Semi-trucks are larger and heavier, and take longer to slow down, meaning crashes are typically at higher speeds. All of these factors increase the impact of the collision, worsening the injuries and other damages.<\/p>\n<p>There were <a href=\"https:\/\/cartsdashboardserver.lsu.edu\/t\/CARTS\/views\/SectionH-Dashboard\/SectionH-Dashboard?:embed=y&amp;:display_count=n&amp;:showAppBanner=false&amp;:origin=viz_share_link&amp;:linktarget=_self&amp;:showVizHome=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">90 vehicle crashes<\/a> involving commercial vehicles in 2024 in Jefferson Parish, and one of these was sadly fatal.

All of these costs require a higher settlement in order to recover financially. Unfortunately, recovering these higher settlements is not easy.

In truck accidents, fault is much more complicated. <strong>There are numerous parties that need to be investigated for fault, and it is more common that multiple parties are partially liable in these crashes, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The truck driver<\/li>\n<li>The truck driver\u2019s employer<\/li>\n<li>The trucking company<\/li>\n<li>A mechanic or maintenance company<\/li>\n<li>A truck inspector<\/li>\n<li>A shipping or loading company<\/li>\n<li>The owner of the cab or trailer<\/li>\n<li>Another driver<\/li>\n<li>The manufacturer of a truck or car part<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Any of these parties could be fully or partially liable for the accident due to negligent actions, so a thorough investigation is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if an accident was caused by a tire blowout on a commercial vehicle, the trucking company may be liable for failing to ensure proper inspections or maintenance. A third-party maintenance company or inspector could be liable for failing to note or fix the issue. A third-party loading company may be liable for overloading the vehicle, causing the tire failure. The manufacturer may also be liable for a defective car part.<\/p>\n<p>When you hire Murphy Law Firm, we can conduct a thorough investigation, determining the reason for the accident and which party or parties are liable.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"federal-regulations\"><\/span>Federal Regulations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Governmental regulations establish many requirements for commercial trucks and trucking companies in response to the significant danger these vehicles pose. <strong>These requirements address several aspects of the trucking industry:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The service hours of drivers, including required rest and break times<\/li>\n<li>Motor carrier registration and insurance requirements<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol and drug testing requirements for drivers<\/li>\n<li>Inspection, repair, and maintenance requirements for vehicles<\/li>\n<li>Driver certification and license standards<\/li>\n<li>Cargo weight limits for vehicles<\/li>\n<li>Transportation of hazardous materials safety regulations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Violations of these regulations can point to the at-fault party, but it can be complicated to uncover violations if you are not familiar with them.

A truck driver who is to blame for the accident is usually not directly liable. As an employee, their employer is vicariously liable, so insurance claims are filed with the trucking company&#8217;s insurance. If another driver is to blame, their insurance is held accountable for damages.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-louisiana-a-no-fault-accident-state\"><\/span>Is Louisiana a No-Fault Accident State?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louisiana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Louisiana<\/a> is not a no-fault accident state. If you are involved in a collision with a commercial truck, then you can recover financial compensation from the insurance company of the at-fault driver or other party. Proving fault requires proof that a party owed you a duty of care, failed to uphold that duty, and this failure caused you injury and other damages. A trucking company may be vicariously liable or directly responsible for actions like failing to train drivers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-money-are-most-settlements-for-truck-accidents\"><\/span>How Much Money Are Most Settlements for Truck Accidents?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most truck accident settlements are higher on average compared to car accidents, but every single accident and settlement is unique. <strong>In a successful claim, you could recover damages you sustained, such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Medical bills<\/li>\n<li>Future medical care<\/li>\n<li>Property damage<\/li>\n<li>Pain and suffering<\/li>\n<li>Mental trauma<\/li>\n<li>Lost income<\/li>\n<li>Reduced earning capacity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Generally, the more seriously you are injured, the more significant your settlement will need to be to recover these losses. An attorney can also help maximize your claim.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-i-need-to-hire-a-truck-accident-lawyer-in-louisiana\"><\/span>Do I Need to Hire a Truck Accident Lawyer in Louisiana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While you aren&#8217;t required to hire a truck accident lawyer in Louisiana, it is incredibly beneficial to do so. Truck accident cases are much more complicated than other motor vehicle accidents, and an attorney knows important information like federal trucking regulations, how to negotiate with commercial insurers, and other crucial elements of a case. You are more likely to have a successful case with an attorney, may recover more damages, and can reduce your stress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"contact-murphy-law-firm-in-metairie-to-discuss-truck-accident-case\"><\/span>Contact Murphy Law Firm in Metairie To Discuss Truck Accident Case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When negligent trucking companies put profit over the safety of others, they should be held liable. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.murphylawfirm.com\/contact\/\">Contact Murphy Law Firm<\/a> and learn how we can help.
