The Injuries Sustained in DeSoto, TX Truck Accidents Can Be Catastrophic or Fatal

At 80,000 pounds, a fully loaded semi creates an extremely strong impact force. Passenger vehicle occupants are at a serious disadvantage in a collision, and they frequently sustain severe or catastrophic injuries, such as:

• Crushed limbs
• Organ damage
• Internal bleeding
• Broken bones
• Spinal cord damage
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Amputations

Many victims require surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care. These injuries can lead to lasting disabilities, emotional trauma, and financial hardship. Sometimes, injuries may prove to be fatal, leaving the victim's family without their loved one and causing them to suffer losses as well.

Determining Fault and Liability in Texas Truck Crashes Is Often Challenging

Before you can obtain compensation in most personal injury cases, you need evidence that shows that another party's negligence was directly responsible for your wreck, your injuries, and the related losses.

When two cars collide, it is often relatively straightforward to determine why the collision occurred and who was at fault. With a tractor-trailer, several parties can contribute to causing a crash. The driver may have made errors or acted dangerously, such as by tailgating, driving while fatigued, speeding, or improper merging. If the truck's cargo shifted because it was not balanced or secured properly, the cargo loader could share liability.

Truck owners, maintenance companies, and parts manufacturers could also have contributed to your wreck. It takes a thorough investigation to identify all the liable parties, and most people lack the resources, knowledge, or ability to conduct this type of investigation alone. We will investigate your truck crash for you to make sure you can receive the compensation you deserve.

Recovering Maximum Damages in Your DeSoto Truck Accident Case

Securing compensation after a truck crash can be challenging. It is not as easy as filing a claim and waiting to receive payment. Along with the complexities involved in determining fault and establishing liability, you will likely be up against various strategies used by insurance companies to sabotage your claim and reduce the amount you can receive.

Common damages include:

• Property damage
• Medical and ongoing care expenses
• Lost wages, potentially including diminished earning capacity
• Lost enjoyment of life
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability or disfigurement

Because injuries and the related losses tend to be quite extensive in a truck accident claim, the insurance company or companies will probably fight harder against paying your claim. The company's team of lawyers can be intimidating if you face them alone. With Attorney Jerry Andrews as your legal advocate, you do not have to. We will be by your side during the entire process.

We can try to convince insurers to pay your claim fairly, but they may not cooperate. We are fully prepared to take your case to trial if that is what it takes to secure the highest amount of compensation available for you.
