Shreveport Truck Accident Lawyers
Often suffering from catastrophic injuries, truck accident victims need the help of experienced truck accident attorneys. Truck accident lawsuits are far more complex than most accidents involving only passenger vehicles, and you will be pitted against the trucking company, their insurance company, and their dedicated team of lawyers.

Investigating Truck Accidents
Proper truck accident investigation is essential to your case, and it requires in-depth knowledge of the laws and regulations which apply to the trucking industry, as well as an understanding of the many reasons why truck accidents occur.
A large portion of the evidence, in a truck accident, is buried deep in the paperwork that truck drivers, trucking companies, weigh stations, and others are required by law to maintain. Extensive records must be kept, but only for a short amount of time, so your truck accident claims lawyers need to get started as soon as possible, before crucial evidence is destroyed.
