Houston Commercial Truck Accident Attorney

Accidents Involving Commercial Trucks

The size and weight alone of commercial trucks make them extremely dangerous. A loaded 18-wheeler truck can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds (40 tons). In an accident, that weight makes it difficult for drivers to control their vehicles, and to bring them to a safe and quick stop. If you have been involved in an accident with a commercial truck, contact a Houston truck accident lawyer today to discuss the details of your accident and determine if you should take legal action. Commercial truck drivers have a different type of driver's license and insurance than a regular drive r, and this may cause more difficulties for you during the aftermath of your accident. Hiring an experienced truck accident attorney will ease this process, as we are experienced and familiar with all aspects of truck driving cases. We understand the various types of insurance and the different laws which govern commercial trucks. If you have been injured in a commercial truck accident, you may be able to seek compensation for your medical bills and treatments.

In Texas, if it is determined that you are more than 50% "to blame" for an accident, you are not allowed to seek legal recourse against the other drivers involved in an accident. If you are under that 50% mark of fault, you can try to get compensation from the responsible parties. If you are in an accident with a commercial truck, depending on fault, you should immediately take action to pursue compensation for your injuries and other damages, with our help.
