Attorneys at Broussard & David have represented many victims of trucking accidents over the last 25 years. Many truck, tractor trailer and 18-wheeler drivers are still compelled to put their own financial interests before safety. Truck drivers delivering goods and cargo across the country almost always have tight deadlines to meet, and not meeting those deadlines can cost them money. This means truck drivers are often in a hurry to meet those deadlines, and as such are more likely in moments of stress and pressure to practice driving and loading habits and shortcuts that can lead to disastrous consequences, particularly in large trucks moving at highway speeds. Their compensation is tied directly to the number of miles driven so they are continuously motivated to rush to the destination.

Lawsuits based on accidents and collisions involving trucks/tractor-trailers involve complicated state and federal laws, rules and regulations. Death and severe injury caused by truck driver negligence continues to plague our roadways. Based on our experience in representing plaintiffs in truck accident cases, we know that actions may be brought against many different parties (including the truck driver, truck owner, truck and tractor manufacturers, company hiring the truck/driver, truck/trailer/company insurance company(s), among others). We have the experience, knowledge and investigative know-how to obtain justice for victims of a trucking accident and help victims collect the maximum amount allowed under the law.
