Baton Rouge and Lafayette Wrongful Death Truck Crash Attorneys
Truck drivers and trucking companies can be so focused on "time is money" that they forget the dangers an 18-wheeler represents to other motorists. When they mindlessly or purposely violate safety regulations, sometimes people die.
While you are grieving a family member's death from a truck wreck, the trucking firm and its insurance carrier may be scrambling to cover up the negligence and essentially blame your loved one. In a truck accident, it is critical that you hire legal counsel quickly to conduct a counter-investigation and preserve evidence that the trucking company is eager to destroy.
Get Gordon. Get a Lawyer Who Knows Truck Accidents.
Because of the potential for large monetary damages, truck accident fatality cases are more likely to go to trial. In 20-plus years of wrongful death litigation, trial lawyer Gordon McKernan and McKernan Law Firm have recovered substantial verdicts and settlements on behalf of survivors for the devastation. Serving Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles and all of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, we have handled every type of case from tractor trailers and construction vehicles to delivery trucks and garbage trucks.
Our team has the experience to handle the complex legal issues and the financial resources to bring in truck crash reconstruction specialists and other experts who can identify what happened and why the truck driver and/or trucking company are responsible. We know the specific clues to look for in a deadly truck accident, including driver fatigue, violations of federal regulations, neglected maintenance or something as insane as piloting a 40-ton tractor trailer while texting on a cell phone.
We know that truck-related deaths can be very gruesome. The victims are often trapped in the wreckage and die because rescue is delayed. If your loved one was not killed instantly, there can be additional damages for his or her conscious pain and suffering. We work to maximize all wrongful death damages: future earnings, medical and funeral expenses, the loss of that person's love and companionship, and the emotional trauma and suffering of survivors.
