Truck Accidents

Louisiana Truck Accident Lawyer

When a truck and automobile collide, occupants of the car are most likely to be seriously injured or killed, for obvious reasons. Injured people and their families, and next of kin of fatality victims look to experienced truck accident attorneys for help when tanker trucks or semis crash on Louisiana streets and highways. The law firm of Creighton, Richards & Higdon in Covington, Baton Rouge, and Metairie, advocates on behalf of the injured and the bereaved after tanker trucks or semis are involved in accidents resulting in serious injury or death.

To schedule a consultation with a truck accident attorney, contact us. Our knowledgeable and determined injury lawyers will not leave any stone unturned in the pursuit of a clear understanding of the causes of the accident, and of all potential sources of liability and compensation. An early-on investigation may demonstrate that the truck rollover accident was caused or exacerbated by fault of the driver, trucking company, or other negligent party as follows:

• Driver error
• Lack of training of the truck driver
• Inadequate sleep on the part of the driver
• Poor maintenance of the vehicle
• Faulty truck inspections
• Faulty tires, brakes, or other components of the truck
• Tread separation
• Bad weather, combined with an eighteen wheeler driver's failure to adjust to weather conditions

We work hard for our clients who have been injured in serious accidents including truck crashes. Our aim is to help them obtain maximum available compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and costs associated with an accident, such as rehabilitation and reimbursement for transportation costs to medical appointments.

We are equally well prepared to negotiate outside of court, or to go to court as necessary in pursuit of full compensation after a client has been injured, or lost a family member in a tanker truck or flatbed truck-car collision. We adapt our approach to the needs of each case: informal negotiations, mediation, formal negotiations, arbitration, or court trials. We have the resources, the ability, and the will to take a lawsuit to court as needed. In most cases, our careful preparation and our reputation for firm advocacy result out-of-court settlements in our clients' favor.

For a thoughtful, no-risk consultation with an experienced Louisiana truck accident lawyer regarding your legal rights after a truck accident on or near interstate highways I-10 or I-12, or on any street or highway, contact Creighton, Richards & Higdon in Covington, Baton Rouge, or Metairie.
