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.

    “I was impressed with Jim's guidance and support.”
    Jim has provided legal counsel for me in several situations. I felt well-represented in a very professional way. The most difficult one was when I broke my neck in a car wreck. The insurance of the responsible party did not want to pay anything close to the amount I felt they owed. Jim led me through the process. It was a difficult case, but we settled during negotiations. I was impressed with Jim's guidance and support, and I was very pleased with the settlement. He is a great attorney!
