Serious Help After A Serious Truck Crash
Collisions with big rigs, tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, and other commercial trucks can change your life in a moment. When these crashes happen on I-12, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, or roads around Mandeville, the damage is often far more serious than in a typical car accident.

How We Build Strong Truck Cases
Steps To Take After A Truck Crash
After a truck crash, the days that follow can feel overwhelming. Taking the right steps early can help protect your health, preserve important evidence, and avoid problems with the insurance process.
- Call 911 and get medical help right away
- Follow the advice of first responders and get checked by a doctor as soon as possible
- Give law enforcement clear, factual information without guessing or admitting fault
- Get the truck driver’s name and contact information
- Write down the trucking company name shown on the truck or trailer
- Collect license plate numbers and witness contact information if you can
- Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, skid marks, and visible injuries
- Notify your own insurance company about the crash
- Avoid giving detailed or recorded statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with an attorney
- Contact a commercial truck accident lawyer as early as possible to protect your rights and understand your next steps
We offer a free, confidential consultation to review what happened, answer your questions, and explain how Louisiana truck accident claims usually work. When you contact us, we take time to listen and give clear guidance about the next steps.
Liability, Injuries & Compensation
Under Louisiana law, more than one person or company may be responsible for a truck crash. Depending on the facts, liability may involve the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo loader, or vehicle owner. Our attorneys investigate the crash to identify every liable party and pursue claims against the correct insurance coverage.
Truck crashes often cause severe injuries, including brain injuries, spinal injuries, fractures, and internal damage. When evaluating compensation, we consider medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Because every case is different, the value of a claim depends on the evidence, the extent of the injuries, and how the crash has affected your life.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I call a lawyer after a truck crash?
You can contact us as soon as you have received initial medical care. Early guidance helps protect important evidence and reduces the risk of saying something to an insurer that harms your claim. We can explain your options in a free consultation, and you decide how to proceed.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We handle truck crash cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you do not pay upfront fees, and our payment is a percentage of any recovery we obtain for you. If there is no recovery, you typically do not owe an attorney's fee for our work.
What will your attorneys do in a truck accident case?
Our attorneys review what happened, gather available records, and evaluate who may be responsible. We handle communications with insurers, help you understand your medical and financial losses, and prepare your case for negotiation or trial. We also use our mock courtroom and trial preparation tools when a case is headed to court.
Do I really need a local truck accident lawyer?
Working with a firm that has an office in Mandeville offers several advantages. We know Louisiana law and have experience in St. Tammany Parish and nearby courts, and it is easier for you to meet with us in person. That local connection can make the process more comfortable and efficient.
What if the trucking company says the crash was my fault?
It is common for trucking and insurance companies to argue that someone else is to blame. We look at the evidence independently, including reports and available records, and give you our assessment. Because we represent injured people and not insurers, our focus is on protecting your rights.
