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-angle 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

No matter how complex your case may be, our commercial truck accident lawyer in Victoria can thoroughly investigate your case and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

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 18-wheeler accident attorneys consider costs associated with surgery, physical therapy, medical equipment, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

    “Best Attorneys in Victoria”
    A little over a year ago, I was in a car accident of no fault of my own. Initially, the person's Insurance company was ok with me. They took liability and told me to take my car to get it fixed. They also informed me they were sending a check for the repair and gave me a rental. After three days, they called and said they were voiding the check and totaling my car! My car had been at the repair shop and was 90% ready. I was SO stressed out, crying, and had no idea what to do! I went to see Luther Easley. I explained the situation to him, and he assured me he would handle it all for me. He gave me such peace of mind immediately. I cannot express the relief I had knowing he was handling everything for me. Luther was kind, patient, and very informative of each step he was taking regarding my case. He was honest, open, and upfront about everything. He never sugar-coated anything. It wasn't about the money for me, but Luther Easley was able to make them repair my vehicle AND won a substantial settlement for me. God forbid you were ever in a car accident or any other kind of accident, but if so, I would highly recommend Luther Easley at Cole Cole Easley Sciba Law Firm. He was the best! Also, his assistant, Donna, was so nice to deal with! The entire staff was very kind and professional! I know everyone thinks lawyers are just out to take your money, but in my situation, I was so grateful to have Luther Easley as my lawyer! He DESERVED and EARNED every penny! I would have been screwed without him; for lack of better words! Thank you, Luther Easley, and kudos to you! You truly are one of the best attorneys in Victoria!
