Our lawyers represent people with accident claims against negligent truck drivers, owners or independent contractors on either side of the Louisiana-Texas border. We investigate and present damages claims in such situations as:
- Accidents involving local or long-haul semi tractor-trailer combinations
- Construction vehicle accidents
- Delivery van crashes
- Maintenance truck accidents
- Collisions with tanker trucks, chemical trucks or hazardous materials haulers
A truck accident lawsuit can be much more extensive than a car accident claim. The injuries are likely to be serious or fatal, and the liability coverage available to meet your damages demand could be in the millions.
While that means you may stand a good chance of collecting the compensation you'll need to cover your losses and a long recovery, it also means the defense will have plenty of motivation to fight your claim — in a serious car accident, the other driver's insurer will often be quick to settle a permanent injury case for the policy limits of $50,000 or $75,000. But a commercial liability insurer on the hook for millions will need to see detailed proof of every part of your claim.
Because of this, truck accident litigation often depends on the investigation and testimony of expert witnesses. The Hanchey Law Firm works with highly qualified professionals ranging, including accident reconstructionists, industry safety experts, economists, vocational counselors, and future medical consultants. These are some of ways we ensure that we have strong evidence to support every detail of your case.
