Who is At-Fault in a Truck Accident?

Available 24/7/365

Fault in a truck accident in Louisiana depends on the specific facts of the crash. A truck driver may be responsible if they were speeding, distracted, fatigued, impaired, violated traffic laws, or failed to operate the vehicle safely. The trucking company, maintenance providers, or parts manufacturers may also share responsibility if poor training, improper maintenance, defective equipment, or other negligence contributed to the accident. Louisiana follows a comparative fault system, meaning multiple parties may share responsibility for a crash. An investigation into the accident, evidence from the scene, driver records, and trucking company practices can help determine who is liable for the injuries and damages caused.
