Truck accident Lawyer in Dallas & Fort Worth Fighting for Truck Injury Victims Injured by Negligent Truck Drivers.

1. Unique questioning techniques.

We have developed a unique set of specific questions for drivers, witnesses, law enforcement, safety directors, dispatch personnel and hiring personnel from the trucking company. These questions help develop your truck accident claim into a much better case. These questions took over four decades to develop.

2. Rapid Scene Investigation.

Insurance companies for motor carriers send an immediate team of defense lawyers, adjusters, and safety people to the scene of the accident within 1 to 2 hours of the crash. This means you need a Dallas truck accident lawyer the same day so that our team can investigate the cause of the accident.

3. Investigation and reconstruction.

Trucking cases require that you prove fault of the truck driver and their trucking company. We use highly trained reconstruction experts that help us prove the truck driver and their trucking company are at fault.

4. Destruction of evidence.

Insurance investigators have been known to change, alter or destroy scene evidence to make it appear the other vehicle is at fault. They destroy driver's logs, trip documents, maintenance records and hide and conceal any evidence making them liable. We use spoliation letters to prevent the destruction of critical evidence.

5. Trucking industry training and safety manuals.

Our Texas truck accident attorneys have our own library of the trucking industry training manuals and safety manuals so we can make our own root cause analysis of preventability of the accident. By having studied their required safety protocols we can prove negligence, reckless conduct and prove why punitive damages are required.

6. Background investigations.

We use multiple procedures to investigate the truck driver and motor carrier background, safety record and crash history getting their entire motor carrier file from the DOT and FMCSA. (This helps us prove a pattern of unsafe and reckless behavior on the part of the trucking company and their drivers.

7. Safety Certification and OP-1 Oath.

We use the OP-1 oath and safety certification to show that the DOT should not have given the trucking company a DOT license because they are an unsafe motor carrier. We learn if they are complying with the CSA BASICs and its 7 behavioral categories of safety.

8. Post-accident investigations.

Our Fort Worth trucking lawyers use discovery to determine whether the trucking company did a preventability analysis to study the reason their truck driver crashed into another motor vehicle. Defense lawyers try to conceal this critical evidence under the guise of attorney client direction. We know how to obtain this important evidence.

9. Black boxes and ECM Modules.

Electronic Control Modules (ECM) are required to be in all tractor-trailers manufactured after 2000. These are commonly referred to as black boxes and store critical data on the driver's reactions, speed, braking and other maneuvers immediately prior to an accident.

10. Medical and vocational experts.

Our DFW truck injury lawyers have a network of medical doctors and specialists to help provide medical treatment for your type of injury and write medical reports to help establish that the truck accident caused your injuries, evaluate your future medical needs and prove why you cannot return to your former employment.

1. Whiplash and strain or sprain injuries.

Even a small accident with a tractor-trailer can cause severe whiplash and strain and sprain injuries because of the greater weight of the semi-truck that can weigh up to 80,000 pounds compared to passenger cars weighing only 5,000 pounds. These injuries can last for a year or longer and some last a lifetime.

2. Shoulder injuries.

The great difference in weight of semi-trucks leaves cars and pickups heavily damaged after impact. The occupants suffer shoulder injuries frequently. Shoulder injuries to the rotator cuff, brachial plexus nerve branch, clavicle and scapula usually require extensive surgery.

3. Amputation Injuries.

The force of an impact with a tractor-trailer can easily cause a passenger in a regular vehicle to lose a limb like a hand, foot, leg, or arm. When this happens lifelong medical treatment, prosthetics and therapy become necessary.

4. Knee injuries.

Knee injuries happen from crush injuries to the passenger compartment. Knees can also be injured by the dashboard. These injuries often create meniscal tears, ACL and PCL tears, patella fractures and other significant damage that normally requires surgery to repair.

5. Back and neck injuries.

When a heavier semi-truck or other large truck strikes the smaller motor vehicle it can cause damage to the back and neck including, vertebrae, discs, and ligaments. Severe back and neck injuries require epidurals, physical therapy, surgeries, and radiofrequency ablations.

6. Traumatic brain injuries.

Truck accidents can cause head injuries from a brain bleed or fractured skull to concussions and traumatic brain injuries. Most are lifelong medical problems that stop a person from normal functioning in life.

7. Spinal Cord Injuries.

Spinal cord injuries often lead to paralysis of part or all of the body and are life disabling creating a need for medical care over an entire lifetime.

8. Internal injuries.

Internal injuries are common with big rig accidents. Organ damage happens from the crush of the large truck into the smaller vehicle. Most are life threatening injuries that require surgeries and hospitalization.

9. Quadriplegia and Paraplegia.

People in cars or other motor vehicles colliding with a large truck can cause such severe damage to the spine that paralysis to part of the body (paraplegia) or paralysis from the neck down (quadriplegia) happen often enough that the likelihood of these injuries is great.

10. Wrongful Death.

Internal injuries, fractures, infection, and injuries from the force of the impact from a large truck can result in death to the occupants creating a tremendous loss to the remaining family members and spouse.
