On any given day, you may share the road with 18-wheeler trucks (commercial trucks, typically carrying cargo). Although they are trained to follow very strict rules and regulations for safety, they often fail, leading to serious accidents.

The trucking industry is subject to countless regulations and laws-- and our knowledgeable attorneys know how to determine who is at fault in the wake of these devastating accidents.

Common Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents

There are a lot of different factors involved with trucking accidents and proving who was at fault can often be difficult. It is important to understand that large trucking companies likely have a strong defense on their side, which is why retaining representation is essential. We are willing to go up against even the largest corporations and trucking companies to ensure you have the best chance of recovering maximum compensation.

A few of the most common causes of truck accidents include:

• Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo leading to rollover
• Jackknife accidents occurring as a result of trailer malfunction
• Brake, tire, or equipment failure
• Driver inattention
• Drunk or drugged driver
• Improper lane changes
• Hazardous conditions

Recovering Damages for Physical Pain & Suffering

With so many different types of vehicles on the road and varying road conditions and weather conditions, minor accidents are almost inevitable. However, accidents involving large trucks can leave the driver or passengers of other vehicles with life-altering injuries. People in smaller vehicles nearly always suffer significant damage or catastrophic injuries as a result of truck accidents.

If the insurance company or trucking company attempt to offer you a small settlement, ask to consult with an attorney. Our San Antonio personal injury lawyer is here to make sure you get the most out of your case.
