Many of the cases our Texas Truck Accident Lawyers handle are wrecks caused by 18-wheelers, tractor trailers and other commercial vehicles. If you or a family member have been injured in an accident with a large truck, you need to consult with an attorney. Every tractor-trailer wreck that causes personal injury or death will involve federal motor carrier regulations. Those regulations apply if a commercial motor vehicle has a gross weight rating that exceeds 26,001 pounds. The regulations apply to both the truck driver and the trucking company. You need to consult with an attorney who is knowledgeable about those regulations to evaluate the potential violations. Learn more about what our Texas Truck Accident Lawyers can do for you by calling (972)433-6113. We are available 24/7 via phone chat, text message or the contact forms on this website.
Serious commercial vehicle cases demand fast investigation and the right strategy.
In this case an expert accident reconstructionist used physics and computer models to reconstruct how the wreck occurred. This evidence can be crucial in overcoming allegations of speeding.

We pursue accountability and full damages after devastating motorcycle injuries.
Our Texas Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers have a long history of aggressively handling claims against drunk drivers. Our lawyers know that drunk drivers who cause accidents are exposed to large personal injury verdicts. We use that fact as leverage against the drunk driver and their insurance company.
Our DUI accident lawyers see punitive damages as a hammer to be used to make the drunk driver and their insurance company pay for the victim’s injuries. Juries in Texas have returned substantial verdicts against drunk drivers in personal injury cases, including punitive damages that exceed millions of dollars.

We pursue claims against intoxicated drivers and, when supported by evidence, responsible businesses.
In 2021 there were over 5,366 crashes which involved pedestrians in the state of Texas. Many of these pedestrians had the right of way. Pedestrians have the right to occupy a lane of travel when they are using the public road and complying with the Texas Transportation Code. Even if a pedestrian has the right of way, they don’t have the advantage of an airbag, seatbelt, or bumper. Our lawyers know that when a pedestrian is hit by a car there is a substantial likelihood of catastrophic injury or death.
Our Texas pedestrian accident attorneys find the main cause of car vs. pedestrian accidents are (1) driver inattention, (2) driver’s failing to yield the right of way, and (3) speeding. We have handled several cases where the driver fled the scene. Our personal injury lawyers will aggressively investigate and pursue pedestrian death or injury cases.
We encourage you to call us if you, or someone you love, has been injured or killed as a pedestrian. Even if you are unsure about who had the right of way, call and allow our personal injury attorneys to talk to you about the potential claim. We have resolved several cases to our client’s satisfaction where the pedestrian was on drugs, walking in a lane without the right of way, or walking at night in dark clothing.

We investigate quickly and build strong liability and damages proof.
How do your attorneys help people with uninsured motorist claims?
First, most people are surprised when their own insurance company treats them poorly when they make an uninsured motorist claim for injuries. Here’s why they treat you bad – your underinsured motorist coverage only pays for what you are “legally entitled to recover” from the at-fault driver. This means that all the defenses which were available to the at fault driver may now be asserted against you by your own insurance company. We can help to prepare you for these defenses.
Second, under current Texas law you can recover your attorney fees if your underinsured motorist claim is handled by an attorney. Recovering attorney’s fees in personal injury claims for uninsured motorist cases is a complicated topic, but it is quite possible.

What types of Injuries Can be Caused By Premises Defects?
Our attorneys have handled premises liability cases where clients broke their arms or legs or suffered severe hand lacerations. People can suffer severe injuries in slip and fall type accidents. Our law firm represented several different clients who all slipped and fell at the same Long John Silver’s restaurant. That restaurant had a ramp that was not built to code and was too steep. If rained or there was any liquid on the ramp, people would slip and fall. One lady broke her elbow when she slipped on the ramp. After two lawsuits, the restaurant demolished the ramp and rebuilt it to code.
What Type of Condition Gives Rise to a Premises Liability Claim in Texas?
The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that the condition must pose an unreasonable risk of harm. The defect on the premises must be such that a reasonable person could foresee the danger that the condition would cause injury. An example is an enamel painted poolside surface that becomes very slick when wet. There are defenses. For instance, a condition that is openly obvious to anyone paying attention is generally not unreasonable. In addition, a condition generally does not pose an unreasonable risk if there is warning sign telling people of the danger.
We handle injuries caused by unsafe property conditions.
We work on a contingency fee basis in injury cases, which means you do not pay upfront, and attorney fees are typically paid from recovery.
It is often helpful to get legal guidance early so you do not miss important steps like preserving evidence or documenting injuries.
Our team handles car and truck crashes, motorcycle wrecks, drunk driving claims, pedestrian injuries, wrongful death, uninsured motorist claims, and other serious injury cases.
