If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, you need to hire a tractor-trailer accident lawyer with significant experience handling these types of claims.

The lawyers at Vamvoras Antoon Attorneys at Law provide crash victims in Louisiana with compassionate service and skilled representation.

We urge you to call 337-433-1624 or contact us online for a consultation and have us stand up for your rights and obtain an outcome that meets your needs. In addition, if you have been offered a settlement that is not adequate, we can step in and continue the negotiations or file a personal injury lawsuit.

Types and Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents

Accidents involving tractor-trailer trucks and passenger vehicles can occur for a variety of reasons. Because of the size of commercial trucks, the possibility of serious injury or death to drivers and passengers in automobiles is extremely high.

The most common causes of truck accidents are:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving 
  • Driver fatigue
  • Poor road conditions
  • Mechanical failure
  • Tire blowouts
