_______________________________________________________________ Texas Truck Accident
Lawyer and Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawsuits
Truck and other commercial vehicle
accidents can result in fatal passenger accidents,
catastrophic injuries, and significant damages to families.
It is therefore important for businesses to make sure that
their company vehicles, especially, large commercial
vehicles are driven by experienced and well trained drivers
that do not have histories of reckless and unsafe driving,
DWI accidents,
fatal accidents,
drinking & driving, or driving under the influence.

suit or truck accident law suit by a Texas

Please include the date of the accident, location of the
commercial vehicle
accident, your name, the names of the persons in the
accidents, any injuries suffered, and a brief
description of how the commercial vehicle accident occurred.
Drivers of Commercial
Vehicles including Trucks, Vans, Buses, Taxi Cabs, and
Company Automobiles are
Causing Fatal Accidents and Catastrophic Injury Accidents
According to the National Center for
Statistics and Analysis, thousands of motorists are killed
each year by commercial vehicles including large trucks,
specialized van, modified trucks, specialized SUVs, and
company cars. These commercial vehicles are
too often driven by under trained, inexperienced, and over
worked drivers that are under pressure to drive fast as well
as keep maintenance costs down. These factors combined
with distractions in the vehicles including cell phones, GPS devices,
computers, paper work, radio communications, and other
employees can cause
fatal automobile
accidents.
Whether a company driver is driving a large
commercial vehicle such as a
bus, passenger
van, 18-wheeler, dump truck, propane truck, garbage truck,
construction truck, semi-trucks, tractor-trailer, utility
truck, hauling truck, or
semi, or smaller commercial vehicles such as an SUV,
passenger vehicle, limo, or
taxi cab, it
is important that the driver be trained to operate the
commercial vehicle and have their driving record reviewed.
Unfortunately, some businesses neither train their drivers
nor do a proper investigation to determine if the drivers
that they are entrusting their commercial vehicles have a
history of reckless driving, have caused several accidents,
have DWI accidents in their past, have a history of driving
drunk or under the influence of drugs, or have no experience
driving the vehicles that they are given. These
factors can lead to negligent entrustment that causes an
accident or collisions resulting in serious injuries,
catastrophic injuries, or even death.
Texas Commercial
Vehicle Accident Lawsuits
Texas Commercial Vehicle Accident
Lawsuits are typically against businesses that have
negligently entrusted a careless or drunk driver to use a
company vehicle and that driver causes a serious wreck or
crash. These commercial vehicle lawsuits
commonly are vigorously defended by the business and their
insurance company despite the fault of their driver that
caused the collision or accident.
In investigating a potential commercial
vehicle accident lawsuit against a business or their
insurance company, it is often important to obtain a
Texas Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyer that is familiar with these
lawsuits. The commercial vehicle collision lawyer
should know how to gather evidence regarding the commercial
vehicle crash and make sure that those injured
in the accident, those that have lost loved ones in the
accident, and crucial witnesses to the accident are not tricked by an insurance adjuster when they
are on medication, grieving, or not expecting contact.

Vehicle Accident Lawyer familiar with insurance adjusters
and insurance tricks, Jason Coomer, has helped many families
through Texas commercial vehicle collision lawsuits that have
catastrophically injured a family member or has resulted in
the death of a loved one. He provides protection from
insurance adjuster tricks and helps families obtain
compensation for the damages that they have suffered.
Texas Truck
Accident Lawsuits
Since trucking deregulation in Texas and the passage of
NAFTA, you can see many several ton large trucks barreling
up and down Texas highways including I-35, I-10, I-20, and
other interstate highways. These trucks come from
Mexico, Canada, Texas, and several other states carrying large loads and
traveling at high rates of speed. Many of the large
trucks are owned by large Texas Trucking Companies, Mexican
Trucking Companies, and other large commercial trucking
companies.
Large commercial trucks account for about
10 percent of all fatal vehicle accidents in the United
States. Almost 10% of fatal trucking accidents in the United
States occurred in the state of Texas on Texas roads.
Truck accidents have an increased chance of causing
serious injuries and death because in most cases, a truck
cannot remain upright during an accident. Additionally,
because of the size and weight of commercial trucks, truck
drivers have limited visibility and maneuverability as well
as limited control of their vehicle. This makes it easier
to lose control and crush other vehicles. These
factors greatly contribute to the damage done to passenger
vehicles in trucking accidents. Whether the truck driver is
distracted, falls asleep at the wheel or just isn't paying
attention, accidents caused by large commercial vehicles
kill or catastrophically injure thousands of motorists each
year.
Truck drivers and the trucking companies they work
for have a duty to operate their vehicles in a safe manner,
but unfortunately sometimes saving money on maintenance,
training, or staff as well as making more money by speeding
to make deadlines are more important to trucking companies
and truck drivers. Unsafe driving, oversized or unsecured
loads, and various other careless factors put the public and
the truck operators in danger. Some of these factors
include:
-
The driver rushing to meet a tight
delivery deadline
-
The driver is on drugs or has been
drinking
-
The driver is fatigued and tired due
to driving for long periods
-
The driver is stressed and not paying
attention to other drivers
-
Difficult to see blind spots from a
large truck
-
The driver does not leave enough
space between vehicles
-
Improper truck maintenance
-
Improper securing of loads
-
Under trained drivers
-
Mechanical failure and defective
components
-
Overloading of the truck
Unfortunately, with large
trucks driving
on Texas roads and highways comes the potential of
catastrophic damages. Untrained, overworked, or
inexperienced drivers all too often lose control of their
vehicles causing them to jackknife, overturn, or collide
with passenger vehicles. Many of these truck drivers are
overworked, on caffeine or other drugs, and running behind
schedule. This is extremely problematic when these
drivers are driving vehicles that weigh many tons and
collide with smaller vehicles. When this
happens it is typically the passengers of the smaller
vehicle that suffer. If you or a loved one have been
ran over by a truck, had a large truck hit you, or collide
with your vehicle, it is important to obtain excellent
legal representation from a
Texas truck accident lawyer to protect you or your loved one's
rights and to make sure that an investigation as to the
cause of the collision in done correctly.

think that if you have suffered serious injuries in an truck
collision or other commercial vehicle crash that the insurance industry will take care of you
or voluntarily pay you for all the medical bills, lost
wages, pain & suffering, impairment, disfigurement, and
other damages that you have suffered. They
probably won't. In fact, many insurance adjusters will
offer low settlement amounts hoping that you will sign away
your claim prior to knowing the full extent of your damages.
Texas Truck Accident Lawyer and Commercial Vehicle Accident Claims
The trucking industry is a
multi-billion dollar industry that is essential to our
economy, but since the deregulation of trucking in Texas and
NAFTA have come many truck accidents including many traffic
deaths and serious injuries. Unfortunately, with large

catastrophic damages. Untrained, overworked, or
inexperienced drivers all too often lose control of their
vehicles causing them to jackknife, overturn, or collide
