Why Harahan Truck Accidents Are Different
Because commercial trucks are bigger and more dangerous than other cars, the results of an accident are often much worse.
However, even though the damages that you have suffered may be greater, trucking accident cases can sometimes be even more difficult to win than regular accidents due to the complicated legality of liability. Plus, the trucking company will probably hire high-priced defense lawyers to be on their side.
If you hire Kiefer & Kiefer, we will use every resource at our disposal to make sure that you win the compensation you deserve.

2019: 18-WHEELER ACCIDENT CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES WITH A SHOULDER SURGERY, KNEE SURGERY, AND CERVICAL AND LUMBAR DISC HERNIATIONS
Our client was rear-ended by an 18-wheeler on the Interstate in New Orleans, which caused her serious injuries. She underwent a shoulder and knee surgery and was recommended to undergo a total knee replacement. She also sustained lumbar and cervical disc herniations and was recommended to undergo a cervical fusion surgery. The company challenged that her injuries were the result of the accident at mediation, causing our client to reject their offer and leave mediation, but they ultimately paid $1.3 million in advance of trial.
