Truck Accident Lawyers Texas
In many 18-wheeler accidents, multiple parties may be liable for such negligence. There is no limit to the number of rightful defendants. This is due to a legal concept in Texas law called “respondent superior.” It establishes that employers of those found liable for their actions or inaction while on the job are legally responsible for their behavior. To win your claim among several likely defendants, you need an experienced local 18-wheeler accident lawyer on your side that also can investigate the scene of an accident, determine who is (and isn’t) liable, and set your sights on them. This investigation is over and above the normal local or state law enforcement investigations. Time is of the essence get in touch with our truck / 18 wheeler accident Attorneys in Laredo Today!
Though most of the time, those investigations reveal the primary responsible party, they consistently stop short of the type of examination experienced by truck accident lawyers and their investigator’s conduct. These “drill-down” investigations reveal every liable party and the degree of responsibility each one played in the wreck. Occasionally, our investigations uncover other facts of the case that law officials miss. We pass them along for further action if they feel it is warranted. That’s a good thing for you. Injured 18-wheeler accident victims, as the plaintiff in the case, must determine whether the negligent truck driver caused the wreck, if a mechanical malfunction might be responsible, or if someone else played an important part.

Many different contributing factors can abruptly lead an 18-wheeler into your life. The company that owned the cargo may have failed to load it properly or didn’t properly secure it. This made it shift or break free during transport and toppled the trailer onto your vehicle. Or the transport company’s route planner was negligent in sending the truck into an area not zoned for 18-wheelers. Or many other negligent acts may have caused this wreck. Rare is when we see an open-and-shut 18-wheeler injury accident case. This is why it is in your best interests to harness the expertise of an 18-wheeler accident injury lawyer who will assure that all the liable parties for your injuries from that big rig accident are held responsible for your injuries, pain, and suffering lost wages as well as the damage to (or replacement of) your vehicle and its contents.
Are You Serious? Why Do I Need a Lawyer?
That depends. Hypothetically, would you serve as architect and contractor in building your own home on a clear lot if you’ve never learned those refined skills or accumulated the experience? How about performing brain surgery on your child or spouse? We won’t ask you to ask that parenthetical question. But you know that experience wins. In the “game” you are about to play with the defendants, it’s by their rules and on their playing field. We say “game” because that’s how your opponent views it. They’re very good at it. Some people just can’t get it out of their heads that they think they know enough about everything to handle things themselves. Personal injury claimants are no exception.
But the truth is this: a non-attorney has the impossible task of successfully representing him or herself in court, negotiating a fair settlement with insurance companies, or triumphantly arguing a tedious personal injury case in court. We’ve yet to see that happen, and we’ve been around for a long time. Litigation in 18-wheeler injury accidents is extremely complex. Inexperienced attorneys rarely recover reasonable compensation for their accident victims. As we said, non-lawyers have no real hope. To successfully tackle a personal injury case involving an 18-wheeler accident, why would you even entertain anything less than having the most experienced 18-wheeler accident lawyer on your side, especially when tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars are at stake? You also might want to reconsider the offer of a relative lawyer or attorney-friend to represent you, even if the offer is made with the best intentions. They might sound inspired to fight hard for your injury compensation rights after an 18-wheeler has invaded the lives of your family. But you’ll soon discover that personal relations might find it very hard to detach him or herself from issues surrounding your case emotionally. A specialized truck accident lawyer must be no-nonsense, with a keen eye of focus solely on the facts (not the emotional attachment), if you are to be successful. What happens if that friend or relative attorney doesn’t win the case or accepts a less-than-fair settlement because he knows how badly you need the money now? How will everyone feel once you reach that point, only to be denied that fair damage compensation has now passed? Keep your family members and friends out of your legal business. You will be wise to remember this when deciding who will represent your 18-wheeler accident injury lawsuit. Let them be part of your personal support system. That’s where their experience lies.
