Were you involved in a truck accident in one of the local hotspots—along Interstate 30, the 205, John King Boulevard, Goliad Street, or Ridge Road? Was a loved one injured or killed in a trucking accident at a construction site or oil field? Chances are you have a lot of questions: How did this happen? How will the medical bills get paid?

What Is a Full Financial Recovery in Serious Injury Cases?
Truck accidents often cause life-changing injuries, like:
- Brain and head injuries
- Neck injuries and back injuries, and spinal cord injuries, like paraplegia, quadriplegia
- Scarring and disfigurement
Recovering from truck accident injuries takes time. It doesn’t pay to rush into a settlement with the insurance company before your future medical needs are understood. In some cases, a full physical recovery is not possible, and your financial recovery will need to include:
- Compensation for loss of future income
- Future medical care and therapy
- Adaptive equipment for the home
Our Rockwall lawyers handled thousands of car collision and truck accident cases. We understand the challenges our clients face and the ways in which a verdict or settlement ensures they are able to live their best possible lives. Full and fair financial recovery is always our goal.
Determining Fault in a Truck Accident Case
Truck accident cases can be particularly complex. Not only are there many potential causes of the crash, but there could be several people and companies that share fault and several insurers involved.
Fault could rest with the truck driver and/or the trucking company that hired them. It could be a truck maintenance company that failed to do its job. It could involve folks who loaded the truck or secured the cargo. It could be the manufacturer of a truck part or a safety feature that failed. We work with experts when that’s needed to identify one or more causes for the crash. We’ve achieved financial recovery for clients in product liability cases where we uncovered evidence of a product defect.
Another complicating factor in interstate trucking injury cases is jurisdiction. While the injured person lives in Texas, the trucker or trucking company may be headquartered in Delaware. The company or its insurers could argue about which court to use for a lawsuit. The trucking injury attorneys in Rockwall at Ted Lyon Law know the rules that apply to interstate cases.
