Getting hit by a truck changes everything. The injuries are more serious, the bills pile up faster, and the trucking company already has lawyers working to protect themselves — not you. We step in, figure out everyone who’s responsible, and fight to make sure they pay for what you’re going through.

This covers emergency room visits, surgeries, physical therapy, medicine, and any doctor care you’ll need in the future.

The money you didn’t earn because you were too hurt to work or had to miss time for doctor appointments and recovery.

Money for your physical pain, the stress and trauma from the crash, and the life your injuries have taken from you.

Getting your vehicle fixed or replaced, plus a rental car while yours is in the shop.

If your injuries mean you can’t return to your old job, or you’ll need medical care for years to come, we fight to get you paid for that too.

Whether it just happened or it was weeks ago, these steps protect your health and your case:

See a doctor right away. Truck accident injuries — even ones that feel minor at first — can become serious or have a delayed onset. Your health comes first, and medical records document exactly what the crash did to you.

Their insurance team will contact you fast. Don’t say anything, sign anything, or accept any offer. They’re working to protect their money, not get you what you deserve.

Take photos and videos of all vehicles, the scene, road conditions, and your injuries. Get the truck driver’s information, the trucking company name, and any witness contact info.

Trucking companies have lawyers working on your case from the moment the crash happens. You should too. We’ll investigate immediately, preserve critical evidence, and fight for everything you’re owed.

Our attorneys have spent decades taking on trucking companies and their insurers — and winning. We know the federal regulations they’re supposed to follow and exactly how to prove when they didn’t.

Trucking companies have powerful legal teams ready to fight your claim from day one. They’ll dispute your injuries, question your story, and drag things out hoping you’ll give up. We’ve spent over 40 years learning how to beat them in Louisiana courts, with Louisiana judges.

We’ve recovered over $10 billion for our clients by building cases that win. In truck accident cases, that means investigating the crash, pulling the truck’s black box data, reviewing driver logs, hiring accident reconstruction experts, and fighting for every dollar you deserve.

You’re dealing with serious injuries, mounting bills, and a totaled vehicle while a trucking company’s lawyers are already building their defense. We level the playing field. Our attorneys are always available, our staff knows you by name, and we handle the legal fight so you can focus on healing.

Common Questions About Louisiana Truck Accident Cases

How is a truck accident case different from a regular car accident?
Truck accidents involve commercial insurance policies with much higher limits, federal trucking regulations, and often multiple liable parties — the driver, the trucking company, the cargo company, and others. These cases are more complex, and the stakes are higher. You need a lawyer who knows how to handle them.

Who can be held responsible for my truck accident?
It’s not always just the driver. The trucking company, the company that loaded the cargo, the truck’s maintenance provider, and even the truck manufacturer can all be liable depending on what caused the crash. We investigate every angle.

What if the trucking company is blaming me?
That’s their first move: blame the other driver to reduce what they owe. We fight back with evidence, black box data, driver logs, police reports, and accident reconstruction experts to prove what really happened.

Do I have to pay you upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing unless you win your case, and our fees come out of that settlement amount.

The trucking company’s insurance called me. Should I talk to them?
No. Do not speak to them, sign anything, or accept any offer without talking to us first. They are not on your side. Even a casual conversation can be used against your case.

Who pays my medical bills after a car accident in Louisiana?
In Louisiana, medical bills after a car accident may initially be paid by health insurance, Med Pay, or providers, but they are often recoverable from the at-fault driver’s auto insurance.

Who pays for my rental car after a wreck in Louisiana?
In Louisiana, rental car expenses are typically recoverable when your vehicle is not drivable due to a car accident.

What if the insurance company stops paying for my rental car?
In Louisiana car accident claims, a rental cutoff does not end your case. Rental expenses may still be recovered later.

What happens if my car is totaled?
Under Louisiana property damage rules, you are generally entitled to the fair market value of the vehicle at the time of loss — not necessarily the first number the insurance company offers. Total-loss values can often be challenged.

How is pain and suffering calculated in Louisiana cases?
Across Louisiana, pain and suffering refers to non-economic damages for physical pain, mental anguish, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life under Louisiana law.
