Truck accident intake for Lafayette firms.
Commercial truck cases are high-stakes, and the first hours after a crash matter for evidence. Casestead answers every truck accident inquiry to your firm in about a minute, day or night, and books qualified people with your intake team in Lafayette.
What the reply desk asks
Qualifying questions come from your firm's written criteria. For truck accident inquiries, firms usually ask for:
- Date and place of the crash
- Type of truck and the company name on it, if seen
- Injuries, hospital and current treatment
- Police report or DOT involvement
- Whether an insurer or the trucking company already called them
- Whether they have a lawyer
Why the first minute matters
Trucking companies and their insurers often move quickly after a crash. A family that reaches out at night should hear back in minutes, with a booked time to talk to your intake team the next morning.
Follow-up
Unsigned truck consults get a follow-up draft that refers to their crash, for your intake lead to approve, so a high-value inquiry does not go quiet.
Louisiana context for intake
The general limitation period for personal-injury negligence claims in Louisiana is 2 years (2 years for injuries on or after July 1, 2024 (Act 423 of 2024); 1 year (former art. 3492) for earlier injuries). Inquiries about older incidents are flagged for a lawyer instead of being booked like a new case.
General rules for context only, not legal advice. Exceptions apply (minors, government defendants, discovery rules, recent amendments). Your firm's lawyers decide.
