Seeking Compensation After a Truck Accident in New Orleans, LA: How Brasher Law Firm PLLC Can Help
Truck accidents can cause catastrophic injuries and severe property damage. An 18-wheeler, when loaded to capacity according to federal trucking regulations, can weigh as much as 40 tons. Due to the sheer size and weight of such a vehicle, combined with highway speeds, truck accidents can result in fatalities. At Brasher Law Firm PLLC, we believe that you deserve to be compensated for any injuries sustained in an accident for which a truck driver or their company is found liable.
Determining Liability After a Truck Accident
Commercial truck accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including driver negligence, fatigue, or intoxication, or poor truck maintenance such as brake failure or lack of rear guards. In building an aggressive personal injury lawsuit for an accident with an 18-wheeler, it is crucial to conduct necessary investigations to compile evidence that can supplement your case.
Our personal injury attorneys know the right questions to ask:
What is recorded in the driver’s log?
What is the owner/operator’s background?
Is there evidence that the driver violated federal regulations?
What might blood work and toxicology tests reveal regarding the driver?
Is there evidence available from the driver’s communication devices?
What hours were logged by the driver? Was the driver fatigued due to excessive driving hours?
Did the driver use narcotics or other drugs to stay awake?
Furthermore, we will work with accident reconstructionists to determine why the accident really occurred. We also analyze police records to seek further evidence and determine whether or not the records are correct. Additionally, we will speak with other witnesses to gather testimony to support a personal injury lawsuit.
How Black Box Evidence Can Help Your Case
Due to federal interstate transportation law, most large commercial trucks now have black boxes which are highly similar to the boxes found on airplanes. This is good news for victims of truck crashes, as it can help uncover information that can reveal the true cause of the accident that resulted in your injury. Truck black boxes can provide crucial evidence regarding a driver’s speed at impact, how long it took a truck to stop after impact and other important details that can help you win your case.
Federal Regulations for Truck Safety
In order to encourage and enforce public safety on highways, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) has defined regulations and policies for truck drivers and companies to follow. When an accident results from failure to adhere to these regulations and results in your injury or loss of a loved one, you should not be responsible for any financial damages; let our injury attorneys assist you.
Louisiana State has rules regarding the following aspects of truck driving:
Adequate training of drivers
Use of alcohol and other substances
Regulated substance testing
Qualifications and backgrounds of drivers
Driver illness
Driver fatigue
Use of emergency signals, radars
Safe driving practices
Driver hours
Proper maintenance and repair of trucks
Regulation of hazardous materials
At Brasher Law Firm PLLC, we will examine all information and evidence surrounding your accident with an 18-wheeler to determine whether the driver and company complied with the aforementioned policies.
