Truck drivers have tough jobs, but when they get behind the wheel of their 18-wheelers, they take responsibility for keeping everyone else on the road with them safe. When they fail, and you are the victim, you may have serious injuries that will impact your future as well as ongoing financial loss. At The Doan Law Firm, our Dallas truck accident lawyer forces truck drivers and trucking companies to be accountable for the damages they cause to you.
Texas Truck Accidents Happen Throughout the State with Devastating Results
Dallas is a hub for many manufacturing companies, cargo companies, and dozens of trucking firms, all of which operate up and down I-20, I-35, and I-30 throughout the day. In the city, including throughout the Metro Dallas area, trucks are moving from freeways to roadways to deliver goods and products, and as they do, they put other drivers at risk. Many people suffer serious injuries and losses from preventable accidents. The Texas truck accident attorneys at The Doan Law Firm work tirelessly to ensure negligent truckers are held accountable for the injuries, property damage, and loss of life that they cause.
The most devastating is the loss of life, which occurs in Texas at the highest rate of all other states. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shares that in 2022, 810 people died in accidents related to truck accidents, which includes not just truck drivers but other drivers, pedestrians, passengers, and cyclists. For those who die in these accidents, families can trust our truck accident wrongful death attorneys to provide exceptional legal guidance through this incredibly challenging time.
For thousands of others, the injuries from these accidents can change the course of your life. You may have catastrophic injuries, such as those resulting in paralysis, loss of sight or hearing, or amputations. Others will recover, but it may take a long time, with serious pain and suffering a core component of your outcome.
How Our Truck Accident Lawyers in Dallas Fight for You
Truck accidents can be intensely challenging to seek a claim against for multiple reasons. At the heart of this is that Dallas drivers often face high-powered and aggressive insurance adjusters who work very hard to minimize any compensation paid to victims. Our Dallas truck accident lawyers have numerous ways to help you through these challenges.
- We gather the hard evidence. Commercial truck logs, video and photos of the accident, witness statements, and accident reconstruction help us to find out who was to blame and why.
- Our attorneys go after the trucking companies. Some accidents are the fault of not just the driver behind the wheel but also the trucking company that failed to train them or the owner of the vehicle who did not maintain it.
- Experience matters in the courtroom. Some of the most serious truck accident cases may end up in a trial. With our years of experience working trials and fighting passionately for our clients, you can expect us to pursue full compensation in your case.
Devastation from truck accidents is, unfortunately, common, and when your life and future are on the line because of a truck driver’s negligence, you deserve an advocate who will fight tirelessly to protect your future. Our experience includes recovering millions of dollars in losses for our clients. It starts with a free consultation to discuss your case with you without any risk.
We Operate on a Contingency Fee Basis
One of the most important factors for accident victims to know is that they do not have to go through this legal process without an attorney. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means we do not charge you anything as we fight your case, and if we do not win your case for any reason, you do not pay any of our attorney fees. This gives you the confidence you need to seek out an attorney who can guide you.
Determining Who Is Responsible for Your Truck Accident
With our investigative team working for you, we gather all of the data available to determine what occurred and who is at fault. That is critical because the party at fault, even if it is more than one of them, must pay for your losses. Examples of those who may be responsible for your injuries include:
- The truck driver: The driver holds responsibility when they engage in reckless behaviors like speeding, intoxication behind the wheel, or tailgating.
- Truck company: Truck companies may be responsible for victims’ injuries in situations where the truck was not maintained or when they knew there was a risk to the driver and they failed to take action to prevent outcomes.
- The manufacturer: There are many manufacturing companies that make components for trucks. If a component fails, causing your accident, those manufacturers could be responsible.
- The cargo loading company: In situations where cargo comes loose or shifts, causing the driver to lose control, the company that loaded that cargo could be responsible.
- Maintenance teams: Many companies use specialized services to handle maintenance and repairs to trucks. If that team made a mistake, they could be held accountable for your losses.
In all truck accident cases, we need evidence to substantiate any claims we make, and our Dallas truck accident lawyer has the ability to do that. You may not be told what caused the accident, and you may not know what the driver was doing to behave in such a way. Yet, with the help of our legal team, we will investigate what occurred, gather key information from you and the other parties, and then build a robust case to hold the at-fault party responsible.
