Commercial Truck Accident — $1.2 Million Result

Since December 2023, Louisiana Revised Statute 32:237 has banned 18-wheelers from the I-20 construction zone through Shreveport and Bossier, where narrow lanes raise the risk of scrapes and multi-car crashes. Despite digital signage, many truckers ignore the detour; police issued more than 300 tickets in early 2024. This page explains the ban and why violations endanger nearby drivers.

The most common car accident injuries fall into a handful of categories: whiplash and soft tissue damage, head and brain trauma, spinal and disc injuries, broken bones, and internal organ damage. Some announce themselves at the scene. Others stay quiet for hours or days.
