Baton Rouge and Lafayette Trucking Crash Lawyers
Was the Truck That Caused Your Accident in Roadworthy Condition?
Common sense and federal regulations dictate that an 18-wheeler or other large truck be regularly inspected and maintained to certain standards. But truck maintenance is expensive and takes trucks off the road. Corporate greed sometimes trumps public safety.
Gordon McKernan and McKernan Law Firm know that the thousands of tractor-trailers and commercial vehicles on our highways and byways are not always roadworthy. We know this from 20 years of holding trucking companies accountable for serious crashes resulting in fatality and disability. We have the experience and resources to prove poor maintenance or mechanical defects in lawsuits for damages.
If your loved one was injured or killed in a Louisiana trucking crash, contact us online or call 877-247-3310 for a free consultation. We take cases in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, New Orleans and throughout Louisiana, as well as Mississippi and Texas.
Shoddy Truck Maintenance Is an Accident Waiting to Happen
We work with top accident reconstructionists and experts in truck maintenance and repair to demonstrate that the trucking company was negligent in the upkeep of the tractor or trailer:
- Bald tires and worn axles
- Worn brakes
- Missing mud flaps
- Broken headlights, taillights or trailer lights
- Cracked mirror or windshield
- Ripped tarps and broken tie-downs
- Broken door latches
- Eroded reflective tape
Any of these maintenance issues can lead to a crash when the truck drops freight or shredded tire treads or loose parts in the roadway, when the trucker needs to stop or swerve, when the driver can't see his surroundings, or when other motorists can't see the truck at night.
