Delivery Van Drivers Can Be Held Accountable in Baton Rouge
If you were hurt in an accident involving a delivery van in East Baton Rouge Parish, you would need to gather certain evidence to move forward with your case. You will need to prove that the delivery truck driver caused the accident or there is another reason why their employer may be liable. We will help you with this process and every other step in your case. We can handle gathering and analyzing evidence in your case while you recover from your injuries.
You may be able to seek compensation for several delivery van accident situations in Baton Rouge, including:
- Amazon deliveries
- Other package deliveries
- Postal trucks
There are specific laws that make it possible to build a case against the employer of the delivery van driver, also known as vicarious liability. These laws may allow you to seek compensation based on the company’s corporate liability insurance policy. A Baton Rouge personal injury lawyer can explain more about local or state laws that apply to your case.

Time Limits on Filing Civil Action in Louisiana
You likely only have one year from your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in East Baton Rouge Parish. Because the Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492 sets this strict deadline, we recommend starting your claim immediately.
Many Baton Rouge car accidents settle without going to court. However, for those who do not, or if there are other reasons why we need to file a lawsuit, we must do so before time runs out.
Missing the deadline could prevent us from taking your case to the judge and jury and seeking a court award for you. This could mean you will have a limited ability to recover just compensation for your accident losses.
