Baton Rouge Truck Accident Lawyer
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a population of about 227,818, is properly described as a metropolitan area, one with significant traffic, and numerous truck routes such as US 10, US 110, LA 61 and LA 190, where accidents are waiting to happen. Trucks are large, heavy, fast moving vehicles that can cause incredible amounts of damage or even death if out of control. Truck drivers have long hours and deliveries that are far away. Exhaustion is inevitable and rest logs for drivers are to help keep the driver as well as any other vehicle on the road safe. Unfortunately due to pressures to make deliveries in unreasonable amounts of time, these logs are often falsified. Although drivers are required to adhere to federal regulations involving time on the road, taking breaks and their loads, shortcuts in driver safety can result in negligence behind the wheel. Under federal and state laws, a trucking company may be held liable for driver negligence occurring in Louisiana. A Gordon & Elias truck accident lawyer will vigorously defend an injured client’s rights by holding trucking companies and their drivers accountable for their trucking accidents.Local Information For Baton Rouge, Louisiana
