Truck Accident

Helping Crash Victims Get Fair Compensation Throughout Texas

Anytime someone is involved in an accident with a semi-truck, delivery truck, garbage truck, or another commercial vehicle, the result is often disastrous. It is not uncommon for the companies that own these vehicles to reach out to truck accident victims and offer them an unrealistically low settlement offer.

Determining Liability for a Truck Accident

​

It is critical for truck drivers to conduct a series of safety regulations called the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. These include truck maintenance, driver training and driver hours. When these regulations are not followed through, the risk of a collision is risen. The factors for these collisions can include, but are not limited to:

  • Driver fatigue

  • Inattention of driver

  • Speeding

  • Poor truck maintenance

  • Overloaded truck

  • Imbalanced or unsecured loads

  • Improper turning and lane changes

  • Equipment failure

​

​

Liability can fall upon:

  • The driver

  • The owner of the tractor

  • The owner of the trailer

  • The owner of the freight

  • The truck’s manufacturer

  • A third-party maintenance company
