If you have recently suffered through an 18-wheeler accident or other collision with a large truck on a Baton Rouge area roadway, no one needs to tell you about the intensity of the impact or the severity of consequences.

We have obtained sizable recoveries for many truck accident victims, and we maintain access to numerous experts qualified to reconstruct the accident and establish the cause.
Targeting the Maximum Recovery for You after an 18-Wheeler Accident
Louisiana laws require trucking companies and owner-operators to carry higher liability coverage than drivers of passenger cars. The specific requirement may be relative to the weight of the loaded truck, but many commercial trucks must have $500,000 to $1 million or more in coverage.
We will rigorously investigate your 18-wheeler accident, its causes and its total impact on you — always anticipating what may be challenged by an insurance company or ultimately necessary to win for you at trial. Our law firm has the proven ability and resources to battle powerful corporate opponents and win.
Among factors we may bring to bear on your case are:
- Violations of federal trucking regulations intended to keep fatigued and unqualified drivers off the road
- Negligence in driver background screening or maintenance of vehicles
- Other factors in your 18-wheeler accident, such as driver error, inattentiveness, speeding or substance abuse
