Your Trusted New Orleans Personal Injury & Commercial Accident Lawyer

There is a deep injustice in American healthcare, with accident victims left to fend for themselves against large insurance companies, often during some of the most difficult times of their lives. We step in to try and remedy such injustices and guide you through the recovery process, both medical and financial.

We work with the victims of accidents, on the road or in the workplace, particularly those who have been struck by commercial vehicle drivers whose parent companies have access to the most ruthless and cutthroat insurance companies. With our help, you will be able to afford the care you need, get compensation from those responsible for your injury, and stand up to insurance company misbehavior.

Steps To Take After An Accident In New Orleans

If you, or a loved one, have just been in a car or commercial vehicle accident, it is important you stay as calm as possible and do the following:

  1. See to your immediate safety and that of any passengers.
  2. Call the police and paramedics, especially if there is any pain or signs of injury.
  3. Gather evidence from the scene, such as pictures of the accident and environment.
  4. Exchange insurance and contact information but nothing more with the other driver.
  5. Obtain the names and contact information of any witnesses, if possible.
  6. Get medical attention. Even if you do not feel any pain, a checkup is vital.
  7. Call a personal injury attorney if you or a loved one have been injured and follow our instructions to ensure you get the compensation you will need.

What Makes Commercial Vehicle Accident Claims Different?

One area we focus on in particular is commercial vehicle accidents in New Orleans and Louisiana. Commercial vehicles, especially large trucks, can cause massive amounts of damage when drivers or companies make mistakes and cut corners. Holding them accountable for the harm done not only ensures injury victims like you receive the care and compensation you need, but it also forces these large companies to follow laws, maintain safer practices, and push for safer roads for all.

It’s important to note that these commercial vehicle businesses often have the largest insurance companies at their back, too. Just as the larger trucks can do more damage; the bigger the insurance company, the more resources they have to bring to bear against victims. We do not want anyone in Louisiana to have to go up against them alone.

For us, representing commercial vehicle accident victims is about justice as well as financial compensation, a fight that aligns perfectly with our values and experience.

How Do Most New Orleans Commercial Accidents Happen?

We've seen far too many accidents with commercial vehicles. While we hope for a day without such tragedies, we know they'll continue until companies are held accountable for their mistakes and negligence. It's crucial that these companies are held to high safety standards to prevent future accidents and keep everyone safe.

All too often, these crashes with trucks, semis, 18-wheelers, busses, and even delivery trucks are caused by:

  • Overworked and tired drivers who are pushed to the brink of exhaustion to save the company a few dimes.
  • Driver error, distraction, and even inebriation are just as frequently a cause, and companies turn a blind eye to warning signs or fail to provide the training and oversight required to avoid tragedy.
  • Vehicles that are on the road nearly non-stop, with extensive strain, do not get the maintenance they need, resulting in mechanical failures that cost lives.

While often at least partially responsible, drivers are sometimes even victims themselves; it is the companies behind them whose behavior often needs to change. We need to hold these commercial vehicle companies accountable if we want to see Louisiana roadways free of daily commercial crashes.
