18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys in Iberia Parish: Fighting for Maximum Compensation After Catastrophic Truck Crashes

When an 80,000-Pound Truck Changes Everything

One moment, you’re driving along US-90 through Iberia Parish, heading toward the Port of Iberia or maybe crossing the Bayou Teche. The next moment, an 18-wheeler jackknifes across the highway, or a loaded tractor-trailer blows a tire on the humid pavement, or a fatigued driver hauling sugarcane from the nearby fields drifts into your lane. In that instant, your life changes forever.

We don’t have to tell you how dangerous Iberia Parish highways can be. Between the heavy port traffic moving through the Port of Iberia, the constant flow of oilfield equipment trucks serving the Gulf, and agricultural haulers transporting sugarcane and seafood, our roads see more than their fair share of massive commercial vehicles. When one of these 80,000-pound machines crashes into a 4,000-pound passenger car, the results are catastrophic.

Ralph Manginello has spent over 25 years fighting for trucking accident victims. Since 1998, he’s been admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, giving him the federal court experience necessary to handle complex interstate trucking cases that wind up in Iberia Parish. Our firm has recovered multi-million dollar settlements for families devastated by 18-wheeler crashes—including a $5+ million settlement for a traumatic brain injury victim and a $3.8+ million settlement for an auto accident amputation case.

Most importantly, our team includes associate attorney Lupe Peña, who spent years working for a national insurance defense firm before joining Attorney911. He knows exactly how trucking insurers evaluate claims, minimize payouts, and deny legitimate injuries—because he used to be on their side. Now he uses that insider knowledge to fight for Iberia Parish families, ensuring you get every dime you deserve.

The clock is already ticking. Louisiana law gives you just one year from the date of your Iberia Parish trucking accident to file a lawsuit—one of the shortest deadlines in America. Even worse, critical evidence like black box data can be overwritten within 30 days, and trucking companies hire rapid-response teams to protect their interests before the ambulance even leaves the scene.

Call us immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911. We answer 24/7, and we send spoliation letters within hours to preserve the evidence that will win your case.

Why Iberia Parish 18-Wheeler Accidents Require Specialized Legal Expertise

The Unique Dangers of Trucking in Acadiana

Iberia Parish isn’t just any rural Louisiana parish—it’s a critical hub for energy, agriculture, and maritime commerce that creates unique trucking hazards you won’t find in other parts of the country.

The Port of Iberia serves as a vital link in the Gulf Coast energy supply chain, meaning our highways are constantly clogged with heavy equipment haulers, tanker trucks carrying hazardous materials, and oversized loads bound for offshore rigs. These aren’t typical freight trucks—they’re specialized vehicles operating under intense pressure to meet tight deadlines, often traveling the same humid roads that see frequent tropical storms and hurricane-force winds.

Combine that with Louisiana’s pure comparative fault system—which allows you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault—and the one-year statute of limitations, and you have a legal environment where trucking companies try to run out the clock while evidence disappears.

Ralph Manginello understands these local dynamics. With 25+ years of experience and federal court admission, he’s handled cases against Fortune 500 companies like BP, and he knows how to navigate the federal regulations that govern interstate trucking through Iberia Parish. When an 18-wheeler collision occurs on LA-182 or near the intersection of US-90 and LA-14, you need an attorney who understands both the federal trucking laws and the local Iberia Parish court system.

The Insurance Defense Advantage That Wins Cases

Here’s what most Iberia Parish residents don’t know: trucking companies and their insurers have playbooks specifically designed to minimize what they pay accident victims. They train adjusters to get recorded statements within 24 hours, before you even know the full extent of your injuries. They deploy “rapid response” teams to the accident scene to gather evidence that helps them, not you.

That’s why having Lupe Peña on your team changes everything. As a former insurance defense attorney, he knows exactly how these companies operate from the inside. He knows which settlement offers are genuine and which are lowball tactics. He knows when they’re bluffing about taking a case to trial, and he knows how to counter every dirty trick they use.

As our client Glenda Walker said, “They make you feel like family and even though the process may take some time, they make it feel like a breeze. They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”

That’s the difference when you hire Attorney911. We’re not learning trucking law as we go—we’ve been doing this for decades, and we have an unfair advantage because we know how the other side thinks.

Types of 18-Wheeler Accidents We Handle in Iberia Parish

Jackknife Accidents: The Gulf Coast Weather Factor

A jackknife occurs when a truck’s cab and trailer fold at a sharp angle, often sweeping across multiple lanes of traffic. In Iberia Parish, these accidents are particularly common during our frequent tropical weather events and summer thunderstorms.

When sudden rain hits US-90 or LA-182, the combination of oil residue on the pavement and the weight shift of a loaded trailer can cause a driver to brake improperly, triggering a jackknife. According to 49 CFR § 392.6, truck drivers must operate at speeds reasonable for conditions—which means slowing down during Iberia Parish’s sudden downpours.

We investigate these cases by analyzing ECM data to determine if the driver was exceeding safe speeds for weather conditions, and we check 49 CFR § 393.40 to see if brake systems were properly maintained. A jackknife on the Iberia Parish Highway (LA-182) can block both lanes and cause multi-vehicle pileups, resulting in traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage.

If you’ve been caught in a jackknife accident in Iberia Parish, call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately. Evidence from the truck’s event data recorder disappears quickly.

Rollover Accidents: Port and Agricultural Traffic

Rollovers occur when an 18-wheeler tips onto its side or roof—often catastrophic when the truck is hauling heavy equipment from the Port of Iberia or liquid cargo. These accidents frequently happen on the curves of LA-31 near the port facilities or on the rural highways where sugarcane trucks take turns too quickly.

The physics are brutal: an 80,000-pound truck has a high center of gravity, and when drivers take curves at excessive speeds or encounter unbalanced loads, the result is a rollover that can crush smaller vehicles beneath the trailer.

Under 49 CFR § 393.100-136, trucking companies must properly secure cargo to prevent shifting that causes rollovers. We subpoena loading records from the Port of Iberia or local agricultural facilities to determine if cargo was improperly secured. We also examine driver training records—49 CFR § 391.11 requires drivers to be qualified to operate the specific vehicle and cargo type.

Rollovers in Iberia Parish often result in severe burns from fuel spills, crushing injuries, and wrongful death. Our firm has recovered between $1.9 million and $9.5 million in wrongful death cases, and we bring that same level of aggressive representation to Iberia Parish rollover victims.

Underride Collisions: The Deadliest Crash Type

An underride occurs when a smaller vehicle slides underneath the trailer of an 18-wheeler, often shearing off the roof and killing occupants instantly. These happen frequently on US-90 near New Iberia when trucks stop suddenly or make wide turns.

While 49 CFR § 393.86 requires rear impact guards on trailers manufactured after 1998, many trucks on Iberia Parish roads lack adequate side underride guards—there’s no federal requirement for side guards. When a truck makes a wide turn from LA-14 onto a parish road and a vehicle slides underneath, the results are almost always fatal or cause catastrophic head trauma.

We investigate underride cases by examining the trailer’s guard compliance, lighting systems (49 CFR § 393.11 requires proper reflectors), and whether the driver failed to signal properly under 49 CFR § 392.2. These cases often involve multiple liable parties: the driver, the trucking company, the trailer manufacturer, and the loading company.

Rear-End Collisions: The Stopping Distance Reality

An 18-wheeler traveling at 65 mph needs approximately 525 feet to stop—nearly two football fields. On the congested stretches of US-90 through Iberia Parish, following too closely (49 CFR § 392.11) causes devastating rear-end collisions.

Driver fatigue is a major factor here. Under 49 CFR § 395, drivers may drive a maximum of 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty. But pressure to deliver loads to the Port of Iberia or meet agricultural shipping deadlines often leads to hours-of-service violations. Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data—required under 49 CFR § 395.8 since December 2017—can prove these violations, but only if preserved immediately.

Rear-end truck accidents in Iberia Parish commonly cause whiplash, herniated discs requiring surgery (settlements ranging from $346,000 to $1.2 million), and traumatic brain injuries.

Wide Turn Accidents: “Squeeze Play” in Tight Spaces

Trucks making right turns often swing left first, creating a gap that other vehicles enter—then the truck completes its turn, crushing the vehicle. This happens constantly around the tight intersections near downtown New Iberia and the industrial areas around Port of Iberia.

Drivers must follow 49 CFR § 392.11 regarding unsafe lane changes and state traffic laws for proper turns. When a trucker fails to check mirrors (49 CFR § 393.80 requires adequate mirrors) or signal properly, and a car gets caught in the “squeeze play,” the crushing injuries can include amputations and severe internal trauma.

Tire Blowout Accidents: The Louisiana Heat Factor

Iberia Parish’s extreme heat and humidity take a brutal toll on truck tires. Under 49 CFR § 393.75, tires must have adequate tread depth (4/32″ on steer tires), and under 49 CFR § 396.13, drivers must conduct pre-trip inspections including tire checks.

When a tire blows on a loaded 18-wheeler hauling down US-90, the driver may lose control, causing a jackknife or rollover. Debris from the blowout—often called “road gators”—can strike following vehicles, causing secondary accidents. We preserve the failed tire for defect analysis and check maintenance records to see if the company ignored worn tires to save money.

Brake Failure Accidents: Maintenance Negligence

Brake problems factor in approximately 29% of truck accidents. 49 CFR § 396.3 requires systematic inspection and maintenance. When trucking companies defer brake maintenance to cut costs—which happens frequently with local operators serving the oil fields—brake failure on a descent can cause multi-vehicle pileups.

We obtain maintenance records, driver vehicle inspection reports (DVIRs), and ECM data showing brake application to prove the company knew or should have known about defective brakes.

Cargo Spill and Hazmat Accidents

Given Iberia Parish’s role in the petrochemical industry, trucks frequently carry hazardous materials. Under 49 CFR § 393.100, cargo must be secured to prevent leaking or spilling. When a tanker rolls over on LA-182 or a cargo spill occurs near the port, the resulting chemical exposure can cause severe burns, respiratory damage, and require $5 million or more in specialized insurance coverage (49 CFR § 387 requires $5M for hazmat).

Head-On and T-Bone Collisions

Fatigued or distracted drivers drift across center lines on two-lane parish roads like LA-85 or LA-344, causing head-on collisions with closing speeds exceeding 130 mph. T-bone accidents occur at intersections throughout Iberia Parish when truckers run red lights or fail to yield.

49 CFR § 392.82 prohibits hand-held mobile phone use while driving, and 49 CFR § 392.3 prohibits operating while fatigued. Cell phone records and ELD data prove these violations—but again, only if preserved immediately.

Who’s Liable for Your Iberia Parish Trucking Accident? (Hint: It’s Not Just the Driver)

Most personal injury firms only sue the truck driver and maybe the trucking company. That’s a mistake that costs victims millions. In an 18-wheeler accident, up to 10 different parties may share liability—and every additional defendant means another insurance policy to draw from.

The Truck Driver

The most obvious liable party is the driver who caused the crash. We investigate driving records for previous violations, check for drug and alcohol use under 49 CFR § 382, and examine cell phone records for violations of 49 CFR § 392.82. In Louisiana, a driver’s personal assets may be at stake, but more importantly, their negligence triggers the trucking company’s liability under respondeat superior.

The Trucking Company/Motor Carrier

This is usually your primary defendant because they carry the big insurance policies—typically $750,000 to $5,000,000. Under 49 CFR § 391.51, trucking companies must maintain Driver Qualification Files for every driver. We subpoena these files to check for negligent hiring (did they verify the driver had a valid CDL?), negligent training (did they teach hours-of-service rules?), and negligent supervision (did they monitor ELD compliance?).

We also examine the company’s Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) scores through FMCSA databases. A pattern of safety violations proves the company knew it was putting dangerous drivers on Iberia Parish roads.

The Cargo Owner/Shipper

When the Port of Iberia loads equipment or when agricultural shippers demand unrealistic delivery schedules, they may be liable. If a shipper required overweight loading or pressured the carrier to violate 49 CFR § 395 (hours of service), they share responsibility for the resulting crash.

The Loading Company

Third-party loaders who improperly secure cargo under 49 CFR § 393.100 can be liable when that cargo shifts and causes a rollover. We investigate the specific tiedowns used, whether aggregate working load limits met federal standards (50% of cargo weight for loose cargo), and whether loaders were properly trained.

Truck and Parts Manufacturers

Defective brakes, steering systems, or tires can cause accidents even when the driver does everything right. We investigate recalls through NHTSA databases and retain product liability experts to analyze failed components. In a rollover caused by defective suspension, the manufacturer may bear significant liability.

Maintenance Companies

When third-party mechanics perform negligent repairs—failing to identify critical safety issues or using substandard parts—they can be liable for subsequent brake failures or wheel separations. We obtain work orders and mechanic training records to prove negligence.

Freight Brokers

Brokers who arrange transportation but don’t own trucks may be liable for negligent carrier selection under 49 CFR § 390.6. If a broker selected the cheapest carrier despite terrible safety records, and that decision leads to a crash in Iberia Parish, the broker shares liability.

Government Entities

In limited circumstances, Iberia Parish or the State of Louisiana may be liable for dangerous road design or inadequate signage—though sovereign immunity limits these claims and requires strict notice within shorter deadlines. We investigate Louisiana Department of Transportation (LA DOTD) records for prior accidents at the same location.

The Critical 48-Hour Evidence Protocol: Why You Must Act Now

Here’s the truth that trucking companies don’t want you to know: the evidence that wins your case disappears fast.

• ECM/Black Box Data: Can be overwritten in 30 days
• ELD Records: FMCSA only requires 6-month retention
• Dashcam Footage: Often deleted within 7-14 days
• Surveillance Video: Business cameras typically overwrite in 7-30 days
• Driver Drug Test Results: Must be conducted within specific windows and can be lost

When you call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911, we immediately send spoliation letters to every potentially liable party demanding preservation of:

Electronic Data:

• ECM/EDR (Event Data Recorder) showing speed, braking, and throttle position before the crash
• ELD logs proving hours-of-service violations
• GPS tracking data showing route history
• Qualcomm or fleet management communications
• Cell phone records

Driver Records:

• Complete Driver Qualification File (49 CFR § 391.51)
• Medical examiner’s certificates
• Drug and alcohol test results (49 CFR § 382)
• Previous employer inquiries and driving history
• Training records

Vehicle Records:

• Maintenance and repair logs (49 CFR § 396.3)
• Pre-trip and post-trip inspection reports
• Tire and brake replacement history
• Annual inspection records

Company Records:

• Dispatch logs showing delivery pressures
• Safety policies and procedural violations
• CSA scores and violation histories

Once we send a spoliation letter and litigation is anticipated, destroying evidence constitutes spoliation—which courts punish by instructing juries to assume the destroyed evidence was unfavorable to the trucking company. In some cases, spoliation results in default judgment or punitive damages.

Iberia Parish residents particularly need to act fast. Louisiana’s one-year statute of limitations (the shortest in the country alongside Kentucky and Tennessee) means you have less time than victims in other states. Combined with our humid climate that degrades physical evidence and the Gulf Coast’s tendency toward severe weather that can “wash away” accident scenes, waiting even a week can damage your case.

FMCSA Regulations That Prove Negligence in Iberia Parish Cases

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (49 CFR Parts 390-399) apply to every 18-wheeler on Iberia Parish roads. When trucking companies violate these rules, they create legal presumptions of negligence that strengthen your case.

49 CFR Part 390 – General Applicability

Establishes who must comply with federal regulations. If a vehicle has a GVWR over 10,001 lbs and operates in interstate commerce (which includes trucks coming into Iberia Parish from Texas, Mississippi, or elsewhere), these rules apply.

49 CFR Part 391 – Driver Qualifications

Trucking companies cannot hire drivers who:

• Are under 21 for interstate commerce
• Lack a valid CDL
• Have disqualifying medical conditions
• Have failed drug tests

Under § 391.51, Driver Qualification Files must contain employment applications, motor vehicle records, road test certificates, and medical certifications. Missing or incomplete files prove negligent hiring—a direct basis for liability.

49 CFR Part 392 – Driving Rules

• § 392.3: Prohibits driving while fatigued or ill
• § 392.4/5: Prohibits drug and alcohol use
• § 392.6: Prohibits speeding and scheduling routes that require excessive speed
• § 392.11: Prohibits following too closely
• § 392.82: Prohibits hand-held mobile phone use

Violations of these rules are often captured in ECM data and ELD logs—if preserved.

49 CFR Part 393 – Vehicle Safety and Cargo Securement

Critical sections include:

• § 393.40-55: Brake system requirements
• § 393.75: Tire tread depth requirements (4/32″ on steer tires)
• § 393.80: Mirror requirements
• § 393.86: Rear impact guard requirements
• § 393.100-136: Cargo securement rules requiring tiedowns to withstand 0.8g forward deceleration

When cargo shifts and causes a rollover on an Iberia Parish agricultural route, these regulations provide the legal framework to hold the loading company liable.

49 CFR Part 395 – Hours of Service (HOS)

The most commonly violated regulations:

• 11-hour driving limit: Cannot drive more than 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty
• 14-hour window: Cannot drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty
• 30-minute break: Required after 8 cumulative hours of driving
• 60/70-hour rule: Cannot drive after 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days

ELDs automatically record these metrics since the December 18, 2017 mandate (§ 395.8). This data proves fatigue—a factor in 31% of fatal truck crashes.

49 CFR Part 396 – Inspection and Maintenance

Requires systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance. Drivers must complete pre-trip inspections (§ 396.13) and post-trip reports (§ 396.11) covering brakes, steering, tires, lights, and emergency equipment.

When a truck loses a wheel on US-90 causing a chain-reaction crash, maintenance records under § 396.3 reveal whether the company knew about the defect and ignored it.

Catastrophic Injuries and Compensation in Iberia Parish Truck Cases

The physics of an 80,000-pound truck versus a 4,000-pound car creates catastrophic injuries requiring lifetime care. Our firm has secured multi-million dollar settlements because we understand the full lifetime cost of these injuries.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Iberia Parish truck accidents frequently cause TBI when vehicles are crushed or when occupants strike windows, dashboards, or steering columns. Symptoms may include memory loss, personality changes, chronic headaches, and cognitive impairment.

Settlements for moderate to severe TBI range from $1.5 million to $9.8 million+, covering:

• Emergency neurosurgery and ICU care
• Cognitive rehabilitation
• Long-term care facilities or home health aides
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering

TBI cases require expert neurological testimony and life care planning to prove future medical needs.

Spinal Cord Injury and Paralysis

Quadriplegia and paraplegia from truck accidents require $4.7 million to $25.8 million+ in lifetime care, including:

• Wheelchairs and adaptive vehicles
• Home modifications (ramps, lifts, accessible bathrooms)
• Personal care attendants
• Lost wages and benefits over a lifetime of disability

Amputations

When an underride or crushing injury requires limb amputation, settlements range from $1.9 million to $8.6 million, covering:

• Prosthetic limbs ($5,000-$50,000+ each, replaced every 3-5 years)
• Phantom pain management
• Occupational therapy
• Career retraining

Severe Burns

Tanker explosions and fuel fires from truck accidents cause third and fourth-degree burns requiring:

• Skin grafts and reconstructive surgery
• Infection management
• Psychological counseling for disfigurement

Louisiana allows full recovery for these damages with no caps on pain and suffering or punitive damages.

Wrongful Death

When a trucking accident kills a loved one in Iberia Parish, surviving family members can recover:

• Lost future income and employment benefits
• Loss of consortium (spousal companionship, parental guidance)
• Mental anguish and emotional distress
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Punitive damages for gross negligence (reckless disregard for safety)

Wrongful death settlements in truck cases typically range from $1.9 million to $9.5 million+, depending on the victim’s age, earning capacity, and the egregiousness of the trucking company’s conduct.

Insurance Coverage: Why Trucking Cases Are Worth More

Federal law requires trucking companies to carry minimum liability coverage far exceeding typical auto insurance:

• $750,000: Non-hazardous freight under 10,001 lbs
• $1,000,000: Oil, petroleum, large equipment
• $5,000,000: Hazardous materials

Many carriers carry $1-5 million or more in coverage, with excess/umbrella policies on top. Unlike car accidents where you might face a $30,000 policy limit, trucking accidents typically have sufficient coverage to pay for catastrophic injuries—if you have an attorney who knows how to access it.

Insurance companies make lowball offers hoping you’ll accept before you know the full extent of your injuries. They use software like Colossus to undervalue pain and suffering. That’s why having Lupe Peña—a former insurance defense attorney—on your team is critical. He knows these valuation algorithms and how to counter them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Iberia Parish 18-Wheeler Accidents

How long do I have to file a trucking accident lawsuit in Iberia Parish?

Louisiana has a one-year statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims—the shortest in the United States. This means you have exactly one year from the date of the accident to file suit. Wait longer, and you lose your right to recover anything. Evidence preservation is equally urgent; call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately.

What if the trucking company says I was partially at fault?

Louisiana follows pure comparative fault. You can recover damages even if you were 99% at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. So if you suffered $1 million in damages but were found 20% at fault, you recover $800,000. Don’t let the trucking company intimidate you—let us investigate the true causes.

Can I sue the trucking company if the driver was an independent owner-operator?

Usually yes. Even with owner-operators, the trucking company often controls dispatch, loading, and scheduling—creating liability under respondeat superior or for negligent selection and supervision. We examine lease agreements and operational control to determine liability.

What happens if the truck driver was from Texas or another state?

That’s where Ralph Manginello’s federal court admission becomes crucial. We can file in federal court if there’s diversity jurisdiction (out-of-state defendant), or we can file in Louisiana state court. Federal court often provides advantages in trucking cases due to nationwide service of process and familiarity with FMCSA regulations.

How much is my Iberia Parish trucking accident case worth?

Every case is unique, but truck accident settlements typically exceed $500,000 for serious injuries and can reach millions for catastrophic cases. Factors include: injury severity, need for future care, lost earning capacity, available insurance, and whether punitive damages apply for gross negligence.

Will my case have to go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know which lawyers are willing to go to court—and they offer better settlements to clients with trial-ready attorneys. We’ve gone toe-to-toe with Fortune 500 companies like BP, and we’re not afraid to take your case to verdict if necessary.

Do you offer Spanish-language services?

¡Sí! Hablamos Español. Associate attorney Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish and provides direct representation without interpreters. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 and ask for Lupe if you prefer to discuss your case in Spanish.

What if the trucking company already offered me a settlement?

Do not accept any settlement without consulting an attorney. Quick offers are designed to pay you far less than your case is worth before you understand your injuries. Once you accept, you waive your right to additional compensation—even if your condition worsens.

How do I pay for a lawyer?

We work on contingency—you pay nothing unless we win. We advance all investigation costs and case expenses. There are no upfront fees, no hourly rates, and no retainer. When we win, our fee is a percentage of the recovery. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.

What if I don’t have health insurance and can’t afford treatment?

We work with medical providers who accept payment on a “letter of protection” basis—meaning they get paid when your case settles. Don’t delay treatment because of money; your health comes first, and we’ll handle the financial arrangements.
