5 people, including an 18-month-old child, were seriously injured when a utility truck traveling at excessive speed made a sudden change and ran into another vehicle, which then struck two more. The utility truck flipped over, spilling nails and construction materials out onto the road. The road was closed until after 9 for accident investigation and cleanup.

The accident occurred just before 8 on Monday morning at the intersection of Saratoga Boulevard and Kostoryz Road in Corpus Christi. Our Texas utility truck accident lawyers note that witness accounts apparently don’t agree on just what happened and cause the wreck. So far, it’s been stated by Corpus Christi police that the utility truck driver will be cited for a failure to control his speed.

The 5 injured victims of the wreck, including the utility truck driver, received transport to Corpus Christi hospitals with serious injuries said to be non-life threatening. The utility truck driver had lacerations on his foot and his back and also complained of back, neck, rib, and collarbone pains. (Source: John Allen, Corpus Christi Caller Times, 2/18.13)

Truck Accident Victims may be eligible to hold Negligent Truckers as well as their Employers Financially Accountable for Serious injuries resulting from a Dangerous Wreck

When you and your family members have been seriously injured in a truck wreck, medical expenses can pile up fast, even as you lose wages while out of work recovering. A negligent truck driver won’t necessarily have the resources to help pay those accident costs. But the company that employs him might. And you should know that you might be able to hold that company financially accountable for its employee’s actions and your injuries under the doctrine of employer vicarious liability.

Additionally, truck drivers that were injured because their brakes failed due to inadequate maintenance might also have a cause of action against their employer. You aren’t without recourse after a serious truck wreck injury. Click on the book icon on this web page to download our Texas utility truck accident lawyers’ free guide to truck accident injury claims.
