If you were injured because of the negligence of another party, Louisiana’s personal injury laws allow you to pursue compensation from the parties who are liable for your personal injuries.
Truck Accidents
Because commercial trucks are so large and log so many hours each year, they must comply with additional laws. Nonetheless, many accidents involving these powerful vehicles continue to occur each year for reasons such as:
- Not complying with the hours of service rules promulgated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which aim to prevent fatigued driving accidents
- When truckers use drugs or alcohol while driving, in violation of state and federal laws
- Defective vehicles or vehicle parts that cause a trucker to lose control of their vehicle
- Inexperienced drivers who were hired without a thorough background check regarding their experience and driving history
