Navigating a legal action after a commercial vehicle crash

In Louisiana, commercial vehicles play a vital role in society. Whether it is a semi-truck delivering a shipment, a garbage truck serving a community, a dump truck servicing a construction site, a bus transporting passengers or a taxi taking an individual to their final destination, companies, communities, industries, families and individuals rely on commercial vehicles to complete certain tasks. However, the drivers of commercial vehicles are hired by a company, which could result in numerous liable parties in the event of a commercial vehicle crash.

Operating a motor vehicle, whether it is a large truck or a taxicab, comes with much responsibility. Every motorist is required to follow the rules of the road. This duty can rise to a higher standard when a driver is operating a large vehicle, is carrying passengers or is transporting hazardous material.
