Causes of Trucking Accidents

There are a number of factors that can contribute to a truck accident, which is why proving liability can be incredibly difficult. In order to recover compensation, however, it is imperative to demonstrate who is at fault for causing the crash.

Our truck accident attorneys in Victoria represent clients injured in all types of accidents, including:

  • Driver fatigue and drivers falling asleep at the wheel
  • Inattentive driving
  • Excessive speeding
  • Wide angled turns
  • Lane drift
  • The absence of rear guard to prevent under-riding
  • Load shift and improperly secured loads
  • The absence of reflective markings
  • Failure to pull off onto shoulder correctly
  • Tire blowout
  • Drunk driving or driving under the influence
  • Trucks from Mexico that don’t meet federal highway standards

Investigating a Truck Accident Claim

Trucking companies train truck drivers in methods for avoiding blame. Our Victoria truck accident lawyer gathers facts to determine who is at fault and uses evidence of truck driver negligence to fight for fair compensation. We consult accident investigators who measure skid marks, analyze the data from a truck’s on-board black box recorder, and reconstruct the accident. We also subpoena a truck driver’s log to see if he or she exceeded the number of drive-time allowable hours while taking further investigative steps to determine if driver fatigue or excessive speeding was involved in the truck crash.

How Do You Determine the Financial Impact of a Truck Accident?

Given the size and weight of tractor-trailers and semi-trucks, accidents involving them usually result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities. We consult with life care planners, vocational rehabilitation specialists, medical professionals and economists to determine the true economic cost of a catastrophic injury.

Common injuries that are often sustained in a semi-truck accident include:

  • Head trauma
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Amputations
  • Serious burns
  • Head and neck injuries

Working with economists and life care planners, we present cost estimates for these types of serious injuries. Our Victoria truck accident attorneys consider costs associated with surgery, physical therapy, medical equipment, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

    “Attorney Sam Cole was the first attorney who treated me as a person instead of a paycheck.”
    I have gone through hell in the family court system in Texas against the father of my children, who is an attorney in our community with abundant legal resources. After years of fighting for my children, I was unjustly put in criminal contempt for not bringing my daughter to soccer practice despite following the custody agreement and the advice of my attorneys at the time. I asked about appeal options, and while the attorneys felt my case was justified, they said it would be a waste of my time and money and that only two percent of cases win on appeal. However, as a mother and a teacher, I wanted to clear my reputation and fight for what’s right. I hired a law firm to file a mandamus with the Court of Appeals, but the court denied our petition. Not wanting to give up, I decided to go to the Texas Supreme Court. After consulting with a few attorneys who were very discouraging and didn’t want to take my case, one referred me to Attorney Sam Cole. Sam told me my case was a long shot but agreed I was right and would fight for me if I wanted to proceed. He worked with me on my case and on a payment plan that worked for my situation. He always explained everything and answered questions with patience and understanding. He thoroughly researched all that had happened and the law that surrounded the issue. Sam treated me as a person and not just a paycheck, and had I lost in the Supreme Court, I would still be writing this review. However, the Supreme Court did rule in our favor, and after more than 2.5 years of this hanging over my head, I am completely vindicated. I hope the outcome of my case will help prevent this from happening to others in the future.
