What Factors Contribute to Louisiana Truck Accidents?
Each day, hundreds of motorists, bikers and pedestrians are hurt because of the negligent actions of a truck driver or truck company. These accidents are the result of several factors, but regardless of the individual details of a particular collision, our Louisiana truck accident attorneys will help you obtain justice. Below are just some of the many factors that can lead to a truck accident and for which you and your loved ones can seek legal counsel:
- Truck driver violates traffic laws
Louisiana truck drivers can be held accountable for accidents if they were the result of speeding, erratic or aggressive driving, failure to stop at a stop sign or traffic light, and any other traffic violation.
- Truck driver violates safety regulations
If a truck driver was operating a commercial vehicle while fatigued or tired, if the driver fell asleep behind the wheel, or if the driver exceeded the maximum amount of time operating a vehicle before taking a break, they may be found liable for the accident.
- Truck company failed to properly maintain vehicle
If a truck company failed to make sure the vehicle was working properly, both the truck company and the driver may be held responsible for the accident
If you or a loved one were injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering. Contact one of our Louisiana truck accident lawyers today to discuss your rights and obtain the superior legal representation you deserve.
