At Kennedy Hodges, LLP, we provide legal representation in all types of commercial truck accidents, and have a reputation throughout the legal community as a top quality injury law firm with a long history of impressive case results.

Truck accident claims are unique in that the insurance company involved is a commercial insurer. They have their own teams of accident investigators, and they represent the trucking firm and their interests. As with any insurance company, they are concerned with their corporate bottom line, and do not represent you, your family or your interests. It cannot be understated how important it is that you have quality legal counsel representing you and protecting your rights in any injury claim involving a commercial truck.

Truck Accident Attorney in Houston

Our firm can assist the injured or their families in all types of truck accidents with regard to compensation for personal injury. We provide responsive, professional and dedicated legal counsel to those who have been injured in a 18 wheeler accident, truck/auto collisions, and have extensive knowledge and experience in documenting the causes of truck accidents in injury claims and lawsuits. Any accident caused by a commercial truck, whether as a result of defective truck equipment, trucking company negligence, overloaded trucks, or a tired driver, will be carefully investigated, including by federal agencies.

Trucking firms are regulated by the federal Department of Transportation, among other federal agencies. There are extreme inherent dangers to others when heavily loaded semis are sharing the road. Truck accidents are the cause of an astonishing number of fatal or serious injury accidents throughout the nation, and Houston is no exception. There are several common underlying causes, including tired drivers, negligent truck operators who are driving at a speed faster than regulations allow, based on road conditions, as well as those who are drunk or intoxicated by a variety of drugs.

Our cases have exposed driving log violations when the driver violated regulations regarding time behind the wheel and the rest requirements, leading to large settlements and verdicts. We take on such cases fully committed to our client's future, health, and in pursuing every form of compensation that should be paid, based on the degree of injuries and other damages in their unique case. Many are very seriously or permanently injured, and will need long term medical care and treatment, skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, and may never be able to function as they had prior to the accident. Others may have less serious injuries and will eventually recover and be able to move on, but the ramifications of an accident can be extensive, including affecting your ability to work and earn a living or function as you had prior to the accident. Our legal team can file a claim in which independent contract drivers were involved, and can advise you what to do in after a truck accident. We have developed powerful and respected experts in truck highway accidents and truck regulations that can assist in supporting your claim or lawsuit.

We have been named as SuperLawyers, listed in Top 100 Trial Lawyers, and are members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. We provide personal legal representation, and always have our clients and their families as our only focus and concern. Our personal dedication to our cases has led to many high value settlements, and we are very willing to take the case to a jury if the insurance company does not respond to our demands for fair compensation. We are here to protect you, your rights, you family and your future.
