We Know How to Win These Cases
Truck accident cases are often won or lost on the federal regulations governing motor carriers. Newman, Hoffoss & Devall practices only in personal injury and wrongful death, and our lawyers are members of the American Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America.
We work to uncover evidence of driver fatigue, falsified logbooks, poor maintenance or freight loading that contributing to tractor trailer accidents. We also hold employers accountable for negligent hiring, training and supervision of drivers.
A Representative Case
In Beauregard Parish, the driver of a cargo truck crossed the center line and struck three cars going the other way. We represented a 20-year-old man in the second car, who suffered multiple fractures to his leg and hip, and a permanent disability after multiple reconstructive surgeries. When the trucking company fought liability, we brought in an accident reconstructionist to prove the trucker was at fault. Taking the lead in litigation involving six victims, we reached a settlement in excess of $2,000,000.00 for our client.
We work closely with clients, their family members and doctors to determine the future care needs and lost income, to demand full damages for the economic impact and the pain and suffering in the aftermath of a truck accident.
