Louisiana's commercial trucking is concentrated on I-10 (Gulf Coast east-west), I-20 (Texas to Mississippi), and I-49 (north-south Louisiana). The Port of South Louisiana is the largest US tonnage port — massive commercial truck activity.

Louisiana truck accident law — key points

Three legal questions affect almost every truck accident case in Louisiana. Each is governed by a public statute we link below — you can verify everything.

Comparative negligence rule

Louisiana follows pure comparative negligence (La. Civ. Code Art. 2323). Plaintiff can recover even if 99% at fault, with damages reduced by share.
