Who Can Be Held Liable After a Slidell, Louisiana Truck Accident?
Although the driver is often liable in an accident with a commercial truck, other parties can be held liable, as well.
These other parties can include:
- The driver: for reasons that include:
- Driver fatigue
- Driving under the influence
- Distracted driving
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Failure to yield or improper lane change
- The trucking company: If a trucking company engaged in dangerous practices that ultimately led to the accident, that company might be held liable for the injuries you sustained.
- Cargo companies: Another common cause of trucking accidents is overloaded or improperly loaded cargo, which means the cargo company could be found liable if this was the cause of the accident.
- Truck and truck part manufacturers: If a commercial truck contains defective parts or is poorly designed and these issues lead to an accident, the manufacturer can also be held liable.

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.
