Commercial Truck Vehicle Accidents

New Orleans Truck Accident Lawyer

Semitrucks (18-wheelers) and other large commercial trucks are a common presence on highways throughout Louisiana. Negligence on the part of truck drivers and trucking companies can lead to catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. If you have been injured in a truck accident or lost a loved one in a fatal truck accident, it is important to consult with an experienced Louisiana personal injury lawyer.

Causes Of Truck Accidents

Trucking companies and their insurance providers aggressively defend against injury claims. In handling a truck accident lawsuit, I aggressively seek out the facts in order to determine the cause of the accident and to identify the liable party or parties.

Common causes of trucking accidents include:

  • Driver fatigue
  • Drunk driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Overloaded trucks and unbalanced loads
  • Faulty truck maintenance
  • Faulty brakes
  • Faulty steering
  • Inadequate lights and reflectors

Truck Accident Injuries

Because of the speed and mass of large commercial trucks, the injuries suffered in truck accidents are often severe and catastrophic. Tragically, many truck accidents result in fatal injuries. Whatever type of injury you have suffered, I will aggressively pursue fair and just compensation for your losses.
