Trucking Accident Damages

Have you recently been injured in a trucking accident?  To ensure a full recovery for injuries suffered in a Texas trucking crash, it is important that you and your lawyer identify as many potential defendants as possible.  Often, the truck driver may not be the only one legally responsible for the accident.  Trucking companies, contractors, employers, and insurance companies may be obligated to compensate you for your injuries as well. 

The potential liability of trucking companies, employers, and contractors is a key factor in assessing recovery through insurance coverage, as each of these parties will probably carry separate policies that will apply to the accident.  If you are involved in a trucking accident in Texas where a commercial truck driver was at fault, you may be entitled to receive compensation for any physical, emotional and financial losses that resulted from the semi truck accident. 

By identifying the liability of all parties, you can obtain the best compensation possible for the damages you’ve incurred.  Commercial trucks are required to carry a minimum of $500,000 to $1,000,000 in liability coverage.  There are literally hundreds of trucking companies operating in Texas that may be required to compensate you for your injuries resulting from an eighteen-wheeler accident.

At O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath, our knowledge and experience with Texas trucking accidents will assist you in getting the compensation you deserve for your truck crash injuries.  If you or someone you know have been the victim of an 18-wheeler collision, please contact us immediately to discuss your case.
