When a Serious or Fatal Car Accident Involves a Large Truck, You Need the Help of a New Orleans Injury Lawyer!

Louisiana motorists share the road with 18-wheelers, semi trucks and other large commercial vehicles daily. They also share in the catastrophic consequences that occur when a negligent trucker is behind the wheel, or a trucking company takes shortcuts on safety. A collision with a large commercial truck often results in a fatal car accident or life-altering injuries. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a Louisiana truck accident,  you must act immediately.  

A New Orleans injury lawyer who has experience with eighteen wheeler crash cases understands how confusing and overwh[P1] elming things can get when a car and truck crash results in injury. We want to take the burden off of you and your family at this difficult time.

The Insurance Company Isn't On Your Side After a Car and Truck Crash 

The insurance companies from both sides may contact you and pressure you to sign over your legal rights to compensation. Do not sign anything or speak with the insurance companies-particularly if your case involves a fatal car accident-without first educating yourself. Our New Orleans injury lawyer team is happy to provide free, useful information in our truck accident article library as well as a FREE copy of our accident injury guide. We are also ready to represent your interests against the insurance company so you can level the playing field.

How Does a Fatal Car Accident Involving a Large Truck Occur?

Louisiana truck accidents can occur due to a variety of factors but are most often due to negligence on the part of the trucker or trucking company. Negligent acts that can lead to a car and truck crash in New Orleans include: 

  • aggressive driving;
  • tailgating;
  • speeding;
  • cell phone use and texting while driving;
  • unrealistic work schedules leading to long work shifts and driver fatigue;
  • untrained or unqualified drivers;
  • drug and alcohol abuse;
  • failure to inspect properly and maintain lights, tires and brakes; and
  • unbalanced or overloaded cargo.


Any of these acts of negligence can lead to a fatal car accident in Louisiana or an accident that means lifelong pain and suffering for the victim. A New Orleans injury lawyer will work with experts to investigate the cause of your car and truck crash and collect the evidence that is necessary to prove negligence. Truck companies and their insurers stand to lose big in a personal injury or wrongful death case related to a truck accident in Louisiana. You can bet on them pulling out all stops in the defense of their case. Don't you deserve to have someone on your side?
