You Want an Attorney Who Understands the Law

When choosing an attorney to represent you after you have been injured in a truck accident, of course it is necessary to choose someone who understands personal injury law. You also want someone who understands trucking laws, because many of these accidents are the result of these laws being broken by negligent truckers.

Louisiana State Trucking Laws and Federal Trucking Laws

Truck drivers and trucking companies must follow federal laws, as well as the laws that pertain to the state they are in. In Louisiana, trucking laws apply to the size and weight of semi-trucks, among other things. Federal trucking laws are much more comprehensive, addressing everything from the number of hours a truck driver can be on the road to the maintenance schedules trucking companies must maintain.

Through our investigation, we will discover what laws, state or federal, were violated, and how those violations led to the 18-wheeler accident. We will get the evidence we need to build a strong case designed to hold the negligent party accountable for the damage done.
