RV Trailer Accidents

Information What To Do

Like 18-wheelers and other commercial trucking vehicles, recreational vehicles (RVs) and vehicles with trailers create a tremendous risk for the driving public. Because of their size and weight, RV and trailer accidents usually result in critical injuries or the wrongful death of those involved. If you have suffered severe wounds or lost someone you love in an RV or car-with-trailer accident, seek medical attention immediately. Then, call a competent team of personal injury attorneys.

At Murphy Law Firm, we represent injured clients and the families of those who have died in RV and trailer incidents throughout Louisiana. For nearly 150 combined years, our Baton Rouge trailer accident lawyers have been offering high-quality legal representation backed by a commitment to aggressive litigation services personally tailored to each client’s individual needs. We handle all types of RV collisions, including those involving a car accident or incidents with bicycle riders.

Working With the Insurance Company Agent

Don’t be a victim twice. The insurance company will almost certainly try to minimize or deny the total costs of your injuries. You can trust our trailer accident lawyers to fight for what you deserve. We have experience handling insurance companies and will defend your right to full and fair compensation. We have a wealth of experience handling RV and trailer accidents that include:

  • RV/trailer accidents involving passenger injuries
  • Accidents caused by cell phone use
  • Rear-end collisions
  • Drunk driving accidents
  • Wrongful death
Our Trailer and RV Accident Attorneys Can Help

Similar to a truck accident, the consequences of a trailer or RV collision can be devastating. Such incidents typically lead to extensive damage, such as:

  • Severe physical injuries (e.g., broken bones and traumatic brain injuries)
  • Emotional trauma (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety)
  • Property damage (e.g., totaled vehicles and damaged personal belongings)
  • Loss of income (e.g., inability to work due to injuries or loss of job)
  • Medical expenses (e.g., hospital bills, surgeries, and long-term care)
  • Pain and suffering (e.g., ongoing physical discomfort, emotional distress)

Contact us, and an experienced RV accident or car wreck lawyer from our team will guide you through the process and protect your rights. We’ll help you secure the compensation you need to recover and rebuild your life.

Louisiana RV & Trailer Accident Laws

Louisiana “No Pay, No Play” Rule
Comparative Fault Statute – Article 2323

A. In any action for damages where a person suffers injury, death, or loss, the degree or percentage of fault of all persons causing or contributing to the injury, death, or loss shall be determined, regardless of whether the person is a party to the action or a nonparty, and regardless of the person’s insolvency, ability to pay, immunity by statute, including but not limited to the provisions of R.S. 23:1032, or that the other person’s identity is not known or reasonably ascertainable. If a person suffers injury, death, or loss as the result partly of his own negligence and partly as a result of the fault of another person or persons, the amount of damages recoverable shall be reduced in proportion to the degree or percentage of negligence attributable to the person suffering the injury, death, or loss.

B. The provisions of Paragraph A shall apply to any claim for recovery of damages for injury, death, or loss asserted under any law or legal doctrine or theory of liability, regardless of the basis of liability.

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs A and B, if a person suffers injury, death, or loss as a result partly of his own negligence and partly as a result of the fault of an intentional tortfeasor, his claim for recovery of damages shall not be reduced.
