Claiming Compensation After an 18 Wheeler Truck Crash



As a board certified personal injury and wrongful death lawyer, I know that injuries sustained by car, pickup and motorcycle drivers in a collision with a commercial delivery vehicle are often going to be extremely serious in nature. Due to the sheer size and weight of 18 wheelers, tractor trailers and tanker trucks, they can cause massive property damage and bodily injuries when involved in a wreck with a smaller passenger vehicle.

Due to the number of industrial facilities located in and around Forest Hill, and its proximity to I-20, I-820, US 287 and I-35W there is a high potential for semi-truck accidents to occur. Some of the most serious caused by such wrecks may include traumatic brain injury, amputation, paralysis, blunt force trauma, broken or fractured bones and spinal cord injuries. If you or someone you care for has suffered these or any other injuries as a result of a truck accident which was not your fault, then you might be entitled to significant compensation.

If you are considering making a claim for damages such as medical expenses, loss of income, pain, suffering and mental anguish, then the good news is that commercial motor carriers (truck companies) do not have the same low insurance limits as many Texan drivers. If your claim is legitimate and you have an experienced trial attorney representing you then there is a possibility for you to recover the full and fair compensation you are entitled to under Texas state law. This is very important as doctor bills and hospital fees for even relatively minor truck accident injuries can be enormously expensive. Depending on the type of CDL vehicle which was responsible for your injuries, they likely have insurance limits of anywhere between $750,000 and $5,000,000.

Unfortunately, despite the law requiring truckers and their employers to insure themselves adequately, if they know that it was their negligence which caused the accident to occur, then they will do everything they can to prevent you from recovering the total compensation which you actually deserve. One of the ways they do this is that they will have their own representatives out to the crash scene within hours of the accident occurring. These investigators are trained to look for evidence which helps reduce the case against their employer. Therefore, in order for you to have a reasonable chance of proving they were solely at-fault, it is vital that you have a lawyer fighting on your side as soon as possible.
