TRUCK AND 18-WHEELER ACCIDENT

 

GARLAND TRUCK AND 18-WHEELER ACCIDENT LAWYER

18-WHEELER AND TRUCK INJURY ATTORNEY GARLAND

One of the most dangerous vehicles that are regularly on the road today are trucks and 18-wheelers. Because of their huge sizes, they ensure that the damages that will result from truck accidents would be enormous. Each year, around half a million accidents involving trucks are recorded resulting to 5000 deaths and more than 100,000 injuries. Majority of the accidents resulted from a combination of factors that include driver negligence and performance limitations of the vehicle such as acceleration, visibility, tire failure due to worn or faulty parts, overloading, improperly mounted or inflated tires and braking. The truck driver’s disregard of these limitations resulted to many of the recorded mishaps.

Victims of trucks accidents usually suffer serious damages even from comparatively low impact incidents, resulting to loss of income, pain and suffering and a huge amount of medical expenses. In spite of these, trucking companies would usually offer minimum compensations to accident victims. If you have been a victim of a truck accident, you should consider the services of a Garland truck accident lawyer before signing anything. In Garland, contacting Attorney Mike Goolsby would ensure that you would be able to find your way through the intricate legal issues following a serious mishap. Although he and other truck accident lawyers at The Goolsby Law Firm have been trained and licensed in all areas of the law, they will focus on tort law, which include economic and non-economic damages to your reputation, rights and property as well as civil wrongs.

Starting your claim involves determining how the accident occurred and who were guilty. This will allow you to know which one should be charged. In many 18-wheeler accidents, there are several parties that may be fully or partially involved. This is because there are various individuals and companies that are concerned in the loading and transportation of goods through trucks. In the process, any of the several people involved may have done something wrong, which caused the accident. Only an experienced truck accident lawyer like Mike Goolsby would be able to sort through the mess and come out with the responsible party. Parties that may be liable include, but are not limited to the following:

• The truck driver
• The trucking company
• The company that oversee the loading of the truck
• The company that charted the route of the truck
• The truck or trailer manufacturer
• Other third parties

Court cases on 18-wheeler accidents try to resolve two vital issues: to allow you to recover from economic losses arising from the accident and to punish the negligent party or parties. Although there is nothing that will remove the memory and damages caused by the accident, you have sustained substantial financial losses and recovering them is the only way of letting you and your family enjoy the rest of your lives. The hospital expenses that you may have incurred as well as the repair cost for your car could add up to a huge amount. There is also the issue on lost wages because of your recovery. Let the personal injury attorneys at The Goolsby Law Firm help you recover from your financial losses. Call one of their truck accident lawyers now to discuss your case.
