Texas City injury attorneys note that if a negligent truck driver injured you, you could sue the truck driver and usually the truck owner as well for the financial harm you’ve suffered. The costs of your medical bills, ongoing medical costs due to your injuries from the wreck, lost wages, and damaged vehicle can all be sought from those responsible for causing those expenses.
For example, Texas City is suing 45-year-old truck driver Kevin Sandles and truck owner Willie Sandles on behalf of city taxpayers to recover the large sum (already more than $100,000) spent in worker’s compensation when the truck crashed with a police vehicle and injured the officer inside. Texas City claims that the truck failed to yield the right of way to Officer Joshua Roberts. Texas City also claims that the truck driver drove his vehicle in a reckless manner, failed to properly control his speed, and failed to watch for other vehicles.
The city says that the truck’s owner should have known that Kevin Sandles was a reckless and unsafe driver who was unfit to be entrusted with driving a heavy truck. Our Texas City injury attorneys point out that the Texas City police officer apparently has not yet recovered from his extensive injuries from the crash, as the already large amount of worker’s compensation benefits paid to the injured officer is expected to increase while the litigation is underway.
Texas City has a team of municipal attorneys to help prosecute their claim for compensation from the truck driver and truck owner. If you’ve been similarly injured because of truck driver negligence, you have an equal right to seek the financial damages you need to pay for the burdensome expenses from the wreck. But you probably don’t have a team of attorneys on staff to handle the claim for you.
If you’ve been injured and need help prosecuting your claim, you should seek the counsel of a Board Certified Texas City injury attorney with extensive experience in handling such injury accident claims. At Denena & Points, our experienced Texas City injury attorneys have earned their Texas Board Certifications in personal injury law through extensive trial practice and top tier client service and case results.
