Truck Accidents

Home / Practice Areas/ Personal Injury Law/ Truck Accidents

Being involved in any kind of accident can cause serious injury, however, the risk of severe injury when a truck is involved is far greater. Seeing 18-wheeler trucks on our roads is an everyday sight, yet most of us never consider the possibility we may be involved in an accident with one. Unfortunately, like every other motor vehicle on the road trucks are involved in accidents on a regular basis.

Victims of accidents involving trucks often suffer very serious injuries because the sheer weight difference between a car and truck is so significant. Truck accidents can be caused by a number of issues including:

  • - Distracted driving
  • - Failure to obey traffic signals
  • - Drowsy or drunk driving
  • - Improperly maintained equipment

As a victim of a truck accident, you have the right to receive compensation for the damages to your vehicle as well as for medical care for your injuries and loss of wages. However, unless you have an attorney on your side fighting to get you the compensation you deserve you may find an insurance company will take advantage of your situation and encourage you to settle quickly.

If you have been injured in a truck accident, or someone you love has been injured contact the Law Office of Nicholas J. Muscarello at (985) 345-1010 for a consultation regarding what options are available to you. Keep in mind the statutes of limitations in Louisiana may prevent you from filing a claim and less it is done in a timely manner.

I finally found a Lawyers Office that cares! Both Nicky and Tiffany were very professional and explained everything to me as the case went on. Tiffany "held my hand" the entire process and put my mind at ease even when I was in doubt. I did not feel like I was just a number at Nicky Muscarello office. Each time I called, my call was answered or retuned the same day or the next. There's been several times I called and Nicky picked up and answered my questions himself. As long as I live in Hammond or have any legal issues inside the state of Louisiana, Nicholas Muscarello will be the first Lawyer I call to handle my issue because I know he will take good care of me. If I could give 100 stars, I would!!!! I loved working with Tiffany....she is AMAZING at what she do!!! I love this office!

Hands down the best lawyer I could have went to. Had a wreck that the other was at fault and the auto insurance company was making me pay myself. Called Mr Nicholas and he had their insurance pay my bills and some. Couldn’t have went to a better lawyer.
