Kenner roads and highways are full of commercial trucks every day. Many of them come and go to the Port of New Orleans, and others transport goods to other local and distant locations.
With all these big trucks, it is not surprising that Kenner has so many truck accidents each year. When trucks collide with smaller passenger vehicles, the results can be devastating. Many truck accident victims are killed, and many others are left with permanent disabilities.
Truck accident victims are often unable to work and support themselves or their families but have costly medical care needs. These victims need to recover the maximum compensation possible for their damages.

The Kenner personal injury attorneys at Babcock Injury Lawyers have the resources, experience, and skills to investigate your case, identify all possible causes and potentially liable parties, and hold them accountable.

Louisiana Comparative Fault Laws
For incidents on or after Jan. 1, 2026, a claimant 51%+ at fault is generally barred from recovery; at 50% or less, damages are reduced by the assigned percentage. Because trucking cases can involve multiple defendants and complex evidence, talk to a lawyer quickly to protect your claim.
The Kenner truck accident attorneys at Babcock Injury Lawyers work tirelessly to avoid any fault assigned to you and to maximize your compensation.
What Damages Are Recoverable For Kenner Truck Accident Victims?
Damages recoverable in a Kenner truck accident case depend on numerous factors, including the severity and extent of your damages.
Some possible damages you may recover include:
Economic damages such as:
- Current and future medical costs
- Current and future lost wages
- The cost to make necessary modifications to your home and vehicle because of your injuries
- Other necessary expenses incurred because of your injuries
Non-economic damages such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional and mental distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Permanent disability
- Scarring and disfigurement
Punitive damages are rarely awarded in Louisiana. They are designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter future similar behavior rather than to compensate the victim.
If the intoxication of a driver caused your truck accident injuries, you may be awarded punitive damages as well as economic and non-economic damages.
