Being involved in a truck accident is a very serious matter. Commercial trucks are extremely large vehicles and can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded. When they crash into a small vehicle, they cause immense damage and some of the most serious injuries. Due to this, truck drivers and trucking companies have a responsibility to make sure that trucks are safe to drive, and that they are operated with caution. Unfortunately, this does not always happen.

If you or someone you love has been hurt in a truck accident, it is critical that you speak to our Monroe truck accident lawyer. We can determine who is liable for your crash and help you obtain the full and fair settlement that is justly yours.

Reporting a Truck Accident in Louisiana

One of the first things you should do after a truck accident is report it to law enforcement. State law requires you to report any crash resulting in injury, death, or property damage valued at $500 or more. There is little chance that a truck accident will not cause injury, death, or extensive property damage. Depending on the nature of your injuries, you may be transported to the hospital right away and therefore, you may not be able to report the crash at the scene. Still, you must make sure you report the accident within the days and weeks following the crash.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Monroe

There are many factors that contribute to truck accidents in Monroe. The negligence of truck drivers is one of the most common. Truck drivers may fail to brake in time, speed, make sharp turns, or drive recklessly. Any of these mistakes can cause a trucker to lose control of the vehicle and cause a crash.

Sometimes, truck drivers do not act negligently, but the demanding nature of their job can make it difficult for them to safely operate their vehicle. Truck drivers are on the road for long periods of time and so, they often struggle with driver fatigue. To prevent fatigued driving accidents, there are federal laws in place outlining how long a truck driver can stay on the road. Some truck drivers willingly violate these laws while in other instances, the trucking company they work for encourages them to stay on the road and meet tight deadlines.

It is not always truck drivers or trucking companies that are at fault for a crash. Commercial trucks are made up of many different parts. All of these parts must work together to ensure that the truck is safe. When a truck, or any part of it, is defective and contributes to an accident, the manufacturer can be held liable.
