Work-Related Dallas Truck Accidents

While a truck accident can happen anywhere, in the Dallas area we see most truck crashes along interstates 20, 30, 35E, and 45, as well as US Highway 75. Trucking accidents also happen on jobsites, construction sites and oilfields where there is a lot of traffic and equipment operating in a small area.

If you were in a truck accident on the job, you may have more than one option for financial recovery. You may need to file for workers’ comp, or you may be able to file a personal injury claim. It depends on the circumstances of your truck accident and whether the driver worked for your company or for a subcontractor on the jobsite.

Fault Pays a Role in Your Financial Recovery

We’re relentless fighters in negotiations with insurance companies and at trial. We’re committed to getting our clients get fair and full compensation, no matter how complicated your case. We’ve handled every kind of vehicle accident case, including:

What If Faulty Equipment Played a Role in My Truck Accident?

In Texas personal injury and wrongful death cases, the person more at fault for causing the accident is held responsible. It’s vitally important, then, to understand how the accident occurred. That’s not always obvious, or simple.

The value of working with an experienced law firm like ours is our proven ability to investigate truck crashes. Sometimes our investigation turns up equipment failures or design flaws that cause or contribute to injuries. Product liability cases are complex, but we have successfully held manufacturers accountable for the injuries their products have caused.

Sometimes our investigation turns up violations of trucking laws, such as driving too long without a break or failing to properly maintain the truck.

Sometimes the crash can be the result of driver impairment with drugs or alcohol or a medical condition that should have kept them off the road. Or the company that hired the driver has a pattern of hiring unqualified drivers.

Learn more about the causes of truck accidents and how we take action to prove who was really at fault in your injury case.

What is a Full and Fair Financial Recovery for Your Injuries?

It’s tempting to accept the insurance company’s settlement offer, but before you do, talk to a truck accident attorney. What sounds like a lot of money now, may not be nearly enough to cover your long-term medical needs for a serious injury. Your financial recovery needs to include all of your current and future costs and needs, including:

  • Current and future medical care
  • Pain and suffering
  • Adaptations to your home or vehicle
  • Lost wages while your injuries heal as well as future loss of income if you can’t go back to your previous job
  • Repair or replacement of your vehicle

Wrongful Death from a Dallas Trucking Accident

The surviving spouse, child or parents of a truck accident victim can bring a wrongful death claim within two (2) years of death. The executor of the deceased person’s estate can also bring a wrongful death claim if a family member has not done so.

We work with grieving families as well as executors to get the compensation they need and deserve. Learn more about Dallas wrongful death claims and how we can help you recover from the sudden, tragic loss of a family member.
