Laredo Truck Crash Lawyer Fighting for Crash Victims

A Laredo truck accident often leaves devastated lives and families in its wake. The numbers are staggering. In one year alone, 380,000 large trucks (gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds) were involved in traffic crashes in the United States. More than 4,000 of these were crashes. Tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, double-trailers (22-wheelers), and large trucks (semi-trucks) can cause devastating injuries when they crash into consumers driving cars, pick-up trucks, and SUVs. These Laredo truck accidents are often violent, resulting in a rollover, roof crush, vehicle occupant ejections, and permanent life-changing injuries. It is not uncommon for the truck accident victim to suffer from severe personal injury, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), head injury, spinal cord injury, or even wrongful death. A truck crash often leaves permanent, life-changing personal injury as a lifetime consequence. More on this website

Because of a semi-crash, the trucking accident victim and family are left to pick up the pieces of life physically, mentally, and financially. Medical treatment, surgery, and therapy all cost lots of money. Limited insurance can and will only pay for so much of the required care and treatment, and then the truck accident victim is left to fend for himself or herself. Sadly, there are too many cases where a tractor-trailer accident results in wrongful death. The emotional and financial impacts of wrongful death are, of course, overwhelming for loved ones. None of this is acceptable. A truck accident caused by truck driver negligence, improper truck maintenance, defective truck parts, or another source of carelessness simply and drastically changes lives forever. At our Law Firm, we move to protect your legal rights and fight to obtain […]

Injury Claim – What is it Worth?

Have you been involved in an accident and are curious what your case might be worth? To answer this question for you, an injury attorney will typically consult professionals in the medical field to access damages – including monetary, physical, and mental.

The responsible party in an injury case is the one that will be paying the injured individual. Normally the person’s insurance company is responsible for injury compensation. Not all cases go to trial, more often than not the cases are settled outside of the courtroom when a negotiated agreement is reached between involved parties and their legal counsel.

Let us take a look at several types of damages that are most commonly awarded in personal injury cases.

Compensatory Damages in Injury Cases

Compensatory damages are exactly what they sound like – compensation (intended to make the injured plaintiff “whole” from the monetary compensation point of view. Such damages seek to reimburse the injured for anything that was lost due to the accident – whether it be the medical bills, rehabilitation fees, property damages, or any other types of damages that can be assigned with a dollar figure. Not all compensatory damages are easy to estimate, various activities an injured person can no longer perform that cause mental anguish are a prime example. Inability to perform functions at the same physical ability as prior to the accident is another example of difficult-to-estimate compensatory damages.

A quick overview of compensatory damages:

Income – when putting a figure amount on the compensation of income, past income is not the only type of income that is considered. Any future earnings that […]

Truck Accident Lawyer – Negligence and 18-Wheeler Accidents

Negligence and 18-Wheeler Accidents

If you want to have a chance to win, you cannot file a lawsuit in an 18-wheeler accident unless you can identify how the wreck occurred and who caused it. There are several parties that have some involvement in any sort of trip involving the transportation of goods on a truck. It is very likely more than one of them either caused or contributed to the accident you experienced through their negligence. A seasoned truck accident attorney knows how to use that experience to accurately identify both the cause of your wreck and those whose negligence played a role. More on this website

There are several different parties that may eventually be held at least partially responsible for your accident through their negligence. They include the truck driver, the company that owns the truck, the manufacturer of the truck or trailer, the company in charge of planning the route the truck took, the company responsible for the loading of the truck, and other drivers or other third parties.

The truck driver – Truck drivers spend long hours driving and are normally liable, in part or in whole, for injuries that result from a truck accident. In some instances, truck drivers cause accidents due to intentional acts of negligence such as erratic driving, running stop signs, speeding, or even worse, operating their vehicle under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. Studies show that a trucker’s chances of getting into an accident double when being behind the wheel for eight consecutive hours. Also, one in five truck drivers admitted to falling asleep at the wheel at least once […]

Fatal 18 Wheeler Accidents – Personal Injury Lawyer

Our Truck Accident Attorney Discusses Fatal Semi Accidents

Commercial trucks in Texas log thousands of miles each year between industrial and commercial destinations. You’ll see thousands of these trucks on the roads and highways, carrying loads in all compass directions. Unfortunately, our firm also has seen in many instances where the stage is set for a fatal truck accident.

The vehicle drivers may be inexperienced, poorly trained, and compelled to meet unreasonable delivery schedules simply in the name of profits for the trucking firms. They are made to work with faulty equipment. They are given unreasonable deadlines and have to drive while tired. They weren’t properly vetted or they take substances that impair their driving. The commercial trucks were overloaded or improperly loaded.

Many times, these and other factors result in a commercial truck crashing with a passenger car. And sadly, few accidents involving commercial trucks and tractor-trailers result in minor injuries. Negligent operation of big rigs results in thousands of injuries and deaths each year, including neurological damage, disfigurement, decapitation, fires – ultimately this leads to hurt bodies, hurt families and hurt lives. This is because truck accidents are uniquely different from other types of vehicle accidents for the following reason. Accidents with commercial trucks usually cause serious injury or death – because of the impact involving heavy tonnage. In the United States our firm witnesses more than 500,000 truck accidents each year. Of these total truck accidents, a high number end in fatalities, with statistics putting the number of deaths due to truck accidents at about 5,000 each year. Fully 12 percent of all traffic fatalities in […]

Injured in a Truck Accident? Tell us about your case.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration sets out the rules and regulations for semi-tractor (truck or 18-wheeler) drivers and truck companies. Specifically, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) cover the amount of time a truck driver can drive without a break. Federal law requires commercial vehicles traveling in interstate commerce to carry $750,000.00 of insurance for bodily injury and property damage.

Is someone responsible for my injuries?

There are a lot of reasons why an investigation is performed when it comes to a semi-tractor (truck or 18-wheeler) accident because every accident has a cause (untrained driver, speeding, disobeying Safety Procedure, fatigue, equipment failure, negligence, use of drugs or alcohol while driving, negligent entrustment, and much more). Every accident can be attributed to someone’s failure and negligence, and therefore, it is important to investigate an accident to find out who is really responsible for the damages caused to you and your loved one.

What to look for if you are involved in a truck accident

Professionals and experts need to be involved with all aspects of the investigation from the beginning. There might be others liable for harm that has been caused by the accident, such as manufacturers if it is shown that there was a design defect. Many manufacturers are quick to blame the accident on a blown tire, and although that might contribute to the accident, the one thing that needs to be considered is that during most accidents, tires get blown.
