Experienced Attorneys for Override Truck Accidents in New Orleans

An override accident occurs when a large truck, such as an 18-wheeler, crashes into a smaller vehicle and rides over its roof. These accidents are particularly devastating due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks. Injuries sustained in these crashes often include traumatic brain injuries, fractures, internal organ damage, and even death.

The Voorhies Law Firm, a team of experienced New Orleans truck accident attorneys, understands the complexities of override accident cases. We specialize in holding negligent parties accountable and will diligently pursue the compensation you need to rebuild your life after such a catastrophic event.

Understanding the Causes of Override Accidents in New Orleans

Override accidents are caused by various factors, many of which stem from negligence or unsafe driving conditions. Given the catastrophic potential of these crashes, identifying the cause is critical for building a strong legal case.

Common causes of override accidents include:

  • Tire blowouts: Sudden tire failure can cause drivers to lose control of the truck, leading to severe accidents.
  • Reckless driving: Aggressive or careless driving by truck operators significantly increases the risk of collisions.
  • Driver fatigue: Extended hours behind the wheel can result in impaired judgment and slower reaction times.
  • Speeding: Operating at excessive speeds reduces the ability to stop in time and escalates crash severity.
  • Poor weather conditions: Adverse weather, such as rain, fog, or ice, diminishes visibility and road traction, contributing to accidents.

 

No matter the cause, you need an experienced attorney who can investigate the circumstances of your accident and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

What Damages Can Be Recovered in Override Accident Cases?

One of the most pressing questions after an override accident is what damages can be recovered. Victims often face not only physical injuries but also emotional and financial challenges. Our firm is committed to helping you recover compensation for every aspect of your loss.

Recoverable damages in these cases include:

  • Medical costs: Immediate and future medical care, rehabilitation, and equipment.
  • Lost wages: Compensation for income lost during recovery, as well as reduced earning capacity.
  • Pain and suffering: Emotional distress and loss of quality of life.
  • Property damage: Vehicle repair or replacement costs.
  • Punitive damages: In cases of extreme negligence or misconduct.

 

Our attorneys will thoroughly evaluate your case to ensure all damages, both current and future, are accounted for in your claim.

Why Do You Need a Lawyer After an Override Accident?

After an override accident, hiring a lawyer is critical to protecting your rights and ensuring a fair settlement. The trucking company and its insurers often work aggressively to minimize their liability. Without legal representation, victims may not receive the full compensation they deserve.

Our attorneys have the skills, resources, and experience necessary to:

  • Investigate the cause of the accident thoroughly.
  • Identify all liable parties, including drivers, trucking companies, and manufacturers.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies to secure the maximum settlement.

 

Having a knowledgeable legal advocate on your side is key to achieving a successful outcome in these complex cases.
