Covington Trucking Injury Attorney
If you have been injured in a trucking accident, it's important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. The insurance adjuster and the defense counsel of the trucking company will go to work immediately, looking for ways to minimize the value of your claim. To protect your interests, you will need someone investigating the accident from your point of view.
At The Law Offices of David Adrian Oriol, LLC in Madisonville, Louisiana, we represent people in St. Tammany Parish and surrounding areas on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain who have been injured in big-rig accidents. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Preserving Evidence of Liability
Whenever a large commercial vehicle is involved in an accident, it's important to hire an attorney who knows what evidence needs to be collected and preserved. That evidence includes the driver logbook, GPS records if the truck is so equipped, the background of the driver, and the truck's service records. These records may be important in proving truck driver and trucking company responsibility.
Heavy trucks are subject to special Department of Transportation regulations that are designed to protect other drivers. For example, truck drivers who carry commercial goods may drive a maximum of 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty. If the truck driver violated the hours-of-service requirement, your case just became a lot stronger.
Our law firm has the resources to hire appropriate accident reconstructionists and experts to determine how the accident happened and who was at fault.
No fees unless we win your case. We represent truck accident victims on a contingency fee basis. You will not owe us any attorney fees or expenses unless we are able to recover compensation for you.
