Pearland Truck Accident Lawyer

Commercial trucking accidents are difficult to get fully compensated for due to the number of potential at-fault parties. Find out who to name in your claim by working with a Pearland truck accident lawyer.

Many people have sympathy for the drivers of semi-trucks and 18-wheelers because they face dangerous obstacles on the road, especially from negligent drivers. The fact of the matter is that these truck drivers can be just as negligent, and if you’ve been involved in an accident with a semi-truck, you know firsthand how dangerous it can be.

Accidents with commercial trucks come with their own set of headaches. Outside of the likely severe damage to your vehicle, you’ll now have to deal with the trucking company’s insurance, and they won’t be eager to pay out more than the absolutely have to.

The process of filing a personal injury claim after this type of crash can be hard to deal with, so hiring a Pearland truck accident lawyer from Denena Points, PC is a good choice to make so that you can get through it as best as possible.

Determining Fault in Commercial Trucking Wrecks

An accident with a commercial truck can happen for a number of reasons, including distracted driving, drowsy driving, faulty truck parts, and loose or detached cargo. In any case, there may be multiple parties at fault.

As an example, let’s look at drowsy driving. It may seem obvious that the truck driver who is driving fatigued is at fault—but that’s not the end of it. Other parties at fault in this scenario might include the following:

  • The cargo’s owner for providing incentives that encourage driving long periods without rest 
  • The trucking company for not following state laws regarding the amount of time a driver can be on the road without a break

You now have four potential parties at fault, all of whom need to be investigated to determine where the fault lies. Your Pearland truck accident lawyer will interview all of the potential parties at fault, possibly deposing them, to get the evidence needed to support your claim.

Comprehensive Compensation for a Semi-Truck Crash

As mentioned, naming all of the at-fault parties in your claim will maximize the amount of compensation you are eligible to receive. These are just a few of the financial and non-economic damages you might be able to claim:

  • Medical bills, both current and future
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost income, wages, and earning potential
  • Rehabilitation or physical therapy, if medically necessary
  • Repair or replacement of personal property, including your vehicle

It’s worth noting that if you are found to have fault in the accident, you might still be able to file a claim for compensation; however, the amount will be reduced. By working with a Pearland truck accident lawyer, you might be able to build a case that limits your fault, thereby increasing your payout.
