What City Did the Truck Accident Occur?

Louisiana Truck & Bus Accident Statistics

The NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis reported in Louisiana, since 2017 there were 1,052 Total Vehicles Involving in Fatal Crashes, and 101 of those were in large trucks involved. This seems to indicate that safety regulations & traffic laws in Louisiana either aren’t as effective as we’d hope, or that truck drivers, their employers (carriers), or other drivers are practicing unsafe behaviors. New technology in trucking safety will help mitigate damages, prevent injuries or collisions altogether, but for the victims and their families the problem seems to be escalating.

Generally, the statute of limitations for truck accident lawsuits in Louisiana says is that any lawsuit for injury or property damage must be filed within one year — that includes any claim for injury or vehicle damage by a driver, passenger, pedestrian, motorcyclist, or bicyclist after a traffic accident. Louisiana’s one-year statute of limitations “clock” starts running on the date of the crash – this is inclusive of most personal injury claims (Source: Nolo). A statute of limitation is a reasonable length of time that a plaintiff has to bring an action against a defendant. This varies based on state, and the type of incident: civil or criminal.
