Trucking Accidents

Lafayette Trucking Accident Attorney - Louisiana Big Rig Lawyer Gregory Tonore

Some of the worst road accidents involve large vehicles such as an 18 wheeler truck.  One well-known reason is that 18 wheeler truck drivers cannot see in certain blind spots around their large vehicle. Other causes can include vehicular failure. But often the cause of such accidents is driver failure.

Pressed by deadlines and long hauls, truck drivers often drive while fatigued. Such drivers can fall asleep at the wheel or may lack sufficient attention and readiness to avoid accidents, when a split second may mean the difference between life and death.  Others may tend to tailgate or otherwise drive recklessly. And still other truck drivers may not be properly trained or licensed to handle such vehicles.

An 18 wheeler accident lawyer is a personal injury lawyer that can handle claims arising from the negligence of a truck driver or a trucking company.  I can fight for your rights and pursue your case to ensure that you receive full and fair compensation for your injuries.
