Louisville Truck Accident Lawyer

Truck accidents can be devastating, commonly causing catastrophic damage, severe injuries, and fatalities. If you or a loved one falls into this unfortunate situation, Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers is here to help. No one ever plans to be in an accident, let alone a truck accident. A party is responsible, and we want to secure justice for you.

A Louisville truck accident lawyer from our firm can identify the liable party and fight to hold them accountable for their actions or inaction. They will tirelessly advocate for you, working to achieve proper compensation so you can move forward from this accident more easily.

What to Do After a Jefferson County, KY Truck Accident

The first and most important thing to do after a truck accident is to get help from both law enforcement and paramedics. The police will fill out an accident report and may determine the liable party at the scene. You should obtain a copy of this report as it will contain crucial information that may favor your case.

Medical personnel can treat those who are injured. Even if you do not feel injured, it is important to receive medical attention. You should continue seeing a doctor after the accident to ensure no injuries are developing. 

Many injuries, like traumatic brain injuries (TBI), don’t present themselves right away. You also want to create a paper trail of medical records to show insurance companies that your injuries are from the truck accident, not something else. They may challenge where your injuries came from in an attempt to pay you less than you deserve.

Identifying Liability in Your Louisville Accident

Although the truck driver would seem to be the obvious liable party, the company who employs them or the carrier could be held liable instead, or in addition to the driver.

Other possible liable parties in a truck accident include the cargo shipper and loader, the vending parties in partnership with the trucking company, the manufacturer and parts maker, and government agencies and contractors (if applicable). 

Your lawyer will determine all the liable parties after an investigation and take necessary action to hold them accountable for their negligence. There are regulations imposed by the Federal Motor Carrier and Safety Administration (FMCSA) that a truck driver and their company must adhere to. When they fail to, we can prove this and fight for fair compensation.

Recovering Compensation

So, what can you be awarded money for after a truck accident? It can be a lot more than the cost of a few damaged car parts. Compensation can include present and future medical expenses, loss of income, loss of future earning potential, pain and suffering, scarring and disfigurement, mental pain, and property damage.

If the accident caused a loved one’s death, you may also seek wrongful death compensation. This can help cover funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship and guidance.

Let a Truck Accident Lawyer Do the Work

Dealing with any kind of accident can be inconvenient and overwhelming. At Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers, we have an in-house litigation team that will hit the ground running.

We’ll deal with the headache that comes with talking to insurance companies, retrieving evidence, and filing a suit. If a lawsuit is necessary, we will work to make sure your trial is a winning one. When dealing with a truck accident case, though, a lawsuit isn’t always the outcome. 

After determining who’s at fault, your lawyer will work to negotiate a fair settlement with an insurance adjuster. It is only if settlement negotiations fail that we will file a lawsuit.

Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers Wants to Be Your Advocate

Having worked with a variety of truck accident cases, our lawyers know the tactics used by insurers who bully and take advantage of accident victims. We are prepared to help in any way we can. We won’t let you fall prey to their tricks or leave money on the table. We will fight to get you the financial award you’re entitled to.

At Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers, we serve clients in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. Our dynamic group of lawyers has over 400 years of combined legal experience. We have recovered $2 billion in settlements.

Located at our Cherokee Road location, our on-site mock courtroom has helped many of our clients soothe their anxiety of possibly having to go to trial. Our team of committed lawyers will guide you through everything you need to know about what takes place at a trial. 

How Our Legal Fees Work

After a truck accident that stemmed from negligence, legal help can make a difference in the outcome of your case. However, you may worry about whether you can afford legal counsel, especially if you have mounting medical bills.

You don’t have to worry with us, though. We work based on a contingency fee agreement. This means we don’t collect any money upfront or on an hourly basis. 

If we are able to obtain a recovery for you, our fees and costs are taken from the recovery. When working with our team, we want your experience to be the least of your worries.

We Are Ready to Fight for You

Since 1993, our firm has helped many victims of truck accidents get justice. We take a personal approach when it comes to seeking a financial award for each case. One example of our victories includes a 2.5-million-dollar award for a woman who, unfortunately, was rear-ended by a tanker truck. The driver’s negligence caused her to endure a broken back, legs, and several ribs. 

We know truck accidents can be hard on victims and their families. At Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers, we make ourselves available 24/7. If you prefer to speak Spanish to us, we have Spanish-speaking attorneys and paralegals ready to assist you. For help after a truck accident, give us a call for a free consultation.
