Crashes that involve two or more automobiles are very distinct from crashes that involve both automobiles and trucks. Collisions that involve 18-wheelers and other commercial vehicles can often prove fatal for people who are in the smaller vehicle. When they don’t lead to fatalities, they often cause serious injuries.

Truck accidents result in more damage and injury. Trucks are significantly bigger and heavier than other vehicles on the road. In fact, a large truck with cargo can legally weigh 80,000 pounds. When 80,000 pounds crashes into your vehicle at any speed, the damage can be significant, and the injuries could be permanent.

Because truck accidents are more serious and more complex than most traffic accidents, it is all the more important that you speak with an experienced, knowledgeable Louisiana truck accident attorney after your crash. At Big River Trial Attorneys, we are extremely familiar with these accidents and can help you secure the justice and compensation that you and your family deserve.

Big River Trial Attorneys can help with a variety of other family law areas.
