18-Wheeler Wrecks in Louisiana

Sadly, collisions involving passenger cars and 18-wheelers often turn deadly. In Louisiana, around a hundred people are killed every year after being involved in a crash with a semi-driver. 2,300 people are injured annually in these accidents. 

When someone is killed in a crash with a commercial truck, their surviving family often has to take on the resulting damages. This can be difficult if the victim was the provider for the family, putting loved ones in a financial bind. In some cases, the family of a deceased victim can call a trained Louisiana wrongful death attorney in order to regain lost compensation.
