Texas 18-wheeler accidents: Why you need an attorney
Texas 18-wheeler accidents present unique legal challenges, making them much more complicated matters than the typical passenger vehicle accident. The amount of damages and the extent of the injuries sustained in 18-wheeler accidents far exceed that of the typical Texas car accident. That means the stakes are higher for the insurance companies, particularly for the commercial insurance carrier that holds the 18-wheeler’s policy.
Not only does the victim of a Texas 18-wheeler accident have to contend with the trucking company’s insurance company, they have to deal with the trucking company’s expansive team of in-house lawyers and investigators as well. Trucking companies are typically large, nationwide corporations with extensive resources at their disposal.
Yet another way that 18-wheeler accidents differ from other Texas car accidents is the laws involved. In addition to Texas traffic laws, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Rules and Regulations, which govern 18-wheelers and their drivers, may also come into play.
These are just a few of the reasons why the victims of 18-wheeler accidents need an experienced Texas personal injury lawyer on their side.
