Truck accidents can be severe and traumatic. Immediately after being involved in a truck accident it is important to seek medical attention and talk to a truck accident lawyer about your options for recovery.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Texas has the highest number of fatal truck accidents compared to all other states. In 2017, a total of 129 people died in truck crashes.
Since truckers are often paid by the load instead of the hour, it encourages them to drive faster and work longer hours. The driver and the company are ultimately responsible for making sure the drivers are properly trained and that the trucks are in operating in safe conditions.
The trucking company, truck driver, other drivers, and even municipal bodies could be liable for the accident.
You may be partially responsible for an accident. This does not disqualify you from filing a truck accident claim. If you are 10 percent responsible, then your compensation would be reduced by 10 percent. However, if you are 51 percent or more responsible, then this would limit your ability to file a claim. An attorney can advise on your best course of action.
As soon as the accident occurs, the driver will call the trucking company, which will deploy a team of investigators, attorneys, and insurance reps to start building a defense. This will not be a neutral and impartial investigation. They will be looking exclusively for evidence against you. That’s why you need an attorney on your side as soon as possible to start building a case for you. Same applies if the victim is an incapacitated friend or family member. You can contact a lawyer on their behalf.
