Experienced Lawyers for Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Personal Injury Attorneys in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles, Louisiana
How is my driving? This message is plastered across the bumper of countless commercial vehicles across the country. The reason for this message is simple: Commercial drivers are known for driving fast and sometimes recklessly. They may be distracted while driving between deliveries or may be fatigued from driving too many hours. Whatever the reason, careless driving is never acceptable because it can cause serious accidents that result in devastating injuries or even fatalities.

Commercial Vehicles and Your Safety
Drivers of commercial vehicles are those drivers who are working for a company at the time of the accident (these drivers are in the course and scope of their employment)Often these drivers are operating their vehicle under time demands and struggling to meet deadlines. But these circumstances should not put innocent drivers at risk. We will fight for your rights if you have been injured by any type of commercial vehicle:
- Passenger cars
- 18 wheeler
- Construction vehicles
- Pizza delivery cars
- Delivery van
- Any other commercial vehicles
Don't Sign Anything
If an accident involved a commercial vehicle, such as a delivery van or an 18 wheeler truck, you can count on insurance adjusters and investigators representing the company to arrive at the accident scene right away. It is their job to limit liability and the potential amount they will have to pay for the accident. They often attempt to do this by demonstrating that the driver of the commercial vehicle was not at fault for the accident or was not acting within the scope of their employment.
Gordon McKernan and our team of lawyers, investigators and experts at the McKernan Law Firm know how to prepare strong cases designed to conclusively establish liability and refute these arguments by the other side.
Course and Scope of Employment
Our vehicle accident attorneys understand what is necessary to establish a driver as being in the "course and scope" of employment at the time of the accident. In such a case, not only is the driver's liability insurance available, but potentially the large insurance policy of the company is also available to ensure full compensation. As experienced personal injury lawyers, we know how important compensation is when you are suffering from serious injuries and coping with the financial challenges of those injuries.
Our in-depth knowledge of car accident and truck accident injury laws allows us to seek maximum settlements to compensate for the hardships and losses our clients are facing.
