Truck Accident Lawyers Ready To Fight for You
A rear-end truck accident may happen due to:
- Following too closely – Large commercial trucks require more space before coming to full and complete stop. A driver who follows another car too closely may not be able to stop in time to prevent a crash.
- Speeding – The faster a truck is going, the harder it is to control. Drivers who exceed the speed limit can’t stop a truck safely if traffic conditions change on the road.
- Distracted driving – Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone or adjusting dashboard controls take their eyes off the road and don’t see traffic conditions changing.
- Fatigued driving – Drivers who exceed hours of service (HOS) regulations may be fatigued, resulting in poor decision-making and slowed reaction times.
- Defective or poorly maintained brakes – A trucking company may have failed to properly repair or maintain the truck, leaving the driver unable to prevent a crash.
Whatever caused the rear-end truck accident, your life can change in an instant. You can be seriously injured and require medical treatment. Medical expenses can add up quickly and become overwhelming. If you can’t work because of your injury, there is less money coming in. You can be left in a difficult situation – physically and financially.
Even if it’s clear that a truck crashed into your vehicle from behind, recovering financial compensation can be complicated. Truck drivers and trucking companies may deny doing anything wrong and refuse to accept responsibility. Insurance companies will try to limit your compensation and may even blame you for the accident.

What if I can’t come to your office?
That’s not a problem. We understand that an accident may have left you injured and that traveling may be difficult or impossible. We care about your well-being and comfort. So if you can’t come to our office, we will come to you. One of our lawyers can meet you at your home, in your hospital room or anywhere else that is convenient.
We’ll review the details of your case and ask you some questions. Then we can review your legal options and give you an idea about what to expect. We can also answer any questions that you have about your case.
-
How long will it take to resolve my case?
It depends on many factors, such as the complexity of your case and how much money is at stake. In general, a case may take anywhere between a few months to a year. If your case goes to trial, it can take even longer.
Insurance companies try to delay the resolution of a case as long as possible. They don’t want to pay you the compensation you deserve. They are hoping that the longer they delay your case, the more likely it will be that you will give up or accept a lower settlement offer. We will guide you through the process every step of the way.
-
Should I accept a settlement offer from the insurance company?
Soon after your accident, you may be contacted by the insurance company. They are offering you a settlement! It may not be for as much as you were hoping, but they are promising quick payment. This offer will fall far short of covering the damages you have suffered. The insurance company just wants to save money.
You should never agree to any settlement unless you have first discussed the offer with an experienced Texas personal injury lawyer. You can get a much better settlement when an insurance company knows you have a personal injury attorney willing to go to trial on your behalf.
