In our country, many people suffer serious injuries and ultimately may be killed when they are involved in accidents with 18 wheelers due to their size and weight.

Given their ability to inflict damage to the motoring public, our Louisiana Law Firm devotes a large part of its resources and practice to prosecuting claims against the owners, operators, and drivers of 18 wheelers. To prevent dramatic situations arising from these accidents, and in particular failures of industry safety, several laws have been enacted requiring drivers to rest more before driving.

Although it is well known that these "big rigs" cause countless accidents in which people and property are severely damaged, injured parties often do not have the resources and knowledge to protect their interests in these accidents. Innocent victims of these accidents are often outnumbered by representatives of the 18 wheeler trucking companies that mobilize investigators to the accident scene in order to begin taking statements, photographing the scene and generally immediately preparing their defense of the accident while at the accident scene. These procedures are in place to protect the trucking companies and leave the injured party "on his own" early on in the claim process. It is easy to understand that trucking companies and drivers put public at risk by not complying with, among other things, maintenance and safety regulations. Therefore, our New Orleans Law Firm will relentlessly pursue any claims an injured party has in these areas.

Other issues that we routinely investigate in these cases include failure of trucking companies to conduct regular safety meetings, the hiring of unqualified and inexperienced drivers, just to cite a few.
