Serving the New Orleans area and Jefferson Parish. No Fees Unless We Win.
Collisions with large commercial trucks like 18-wheelers, semis, and box trucks are among the most devastating crashes on Louisiana roads. These cases often involve catastrophic injuries and aggressive insurance defense from trucking companies. With offices in Metairie and Harahan, Macaluso Law, LLC represents truck accident victims throughout the New Orleans area and Jefferson Parish.
If you were seriously injured in a crash with a big truck, you need a firm that understands the medical impact and the legal complexity. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case. We do not back down from trucking companies or their insurers.
For broader injury claims beyond commercial truck crashes, see our personal injury lawyer in Louisiana page.
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.
If your crash involved a passenger vehicle, you may also want to review our car accident representation.
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 passenger vehicle, the consequences can be life-changing. Victims often face catastrophic injuries, long-term treatment, and pressure from insurance carriers to settle quickly. Our firm represents clients in Metairie, Harahan, and across the New Orleans area who were injured in 18-wheeler and big truck accidents. We investigate aggressively, preserve critical evidence, and pursue full compensation.
No fees unless we win.

Truck cases often involve critical evidence that can disappear quickly, including driver logs, black box data, dash cam footage, maintenance records, dispatch communications, and cargo documentation. A truck accident lawyer can send preservation notices and take fast action to secure this evidence before it is lost.
Truck crashes may involve multiple liable parties, not just the driver. Depending on the facts, responsibility may include the trucking company, a maintenance provider, a cargo loading company, a broker, or even a manufacturer. Identifying all liable parties is often the difference between a limited settlement and full compensation.
Commercial carriers often have higher insurance coverage, and they respond quickly with adjusters and defense teams. Their goal is to reduce payouts by disputing fault, downplaying injuries, or pushing early settlements. Having legal representation early helps protect your claim and strengthens your case.
