Collisions with large commercial trucks — like 18-wheelers, semi-trailers, and box trucks — are some of the most devastating accidents on Louisiana roads. These crashes often result in life-altering injuries or fatalities, and the legal aftermath can be just as overwhelming. At Macaluso Law, LLC, we fight for victims of truck accidents across Louisiana, including Metairie, to help them recover compensation and rebuild their lives.
If you were seriously injured in a crash with a big truck, you need a law firm that understands both the medical impact and the legal complexity of these cases. We’re here to help — and we don’t back down from trucking companies or their insurers.
Truck accident claims are very different from standard car crashes. These cases often involve:
Multiple liable parties: driver, trucking company, maintenance crew, cargo loaders, or manufacturers
Federal regulations: commercial drivers and trucking companies must follow strict safety rules
Larger insurance policies: trucking companies carry higher liability coverage but that means more aggressive defense
More severe injuries and damages
Our legal team at Macaluso Law, LLC investigates every detail of your crash to identify who is responsible and to build a case strong enough to stand up to large trucking corporations and their insurers.
Many truck crashes are caused by preventable errors or negligence, such as:
Driver fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel
Distracted driving or texting
Speeding or aggressive driving
Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
Equipment failure or lack of maintenance
Driver inexperience or poor training
Driving under the influence
We work with experts to reconstruct the accident, analyze driver logs, maintenance records, black box data, and more — all to prove what really happened and why it should have been prevented.
When a commercial truck crashes into a car, the results are devastating. Victims often suffer catastrophic injuries, overwhelming medical bills, and permanent life changes. At Macaluso Law, we represent clients across Louisiana, including Metairie, who were seriously hurt in 18-wheeler and big truck accidents. Our legal team knows how to handle aggressive trucking companies — and we fight to make sure you’re not stuck paying for their mistakes.
From I-10 and Airline Drive to the busy trucking corridors near Metairie, we know how frequently these accidents occur and how hard it is to get straight answers from trucking companies. We’re proud to represent Louisiana residents who’ve been hurt in truck accidents, and we have the experience, resources, and local insight to pursue justice for you.
Because of the massive size and weight of commercial trucks, the injuries from these crashes are often catastrophic. We’ve represented truck accident victims suffering from:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
Multiple fractures and internal injuries
Severe burns or amputations
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Wrongful death cases for grieving families
Our job is to make sure you’re not left with a lifetime of bills, pain, and uncertainty while the trucking company moves on.
If you were injured due to a truck driver’s negligence or a trucking company’s carelessness, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Emergency medical care and surgeries
Ongoing rehabilitation and future treatment
Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Mental and emotional trauma
Property damage
Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
At Macaluso Law, LLC, we don’t settle for the first offer. We fight for the true value of your claim not just what the insurance company wants to pay.
