Corpus Christi Trucking Accident Lawyers

Representing Truck Accident Victims in Woodland Spring & West Texas

All drivers on the road are at risk for traffic accident injuries. Accidents involving commercial trucks are among the deadliest of all, especially for the occupants of smaller passenger cars. 

This is due to the size and weight of these vehicles, as 18-wheelers and tankers can cause massive damage to others in a collision. In such accidents, it is generally the occupants of the smaller vehicles who are at risk for severe or catastrophic injuries or death. 

As someone injured in an accident caused by the negligence of others, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries and losses through a personal injury claim. This also applies to employees who drive as part of their work duties, such as oilfield truck drivers. 

If you've been injured, let our truck accident attorney in Corpus Christi, TX, support you. Schedule a free consultation.

Truck Accident Cases in Texas

Truck Accidents Involving Private Citizens

Trucking accidents involving private citizens are much more complicated than other traffic accident cases. Truck drivers are held to a higher standard while sharing the road with others. 

They and the companies they work for are subject to state and federal trucking industry regulations, such as those governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This agency is responsible for reducing accidents, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks.  

Part of the process in any trucking accident is to fully investigate the accident and its causes, including any non-compliance with state and federal regulations on the part of the driver and the trucking company. Trucking companies and their insurers will do everything possible to reduce or deny their responsibility in an accident, including covering up evidence. 

These entities have teams of first responders, adjusters, and lawyers whose sole purpose is to protect themselves against liability and claim payouts. To fight these forces, you need a competent and aggressive team in your corner that has experience combating their tactics. 

Williams Attorneys is a firm that has proven itself to be a worthy opponent against large and powerful corporations in injury claims and lawsuits.
