HUGE SETTLEMENTS FOR BIG RIG CRASHES...E GETS YOU YOUR MONEY!
The number of 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, big rigs, semi trucks and other large commercial trucks traveling on Louisiana interstates is increasing every year. Because trucking companies are motivated by profit, safety on the roads often takes a back seat– leading to tragic results. Because of its massive size, whenever an 18-wheeler is involved in a road accident, you can’t call it a simple “fender bender.” The average 18-wheeler can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, whereas passenger cars rarely weigh over 5,000 pounds. When a car comes up against a truck in an accident, the car is often totaled and the occupants are severely injured, if not killed. If you or a loved one has suffered due to a trucking accident in Baton Rouge or elsewhere in Louisiana, we know this is likely one of the toughest times of your life. E wants to help ease your burden and get you and your family the compensation you are owed.
Large trucks or commercial trucks can be extremely deadly when involved in a motor vehicle accident. About 500,000 accidents involving 18-wheeler trucks occur annually in the United States. 31 percent of all big truck accidents happened on freeways and interstates. 5,000 fatalities on our nation’s roadways involved a large truck, with 31 percent of these accidents happening on freeways and interstates. Of the fatalities, 72 percent (3,450) were occupants of the passenger vehicle, not the truck. In Louisiana, a staggering 101 people died in large truck accidents during 2017.
While there are plenty of rules and regulations in effect for 18-wheeler and commercial truck drivers to make the roads safe for us all, it doesn’t necessarily mean that those rules are always observed. A large portion of trucking accidents are caused by negligence. While there are typically a number of factors involved in causing or contributing to a truck or 18-wheeler crash, some of the most common include:
