SEMI-TRUCK ACCIDENT ATTORNEY SERVING HOUSTON AND SUGAR LAND, TEXAS

Oftentimes when we contend with semi-truck accidents, people get seriously injured. Violent tumbles of these sizable trucks can result in massive spectacles of tragedy, and some of the most common injuries or consequences to come out of these events include:

• Concussions and traumatic brain injuries

• Neck and back injuries, including paraplegia and disc herniations

• Soft-tissue damage, dislocations, and fractures

• Loss of limbs

• Fatality

We Know the Trucking Company's Tactics

These injuries are often permanent, so it is integral that you get the help of an experienced lawyer to fight for justice on your behalf. Trucking companies can and need to be held liable for the pain and suffering their massive trucks — and the employees who operate them — can cause. When it comes to the legal process, our firm knows exactly how trucking companies operate and how to handle them.

For example, once we get involved, these companies usually take these cases much more seriously; they're aware that, unless a fair settlement is offered to fully compensate victims for medical bills, lost work time, emotional duress and more, the case will be taken to trial. In these situations, matters can get very complicated for trucking companies.

Truck Drivers & Companies Hold High Responsibility

In fact, negligent drivers often make mistakes because of very universal instances of carelessness on the road, as well as behavior more specific to their occupation. Different from a regular car accident, trucking companies and truck drivers must adhere to laws known as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations in addition to ordinary traffic laws.

These federal laws for trucking companies detail everything from the kind of training truck drivers must receive to how long drivers are allowed to stay behind the wheel before they are required to take an eight-hour break. Some forms of their negligence may include:

• Improper maintenance

• Failure to update and maintain driver log books

• Traffic violations, such as speeding

• Fatigued and overworked drivers

• Inexperienced and unqualified drivers

• Drugged or drunk drivers

If any of the above forms of negligence were the cause of your injury, then you have a case that requires the attention of a skilled attorney like Frederick Wilson.
