Victoria Truck Accident Attorneys

Dedicated Lawyers Practicing State & Nationwide

Trucking accidents often result in serious, life-threatening injuries. At the law office of Cole, Cole, Easley & Sciba, P.C., our Victoria truck accident attorneys work with medical experts, economists, and life care planners to determine the financial impact of injuries sustained in a truck accident.

Our law firm has more than 50 years of experience helping individuals and families receive just compensation for their accident injuries or loved one’s death. We understand the state and federal laws that regulate and govern the trucking industry and have the investigative resources needed to expose violations that lead to 18 wheeler accidents.

Exposing Truck Driver Negligence

Trucking companies train truck drivers in methods for avoiding blame. Our office 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.

Causes of Trucking Accidents

Our Victoria personal injury attorneys represent clients injured in truck accidents involving issues such as:

• 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

Determining the Financial Impact of a Trucking 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.

Working with economists and life care planners, we present cost estimates for serious injuries, such as head trauma, spinal cord injuries, amputations, serious burns, and head and neck injuries. Our truck accident attorneys consider costs associated with surgery, physical therapy, medical equipment, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
