Most Commercial Trucking Accidents Produce Expensive Damages and Painful Injuries
After you’ve been hit by a tractor-trailer rig and have been seriously injured, the first thing that must be learned is who is responsible and, in the eyes of the law, legally liable for the terrible property damage and serious injuries you suffered. Several parties may share the blame in many big truck accidents, which means there could be more than one defendant. In a commercial truck accident injury claim, this combination of different parties can include the trucker, the company he or she works for, the company that loaded the trailer, and the person who planned the truck’s route, to name a few.

Texas personal injury law is a legal precedent called “respondeat superior.” It states that employers of those liable for the wreck their employee causes are, by legal definition, responsible for their employee’s action or inaction (or mistake) if others are injured because of it. There’s another source of liability. The state of Texas and many counties now outsource a lot of road maintenance and highway construction projects to private companies. The work performed by these firms can sometimes contribute to a big truck wreck in which you are the injured victim, thereby making the contractor liable for the wreck. To win your claim among a variety of potential defendants, you need an experienced prominent truck wreck lawyer who can investigate the scene of the collision and discover all who are liable.

Local or state law enforcement agencies investigate commercial trucking accidents, though their jobs are to get to the bottom of the primary cause of the wreck and any laws that may have been broken. Rarely do they “drill down” to identify all responsible contributors. Law enforcement investigations usually fall short of identifying every underlying cause of the accident or the parties responsible. Experienced trucking accident lawyers and their investigators conduct much more stringent investigations to identify all who are liable. Our Law Office and its’ team of veteran investigators know how to determine the degree of each responsible party in every trucking accident. At times our investigations might uncover additional criminal facts about the wreck that law enforcement investigators miss. When that happens, we pass this information to the appropriate agencies for further discretionary action. Suppose some sort of part was essential to the truck’s safe operation or wasn’t serviced properly. In that case, one of the liable defendants could likely be the manufacturer (or service operation) and subject to a defective product lawsuit. So your trucking accident lawyer must also be adept at investigating and instigating appropriate compensatory actions involving defective products. Because it is not easy to identify all who are responsible for a truck wreck is another reason why you stand to gain through the expertise of a Texas big rig wreck attorney that determines every liable party that is responsible for a trucking accident in our community, the damage to your vehicle and its contents, and the painful injuries to you and the passengers in your vehicle.
