This site covers truck crashes in depth; the firm’s other practice areas are described on lawboss.com.

Truck and 18-wheeler accidents

Crashes with tractor-trailers, box trucks, delivery trucks, dump trucks, tank trucks and other commercial vehicles. These cases involve the federal motor carrier safety rules, more than one responsible company and records that must be secured early. The pages of this site go into each part:

• Truck accident lawyer San Antonio: how a case is handled, from the preservation letter to the claim
• 18 wheeler accident lawyer San Antonio: crash types and equipment rules
• Truck accident attorney San Antonio: every party that can be responsible
• Truck wreck lawyer San Antonio: the freight corridors and local crash figures
• Trucking accident lawyer San Antonio: the federal rules part by part
• Texas truck accident laws: the Texas statutes that shape a claim

Other vehicle crashes

• Car accidents: collisions between passenger vehicles, including claims under the other driver’s liability policy and your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.
• Motorcycle accidents: crashes in which riders are hurt, where questions of fault and helmet use often come up.
• Drunk driver accidents: crashes caused by impaired drivers, where Texas law allows exemplary damages on clear and convincing evidence of gross negligence.

Wrongful death

Claims brought by the surviving spouse, children and parents of a person killed by someone else’s wrongful act or negligence, under Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 71.004, and the estate’s survival claim under section 71.021.

Injuries on property and from animals

• Premises liability and slip and fall: injuries caused by dangerous conditions on someone else’s property.
• Dog bites: injuries from dog attacks.

Workplace and catastrophic injuries

• Workplace injuries: injuries at work, including those caused by people other than the employer, such as a truck crash while on the job.
• Catastrophic injuries: spinal cord and back injuries, traumatic brain injuries, paralysis and severe burns, which often follow truck crashes.

Truck crashes often overlap with these areas. A crash on the job can involve both a workplace injury and a claim against the trucking company. A crash that kills someone becomes a wrongful death claim. A crash that causes a brain or spinal cord injury needs a long view of medical care. We look at every part of what happened, not only the collision.

Fees

The consultation is free. The firm takes injury cases on a contingency fee. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney’s fee and no case costs; the firm advances the costs of investigating and pursuing the claim. The percentage and how advanced costs are handled when there is a recovery are set out in the written fee agreement before you sign.
