Car and Truck Accidents New Orleans Truck & Car Accident Lawyers New Orleans, Louisiana: Truck and Car Accidents Car accidents can be minor—involving only property damage or minor injuries. Car accidents can also cause injuries that are serious, life-threatening or even fatal. If you have been injured or a family member was killed in a car accident you should seek qualified legal advice before you do anything else. After a car accident, you may want to put the accident behind you, or you may feel that because of your desperate financial circumstances you should accept the insurance company’s first settlement offer. It is extremely important for you to contact an experienced personal injury attorney before you accept any payment or settlement offer—whether from your insurance company or the other drivers involved in the accident.

We also document the effect your injuries have had on every aspect of your life. We understand how a serious injury or disability can change your life forever. While no amount of money can really compensate you for a catastrophic injury, a fair settlement can help provide financial stability for you and your family. Investigating Trucking Accidents If you or a family member has been injured in an accident involving a long-haul truck or big-rig, it is even more important to talk to an attorney before you settle your personal injury or wrongful death claim. Trucking companies are complex legal entities and truck accidents are usually complicated. It is important to investigate all possible causes of a truck accident, including driver fatigue, careless or drunk driving, speeding, defective truck parts, an improperly maintained tractor trailer or overloading. When handling truck accident cases, we research the trucking company, the truck driver, the owner of the tractor and the trailer and work to identify any other individuals or companies that may be responsible for the accident. Getting advice from a lawyer who has experience with truck and car accident cases can be invaluable. Your attorney will assess your situation with a sharp eye towards making sure that your eventual settlement compensates you as fully as possible.
