Galveston Truck Accident Lawyer

Victims of the negligent driving behaviors of truck drivers deserve compensation for their injuries. To get the compensation you deserve, get in touch with a Galveston truck crash lawyer.

Being injured in a wreck with an 18-wheeler or semi-truck can have a profound impact on your day-to-day life. What if you can’t return to work or have to take time off for surgery? What if you’ve lost a limb or suffered a traumatic brain injury?

You try to recover but worry instead because you’re hurting and your finances are strained. This can all be especially upsetting when the truck accident was someone else’s fault.  

If you were injured in a truck collision that wasn’t your fault, you shouldn’t be expected to pay for the expenses that follow. A Galveston truck accident lawyer from Denena Points, PC can work on your behalf to determine who was at fault and how much that party needs to pay for your inconveniences and suffering.

Identifying Cause and Fault in 18-Wheeler Crashes

In semi-truck crashes, you and the truck’s driver are often not the only ones involved. The driver may work for a trucking company or run his or her own business. From parts manufacturers to cargo loaders to maintenance workers, any number of people might have played a role in your crash and resulting injuries.

Naming all the at-fault parties will only benefit you, ensuring that you recover the largest amount of compensation possible.

The following are some common causes of semi-truck crashes:

  • Inadequate Training – The 18-wheeler driver might not have had the proper training or license to drive such a large vehicle. You might be able to name the trucker or trucking company in your claim.
  • Unrealistic Schedules – Trucking companies sometimes reward drivers for hurrying without considering risks, but the law governs how long a trucker can legally drive without a break.
  • Unsecured Cargo – An inattentive cargo-loading team or defective restraints can cause cargo to fall off of a truck, which can lead to accidents. You might be able to hold the cargo loader or manufacturer of the restraints accountable.
  • Distracted Driving – Distractions like cell phones, navigation systems, and eating or drinking can lead to crashes in any type of vehicle—commercial trucks included. If the trucker in your accident was driving distracted, you can name him or her in your claim.
  • Dangerous Roads – Construction or dangerous conditions can cause truck accidents. Government agencies or construction companies may be responsible in these cases.

Compensation for Your Galveston Truck Accident

Establishing cause and fault are important, but so is knowing the full value of your Galveston truck accident injury claim.

Insurance companies will try to push you to settle quickly for the lowest possible amount. Before signing anything, you should discuss your case with a Galveston truck crash lawyer to make sure any settlement offer covers the true value of your claim.

You aren’t just entitled to compensation for your financial losses; your claim should also address your intangible, non-economic damages. Placing a price tag on these types of damages can be difficult, but your attorney will have experience in this area.

Any of the following losses may apply to your circumstances:

  • Loss of income or earning potential
  • Current and future medical bills or surgeries
  • Vehicle repairs, rental cars, and other transportation needs
  • Decreased interest in life
  • Scarring or disfigurement
  • Pain and suffering
