In order to win a personal injury lawsuit against the driver of the 18-wheeler and/or the company for which the driver works, it is necessary to prove that the other party was at fault for the accident. Proving fault depends on a careful and thorough investigation of the facts surrounding your 18-wheeler accident.

Your lawyer will take all necessary steps to obtain the critical evidence related to your 18-wheeler accident. Evidence of fault in an 18-wheeler accident case may include:

·         The driver’s safety record and driving record

·         Documentation related to the driver’s qualifications and training

·         Trucking logs

·         Police reports

·         The trucking company’s safety record

·         Maintenance records

·         GPS or black box recorder data 

·         Documentation of any mechanical defects with the truck

·         Witness statements

·         Photographs of the scene of the accident

·         Receipts from restaurants and fueling stations

·         Cellphone records

If you have been involved in an accident with an 18-wheeler, you should speak with a lawyer as soon as possible. You will likely be contacted by the trucking company’s lawyers, insurance company and/or accident investigators shortly after the accident. It is important that you not make any statements or sign any releases.

The goal of the trucking company is to minimize the amount of damages they have to pay you and to minimize the amount of fault assigned to their driver. A Texas personal injury lawyer will deal with the trucking company’s massive legal team for you to ensure that your rights are fully protected and you are not strong armed into settling for less than your claim is worth.

Zille and a passenger were traveling in a 2007 Chevy Impala when they pulled out onto U.S. 84 in the direct path of an oncoming 18-wheeler.

The victim killed in the crash was Zille’s passenger, Lizette Sandoval, also 15. Zille was flown to University Medical center. His current condition has not been released.

Sadly, car accidents involving 18-wheelers all too often end in fatalities. Tractor trailers are simply bigger and more powerful than the average motor vehicle, which leads to serious injuries and sometimes even death for the person or persons riding in the car.
