With offices in Lafayette, Louisiana, and Orange, Texas, we advise people with personal injury or wrongful death claims against local or out-of-state trucking companies, independent owner-operators, delivery express companies and the employers of professional drivers whose negligence played a significant role in the accident.
Our attorneys also represent local and out-of-state truck drivers and commercial drivers who have been injured in accidents in Texas or Louisiana.
Truck accident litigation bears little resemblance to the pursuit of claims for damages suffered in a car accident. The main differences are the severity of the injuries in the typical case, and the availability of commercial insurance to meet your claims.
High-limit insurance can be a mixed blessing, however. While there is usually enough coverage available to meet your damages claim, the defense has an incentive to require proof of every detail of your losses. We therefore work closely with experts throughout the case to make sure that your injuries are diagnosed and treated, your future treatment needs are accurately projected, and we have the facts necessary to cover any objection the defense might raise in your case.
We know how to prove complex claims in Louisiana and Texas
Our legal and practical understanding of the trucking industry, including the obligations of trucking companies and drivers to comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, can give you a definite advantage in truck accident litigation.
