Trucking Accidents and Wrongful Death

As a Fort Worth personal injury law firm with extensive experience in trucking accidents, including our team's unique background in insurance defense and claims adjustment, We can provide critical insight into your rights after a trucking accident.

When you're involved in an accident with a commercial truck that wasn't your fault, you have the right to seek compensation not only for your immediate injuries but also for long-term medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in tragic cases involving wrongful death, compensation for surviving family members.

Commercial trucking companies and their drivers are held to strict standards under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. These regulations include:

  • Mandatory rest periods and strict limits on driving hours

  • Regular drug and alcohol testing

  • Thorough vehicle maintenance and inspection requirements

  • Specific training and licensing requirements

  • Detailed record-keeping of driver logs, maintenance records, and safety inspections

After a trucking accident, these heightened requirements work in your favor. We can demand immediate access to:

  • Electronic logging devices (ELDs) that track driving hours

  • Driver qualification files

  • Maintenance and inspection records

  • Drug and alcohol screening results

  • Black box data showing speed, braking, and other critical information

  • Driver communication records

  • Company safety policies and training procedures

Time is crucial in these cases. Trucking companies often have rapid response teams ready to protect their interests immediately after an accident. Having experienced attorneys who understand both the trucking industry and insurance company tactics is essential to protect your rights and preserve vital evidence.

In cases of wrongful death, we understand that no amount of compensation can replace your loved one. However, we work diligently to hold negligent parties accountable and secure the financial future of surviving family members through wrongful death claims that can include compensation for:

  • Loss of financial support

  • Loss of companionship

  • Final medical expenses

  • Funeral and burial costs

  • Mental anguish and emotional suffering

With our team's unique background in insurance defense and claims adjustment, we know exactly what evidence to look for and how to build the strongest possible case for our clients. Let us put our experience to work for you during this difficult time.
