Demonstrating All Parties Responsible for Your Injuries
To maximize your compensation recovery, our legal team will seek out all details from your case to determine who is responsible. It is not uncommon for more than one person or company to be responsible for the injuries and losses victims have. Some examples of those who may be at fault include:
- Truck drivers
- Trucking companies employing the driver
- The owners of the truck, if different
- Cargo loading companies
- Vehicle maintenance teams
- Truck manufacturers
- Third parties involved in the accident
By gathering all of this evidence, we know how to build a claim that gets the attention of insurance companies and forces at-fault parties to take your claims seriously. With our years of experience behind every case, you can expect our truck accident attorney in Harvey to build a strong claim that aggressively protects your future. Before you settle your claim, contact our team to discuss your case thoroughly.

Truck accidents happen every day in Louisiana, and many times, they are due to the negligence of drivers or trucking companies. One of the first steps you may take is gathering all available evidence to document all parties that may be responsible for your losses.
We do not simply rely on police reports but gather evidence such as the following to demonstrate all parties at fault:
- Truck accident logs that act as black boxes to record the driver’s actions and truck performance right before the incident took place
- Records that demonstrate if the truck meets all of the required maintenance and inspection requirements set under federal law (Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance for Motor Carriers of Passengers)
- Documentation that shows if the driver was physically present at the time of the accident, such as whether they were intoxicated
- Evidence that demonstrates how the truck was loaded and whether cargo loading companies did so following best practices
- Research the truck driver’s hours of service to see if the driver was given the necessary breaks and time off as required under the law
- Determine if a manufacturer defect or a truck repair technician’s mistake could have caused your accident
- Document witness statements that support what you saw occurring prior to the accident
We will work aggressively to understand each detail and the cause of your accident. That enables us to develop a legal strategy to address the losses you incurred. The insurance company for the trucking company will never provide you with these details, but our legal team will force access when we apply the law to your case. Read our FAQs to learn more.
Serious Injuries Benefit from Dedicated Lawyers
Victims of serious truck accidents often face a long road to recovery, and in many situations, full recovery is impossible.

- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones with complex fractures
- Spinal cord or column injuries
- Lacerations that damage muscles or ligaments
- Nerve damage
- Burns
- Disfigurement
- Internal organ injuries
- Emotional trauma and suffering
In each of these cases, it is crucial to understand the level of recovery possible and the limitations you may face from now until then. You have the right to pursue all damages suffered, including physical, emotional, and financial, related to these injuries and the accident. Expect Scott Vicknair Injury Lawyers to fight for fair compensation to the fullest level allowed under the law.

While you focus on recovering from your injuries, we will build a comprehensive claim that includes all potential losses you have. Our experience in holding insurance companies accountable gives us the ability to be aggressive in building an evidence-based claim. Some of the losses commonly associated with truck accidents include:
- Medical expenses: Losses may include emergency medical care you received, hospitalization costs, fees for ongoing rehabilitation, medical device costs, testing, and any other related expenses to your recovery
- Loss of income: Many victims are unable to work for a long period of time, and that means loss of wages, bonuses, and other forms of compensation they would have received
- Ongoing medical and health care needs: This may include the professional medical care you need in your home, or future medical costs you are expected to have
- Property damage: The cost to repair or replace your vehicle or any other property damaged in the accident
- Emotional trauma: Truck accidents create mental health complications, including post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression, that you should be compensated for
- Pain and suffering: Often one of the most complicated elements of a claim, you deserve compensation for any pain and suffering you have experienced during your accident or through the recovery process
- Disability: For victims with disabilities or catastrophic injuries, your right to fair compensation can also be critical and difficult to calculate
Do not let insurance companies make these decisions for you. Instead, protect your future by hiring legal representation you know you can depend on. Our team is here to help, and our case results tell our story of client success.
