Helping You Find Closure After A Trucking Accident

Truck accidents are devastating and overwhelming. Medical bills, grief, injuries and even a trucking company’s aggressive insurance provider can make finding closure almost impossible without a strong truck accident lawyer in your corner. At the Jim Ross Law Group, we understand what you’re up against. That’s why we represent our clients in a diligent pursuit of the truth — to set wrongs right, and restore your damages under the law.

It’s far too common that the cause of a trucking accident rests with the trucking company itself. Many commercial trucking companies neglect their responsibility to those they share the roads with. In the pursuit of a larger profit, they put everyone in danger by cutting costs, ignoring safety measures and breaking the law.

The trucking accident injury attorneys at The Jim Ross Law Group investigate the cause of trucking accidents to hold unscrupulous trucking companies responsible and restore our client’s damages. There is no cost unless we’re successful. If you’ve been injured in a trucking accident in Texas, call our Fort Worth truck accident attorneys at 817-275-4100 to schedule a free consultation.

Common Causes Of Truck Accidents In Texas

Trucks operated by negligent trucking companies are simply accidents waiting to happen. An unsafe truck on our Texas roads is a huge and dangerous machine sharing the road with much smaller and vulnerable vehicles. There are many common truck accident causes in which a trucking company is at fault.

Unsafe Load – The truck might have been overloaded beyond the federally mandated weight limits for truck cargo. Overloading can turn a truck into an unbalanced and uncontrollable force.

Driver Fatigue And Speeding – Trucking companies may demand that their operators (truck drivers) break the law, putting everyone in danger. This could mean exceeding the speed limit to make the next delivery on time, or driving without the rest as required by law.

Truck Maintenance – Due to the sheer size of a truck, trucking companies are responsible for a higher standard of maintenance than personal vehicles. If one component of a truck’s maintenance goes overlooked, it can cause a devastating truck accident.

Truck Equipment – Sometimes the cause of a truck accident is due to failure of a certain aspect of truck equipment. Tire, brake or transmission failure may suggest negligence on the part of the equipment manufacturer.

Is the trucking company, truck owner, operator or equipment manufacturer at fault? After a devastating accident, each of these parties may begin pointing fingers at each other as a stall tactic until evidence of the accident’s cause has disappeared.
