Texas Truck Accident Lawsuits

San Antonio, Texas Personal Injury Lawyer

While truck accidents and car accidents seem to be similar, the way a truck accident case is investigated is much different. That's because interstate trucks and tractor trailers are subject to a different, and much more stringent set of federal laws.

Working with an injury attorney who has experience handling truck accident cases can be helpful in getting a thorough review of your case and a positive outcome.

At The Cartall Law Firm, PLLC, we have 20 years of experience representing injured people across central Texas in truck accident cases.

Get Immediate Attention to Your Case

It's important to get an investigator on your truck accident case as soon as possible after the accident. The accident scene gets cleaned up, evidence begins to disappear, even log books can be changed.

At the Cartall Law Firm, we work with seasoned trucking accident investigators in Beaumont, Amarillo, and El Paso to ensure that no evidence is missing when your case must be proven to an insurance company or a jury.

Common Causes for Truck Accidents

Drivers, equipment, and road conditions: each of these three factors can contribute to a truck accident.

• Drivers: Driver fatigue, lack of training, negligence, even driver drug or alcohol use can be the cause of trucking accidents. Trucking companies do not always use good judgment in hiring or supervising drivers; when they make serious mistakes that cost lives, the company needs to pay.
• Equipment: Trucks need to be regularly maintained and inspected to ensure their safety. Beyond that, they need to be operated properly. Even safe brakes can fail if the truck is overloaded and needs to negotiate a steep grade or stop. And even a truck that is within its cargo weigh limit can be involved in a jacknife if the cargo isn't secured correctly.
• Road conditions: Sometimes road construction can contribute to accidents if the construction site is not properly designed or marked.
