Causes of Truck Accidents

If you have been injured in a truck accident, you should know that truck accident cases are different from and far more complicated than car accident cases. At the Bohrer Law Firm, LLC, we understand that your primary concern is securing compensation for your injuries, lost wages and other losses. However, there are often multiple possible sources of compensation in a truck accident case, since one or more parties may be responsible.

Causes of truck accidents include:

• Truck driver fatigue
• Negligence by the employer in hiring or training the driver
• Negligence by a party who loaded the truck/Oversized loads
• Error in the manufacture of the truck
• Improper/inadequate truck maintenance

The Bohrer Law Firm, LLC, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has more than 25 years of experience investigating the causes of truck accidents, negotiating payments, and handling lawsuits on behalf of people just like you.

Truck Accidents are Complex

The trucking industry is governed by a complex set of rules and regulations. Failure to abide by these rules and regulations strengthens your case, demonstrating negligence on the part of the trucking company and a duty to compensate you.

Although trucks are a necessary part of delivering goods, they can cause horrific damage in an accident. Multiple cars and other property may be damaged. If a loved one was killed, your losses may be compensated in a wrongful death action. An experienced attorney familiar with the causes, complications and possibilities of truck accidents is highly recommended.

Our clients are everyday people: consumers, workers, victims of nursing home abuse, and others who have been injured by the negligence or recklessness of another. Most of our new clients come to us through referrals from satisfied past clients.
