Often, employers of negligent 18-wheeler truck drivers are unwilling to accept liability for their drivers’ errors. When this is the case, litigation may become necessary in order to obtain adequate compensation for the injured party. Likewise, it may also be necessary to bring a lawsuit against not only the trucking company but also the other parties who may have been involved in preparing, inspecting, and/or loading the 18-wheeler.
Typically, commercial truck accidents involve multiple parties and insurance agencies, which can lead to complex litigation. Also, because many truck drivers do not live in Louisiana, it is becoming increasingly common for these cases to be settled in federal courts.
In addition, DOTD regulations can often come into play when handling litigation stemming from the alleged negligence of commercial truck drivers, thus requiring a specialized understanding of the regulations involved.
