Texas 18 Wheeler Accidents Injury Lawyer: Thousands For Lost Wages, Medical Bills

In 2003, there were 119,000 people injured in traffic accidents involving 18-wheelers, and over 4,600 deaths, 84% of which were motorists and passengers in the other vehicles.

Texas has the largest volume of heavy transport traffic in the United States. Millions of trucks cross the Texas-Mexico border alone each year, and as the volume increases, the number of unsafe vehicles, drivers, and driving practices is sure to increase too. Unfortunately, it is at the cost of lives and injury to thousands of innocent motorists across our state.

If you or a family member has been injured or killed in an accident involving an 18-wheeler, there are some important things that you should know about the compensation owed to you. First, negligent trucking companies are not going to just hand you the settlement you deserve. You need legal representation, an advocate for your rights to get proper compensation for your short-term and long-term medical bills, pain, and suffering. Often settlements can be made out of court, so that you don't have to re-live the horrific experience again and again.

But be careful in who you select to represent you. Your lawyer must have knowledge and expertise in many different areas of laws including:

• Federal and state regulations regarding licensing, insurance, and training
• Regulations on safe transport of hazardous materials
• Hours-of-Service regulations for driver logs including accurate log entries and adherence to maximum driving hours
• Regulations pertaining to securing loads and maximum speed limits by vehicle
• Corporate liability
• Criminal law regarding vehicular mishap
• Manufacturer recalls
