The Reality: Company Vehicle Accidents in New Orleans

Collisions involving company-owned or company-operated vehicles are unfortunately a common occurrence in New Orleans and Louisiana.

The frequency of company vehicle accidents in New Orleans plus the complexity of liability (driver, employer, vehicle owner, vendor) not only present risks to fellow motorists and pedestrians but require experienced law firms to represent victims and handle the complexity of claims.

Common Company Vehicle Injuries We Handle

Company vehicles can include delivery vans, contractor trucks, service vehicles and box trucks and the physical injuries that result from a collision can range from moderate to catastrophic. In New Orleans and across Louisiana, some of the injuries we frequently see include:
  • Whiplash and soft-tissue injuries: Even low-speed crashes can cause neck muscle strains, ligament tears or chronic pain from whiplash.
  • Broken bones and fractures: Arms, wrists, legs and ankles are often fractured when an occupant is thrown around in a collision.
  • Head injuries and traumatic brain injury (TBI): A company vehicle crash can cause the driver or occupant’s head to strike interior parts of the vehicle, leading to concussions or serious brain trauma.
  • Spinal-cord injuries, herniated discs and nerve damage: A violent impact may damage the spine or nerves, leading to long-term pain, reduced mobility or paralysis. 
  • Psychological and emotional harm: The trauma of a crash can cause anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress symptoms even when physical injuries gradually heal.

Victims often require emergency medical treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, long-term physical therapy and may face ongoing disability or loss of earning capacity. When a company-vehicle crash occurs, having an experienced legal advocate to secure full compensation becomes essential.
