Truck Accidents
Seat belts offer little assistance when a small car and an 18-wheeler collide, and serious injuries are usually associated with truck accidents. Spinal cord injuries, crush injuries, and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are oftentimes the injuries that follow. Godsey-Martin, P.C. is the Dallas truck accident attorney team that has worked with hundreds of personal injury cases that brought successful compensation for the victim and family, which covered loss of income, medical expenses, vocational rehabilitation and more.
It goes without saying that victims of a Ft. Worth – Dallas truck accident are not always other motorists; rather, the truck driver himself can also be badly injured during a collision due to the fault of another driver or because of his employer’s negligence.
There are many causes for truck accidents that require a person to seek help from our Texas personal injury lawyers. Compensation may be available under state law for truck accidents and wrongful death due to situations caused by
- Failure to properly maintain truck
- Unbalanced load
- Cargo overload
- Driver fatigue
- Unreasonable pressures and deadlines which caused the truck to drive recklessly
- Driver negligence, irresponsible driving or speeding
