A Voice For The Injured
In Central Texas
Lawyer For People Injured In 18-Wheeler Accidents
Truck accident personal injury litigation is unique for a variety of reasons. In the first place, the extent of the injuries are often catastrophic and life-changing because of the size and weight of the vehicles involved. In addition, commercial trucking companies operating in West Central Texas are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and are required to follow a complex set of rules regarding driver training, vehicle and trailer maintenance and record-keeping, and hiring practices.
Finally, large over-the-road freight companies are required to carry a minimum of $750,000 in personal injury liability insurance (compared to the $30,000 per person/$60,000 per accident minimum for personal auto liability insurance), and many carry higher limits or self-insure for additional damages in the event of a catastrophic injury or death caused one of their drivers. As a result, accidents involving 18-wheelers are aggressively investigated to protect truckers and trucking companies from liability and large damage claims. In fact, most commercial truck insurers strive to have retained accident investigators on the scene within hours of the crash.
