Southwest Louisiana 18-Wheeler Crash Attorneys
Semi wreck cases are often won or lost on the federal regulations governing motor carriers. Newman, Hoffoss & Devall, LLP, lawyers are members of the American Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America. We understand trucking regulations. We work to uncover evidence of driver fatigue, falsified logbooks, poor maintenance or freight loading that contributed 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.
If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a truck wreck, we will work closely with you, your family members and doctors to determine 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.
