Statewide Representation: Port Allen and Lafayette Truck Crash Lawyers
The reasons that injuries are often life-changing or fatal when a big rig collides with an ordinary passenger vehicle are clear. Loaded semis, tractor-trailers, refrigerated trucks and construction vehicles can weigh up to 50 tons, and their sheer size and force almost guarantee destruction of any other vehicle in a crash.
The causes of specific trucking accidents are more difficult to untangle. Upon thorough investigation, a high percentage turn out to be related to driver fatigue, pure driver error or violations of an array of state and federal trucking regulations. After any serious or fatal crash in Louisiana, you can turn to our Baton Rouge truck accident lawyers for counsel and representation backed by decades of experience.
Extensive Knowledge of Truck Accident Causes and Regulatory Violations
Trucking companies and their insurers are extremely aggressive in efforts to minimize liability after injury-causing accidents. The chaos on 18-wheeler crash sites and other factors can make investigation extremely challenging. Not all personal injury attorneys have the knowledge, access to experts and other resources to handle litigation involving:
- Fatal truck accidents that justify wrongful death claims
- 18-wheeler accidents on Louisiana streets and highways
- Jackknife and rollover trucking accidents
- Trucking crashes with "hidden" causes such as driver fatigue or a transport company's failure to perform critical truck maintenance
- Wrecks in which multiple causes must be considered, including defective highway design or negligent setup of a construction zone
