Insurance agencies may try to rush a settlement before all of the facts of a case are known. An insurance agent may have tried to talk with you about the accident already. We suggest you talk with an attorney as soon as it you can do so. It’s important to know your rights and to understand the process of getting financial recovery.
Your Financial Recovery is Our Goal
Life after a catastrophic trucking accident could be quite different from the life you or your loved one had before the accident. Serious injuries, like spinal cord injuries, back injuries, and head injuries can require ongoing medical treatment. It’s our job as your truck accident attorneys in Garland to ensure that your financial recovery covers current and future expenses and losses, including:
- Medical care and therapy
- Compensation for pain and suffering
- Adaptations to your home or vehicle if a lasting disability makes that necessary
- Compensation for lost wages while you are away from work
- Future loss of income if you can’t go back to the job you once had
Our law firm also works with families who have lost a loved one in a truck wreck. Compensation in wrongful death cases must also cover the loss of a lifetime earning potential of the deceased family member, as well as the family’s loss of companionship, parental guidance, and more.
A Proven Record of Success in Truck Accident Cases
Our Garland attorneys are disciplined, relentless fighters with a 50-year track record of successful verdicts and settlements in personal injury and wrongful death cases involving truck crashes caused by:
- Unqualified drivers
- Drunk truck drivers or drivers using drugs
- Overly tired drivers who have worked too many hours
- Trucking companies pushing their drivers to violate safety regulations
- Poorly maintained trucks
- Improperly secured loads or faulty safety equipment or improper loading
Trucking accident liability is complex. As you can see, a lot of people and companies could be involved—the trucker, a trucking company, a maintenance company, people loading the truck. Negligence anywhere along the line could have deadly consequences for others on the road.
Could Faulty Equipment Have Caused Your Truck Wreck or Injuries?
Sometimes our investigation turns up equipment failures or design flaws, like faulty seatbelts or malfunctioning airbags. Whether a defective part caused the accident or worsened your injuries, you may be able to bring a product liability case against the manufacturer.
What If You Were on the Job When the Truck Wreck Happened?
Workers’ compensation typically does not pay as much as a personal injury settlement. It does not factor in the injured workers pain and suffering or the impact on the family. But you may not be limited to workers comp, depending on the circumstances of your truck accident.
If you work on a construction site or an oilfield, there are a lot of trucks on the jobsite from subcontractors. You may be able to bring a personal injury claim against the other driver if they worked for a company that is not your employer, and our Garland lawyers can help you do that.
