New Orleans Attorney Representing Car and Truck Accident Victims
Even though car and truck accidents happen in a split second, they have the power to change lives forever. Every year in Louisiana, families' lives are permanently altered by severe car crash injuries. Our New Orleans area law firm has handled a large number of car accident cases, many of which have involved death, burns, severe lacerations and serious spinal cord injuries.
Truck Accidents
Some of the most serious accidents on the road involve crashes with semi-trucks. People injured by tractor trailers often face permanent injuries and wrongful deaths. While trucking companies tend to deny negligence, these accidents are often caused when drivers are overworked — driving too long and too fast without sleep.
Sometimes, the serious injuries involved in car accidents are really caused by car and truck defects. Defective seatbelts, airbags, tires and fuel tanks fail to work — either causing collisions or failing to protect accident victims. One prime example of this is the work we did on Crown Victoria Police Interceptors with rear-mounted fuel tanks that caused explosions and fires when involved in wrecks. Many other cars have defective fuel systems like Ford Mustangs and Jeep Cherokees that kill or maim people. A quick on-site inspection and preservation of the vehicle is critical to success. Notify us immediately is such cases is imperative. You must preserve the vehicle in a products liability case. Swift accident reconstruction is preferred.

One of the best ways to succeed in a car accident case is to take immediate action. The scene and the damage should be photographed. Witnesses should be tracked down and interviewed while their memories are still fresh. Any injuries should be meticulously documented. For example, vehicle burn evidence and patterns must be preserved. At the law office of Glenn C. McGovern, we work closely with our clients to make sure that every detail is captured. Our founding attorney, Mr. McGovern, does a great deal of investigation himself — working side by side with you to make sure that you get the favorable outcome you deserve as compensation for your injuries.
