Houston 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer

If a negligent truck driver caused a wreck that left you injured, you deserve to be compensated for your injuries and damages. Get full compensation by working with a Houston 18-wheeler accident attorney.

An accident with an 18-wheeler can cause massive devastation to you, your vehicle, and especially your finances. What’s worse is how complicated determining fault can be. Commercial vehicles such as semi-trucks tend to have numerous parties involved in operating them, and any or all of these could be at fault for the collision.

In order to collect full compensation, you’ll need to name everyone responsible in your injury claim and prove their liability. By working with a Houston 18-wheeler accident lawyer from Denena Points, PC, you’ll receive our legal knowledge and experience at work on your case.

Investigating the 18-Wheeler Crash

Building a compelling case to support your claim will require completing an investigation to determine cause and fault. Your attorney will need to speak with all involved parties, interview first responders and employees of the trucking company, collect witness testimony, and review any available video and photographic evidence.

As mentioned, there are often multiple parties at fault in 18-wheeler wrecks. Some of the individuals and entities that will need to be considered during the investigation are listed below:

  • Truck driver
  • Trucking company
  • Cargo owner, especially if the freight was hazardous or dangerous
  • Maintenance company

It’s critical that all at-fault parties be named in your claim because Texas is a comparative negligence state. Each negligent party is responsible for compensating a portion of your damages that is equivalent to their share of the fault. If you don’t name all negligent parties in your claim, you won’t collect full compensation.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies After a Crash

Of course, you can’t know that your compensation is comprehensive if you don’t know what the full value of your claim is. Your Houston 18-wheeler accident lawyer will help you make this determination so that you won’t have to worry about leaving money on the table.

While your financial losses should obviously be included, the responsible party also needs to compensate you for how your quality of life has suffered.

Furthermore, it’s equally important that your future medical needs be accounted for. A settlement that leaves you paying for costs out of your own finances simply isn’t acceptable.

Listed below are a few examples of damages frequently seen in 18-wheeler accidents. If any apply to your case, you’ll be able to name them in your claim:

  • Current and future medical expenses for treatments, medications, equipment, and therapy
  • Lost wages, income, and earning potential
  • Transportation costs
  • Vehicle repair and replacement
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Lost companionship caused by your injuries
  • Lost enjoyment of life
