. Bourgeois Injury & Accident Lawyer, we understand what you are going through. Our team of Louisiana truck accident lawyers is here to guide you, answer your questions, and fight for the financial support you need to recover.

These cases can be complicated. Delivery companies and insurance adjusters often try to limit what they pay. Without the right help, you risk being underpaid. With LJBLegal, you can feel confident knowing that we will build your case with care, experience, and attention to detail. Our goal is not only to help you recover more but also to make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

Why Work With LJBLegal?

Accidents with delivery trucks often cause serious injuries like broken bones, back injuries, or head trauma. These are not simple fender-benders. They require a team that knows how to investigate, prove fault, and make sure the responsible parties are held accountable.

• Local experience: We know Louisiana law and courts, and we understand the challenges delivery truck cases bring.
• Personal attention: You will not be just another case file. Our attorneys and case managers work closely with you to guide your recovery.
• Clear communication: With our client portal app, you have 24/7 access to your case status, a secure place to upload documents, answers to common questions, and direct messaging with your attorney or case manager.
• Strong advocacy: Most cases settle before trial, but if yours does not, we are ready to take the next step with confidence and preparation.

What Causes Delivery Truck Accidents?

Most crashes do not happen by chance. They often result from preventable problems such as:

• Driver fatigue: Long hours and tight schedules leave drivers exhausted and slow to react.
• Poor maintenance: Worn brakes, bald tires, or faulty lights create dangerous conditions.
• Improper loading: Uneven or unsecured cargo can make trucks unstable and more likely to roll over.

How Do We Prove Negligence?

To win fair compensation, we need to show that the delivery company or driver acted carelessly. Our attorneys at LJBLegal know what evidence matters most:

• Police reports that document what happened
• Medical records that show the extent of your injuries
• Photos and videos of the crash scene and damage
• Witness statements, including details about blind spots and distracted driving

We may also work with trusted experts in medicine, trucking safety, or accident reconstruction to strengthen your case when needed.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Compensation falls into two main categories: financial losses and personal losses. Both matter when rebuilding your life after a serious crash.

Economic Damages

• Medical expenses for hospital stays, surgeries, therapy, and future treatment
• Lost wages and reduced earning ability if your injuries keep you from working
• Property damage for repairing or replacing your vehicle

Non-Economic Damages

• Pain and suffering caused by serious injuries
• Emotional distress and the stress of daily challenges
• Loss of enjoyment of activities you once loved

What Should You Do After A Delivery Truck Accident?

The steps you take right after a crash can make a big difference in your health and your case:

• Seek medical care, even if injuries seem minor
• Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and damage
• Collect contact information for any witnesses
• Call the police and request a copy of the report
• Reach out to LJBLegal before speaking with insurance adjusters

Who May Be Responsible?

In a delivery truck crash, more than one party may be at fault. We carefully investigate to identify all sources of responsibility and insurance coverage.

• The driver: Distracted driving, speeding, or fatigue
• The employer: Poor training, unsafe schedules, or skipped maintenance
• Third parties: Faulty truck parts or unsafe road conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do I Have To File A Claim?

In Louisiana, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. It is best not to wait. Evidence can be lost, vehicles repaired, and witnesses harder to find if too much time passes. Getting started sooner also gives your Louisiana personal injury attorney more time to build a strong case.

How Is The Value Of My Claim Determined?

Every case is different, but these factors usually matter most:

• The cost of your medical care and future treatment
• The amount of lost income and changes to your ability to work
• The seriousness of your injuries, including long-term effects
• The emotional and daily impact on your life
• The insurance coverage available from all responsible parties

What Should I Do If The Insurance Company Calls?

Be polite, but keep it simple. Do not admit fault, do not guess about your injuries, and do not agree to anything right away. Write down the name and company of the person who called you. Then, let LJBLegal handle the conversation from there.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire LJBLegal?

At LJBLegal, cost should never keep you from getting the help you need. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means:

• No upfront costs: You do not pay anything to hire us.
• No fee unless we win: We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
• No surprises: Our fee stays the same even if we need to file a lawsuit or go to trial.
