Louisiana 18-Wheeler & Truck Accident Lawyer

Louisiana's truck corridors are dangerous

I-10, I-12, I-49, I-55, and US 90 carry some of the heaviest commercial traffic in the South, moving freight between Texas, New Orleans, and the rest of the country. Port traffic, petrochemical hauling, and oilfield equipment add heavy trucks to nearly every highway in the state.

Common questions

Why are 18-wheeler cases different from car accident cases?

Commercial trucks are governed by federal safety regulations covering driver hours, maintenance, and inspections. The cases involve trucking companies, their insurers, and sometimes brokers and shippers, with far larger insurance policies and far more aggressive defense teams.

What evidence matters in a truck accident case?

Driver logs, electronic control module data, dash cam footage, maintenance records, and drug and alcohol testing. Much of this evidence can be lost or overwritten quickly, which is why we send preservation demands immediately.

The trucking company's insurance already called me. What do I do?

Do not give a statement and do not sign anything. Trucking insurers dispatch rapid response teams to crash scenes within hours. You need someone doing the same on your side.
