Louisiana 18-Wheeler Accidents

After a Truck Accident, Get an Experienced Lawyer

Due to their sheer size, speed and weight, semi-trucks and 18-wheelers have the potential to cause serious damage and injuries, especially to smaller vehicles and their passengers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in the thousands of semi-truck accidents that happen each year in the United States, nearly 75% of injury victims are occupants of other vehicles.

One out of eight traffic fatalities results from a collision involving a large truck. At Murphy Law Firm, we represent the families in wrongful death actions when their loved ones have been killed in semi-truck accidents in Louisiana.

The attorneys at Murphy Law Firm have more than 28 years of combined personal injury experience and can provide the representation you deserve if you have been involved in a serious truck accident. Located in Baton Rouge, our lawyers will thoroughly investigate and review your crash to determine who was at fault and who should be held responsible for your injuries. We will pursue maximum compensation for medical treatment, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Don't be a victim twice! Make sure you are not taken advantage of by the insurance company. Read our Injury Accident Guide and learn more about what to do after an accident that leaves you or someone you love injured. Then call us at 225-928-8800 or toll free at 800-734-6545 to schedule a free initial consultation.

There are several common causes of truck accidents in Louisiana and elsewhere across the United States, such as:

  • Excessive speed
  • Drugs and alcohol
  • Driver fatigue
  • Jackknifing
  • Unrealistic schedules
  • Unbalanced loads
  • Pressure to meet deadlines, leading to too many hours worked and aggressive driving

Trucking companies and their insurance carriers are adept at mitigating damages and getting victims of truck accidents to accept less money than they deserve in settlement agreements. Before you talk with a representative from the insurance company, talk with a lawyer you can trust.

Don't Delay the Decision to Contact an Attorney
