Fueled by the increase in drilling for oil and natural gas, the United
States has experienced a significant increase in commercial truck traffic
in recent years. One of the consequences of this increase is a rise in
the number of accidents involving these large vehicles. Whether you are
the victim of a truck accident in Los Angeles, Miami, in a metropolitan
area in Dallas or at a rural intersection, you will need the assistance
of a personal injury attorney to assure that you receive the financial
compensation to which you are probably entitled. This type of help is
available from the Doan Law Firm.
The Risks Posed by Large Trucks
According to U.S. government figures, truck accidents in this country have
increased by some 10 percent in the past two decades. Approximately half
a million truck accidents occur on American roads and highways every year,
and about 5,000 of these wrecks result in at least one fatality. Nearly
70 percent of all fatal accidents occur in rural areas, and two-thirds
of them take place in evening or early morning darkness.
Whether it be on an interstate highway or in Austin, El Paso, Houston or
some other urban area, commercial trucks present a particular hazard to
smaller vehicles and their occupants. In collisions between large trucks
and automobiles or light trucks, the occupants of the smaller vehicle
are three times more likely to be injured and four times more likely to
be killed than those in the big rig.
The Responsibility for an Accident
Despite federal and state regulations that are designed to enhance safety,
lapses often occur in trucking operations. Some vehicles are driven with
faulty brakes or other mechanical deficiencies. Although most collisions
between trucks and automobiles are the fault of the smaller vehicle, speeding
and driver fatigue are factors in many big rig accidents. A disturbingly
large number of truck accidents result from driver intoxication.
Whether it occurs in the Midland/Odessa or McAllen/Harlingen areas, in
San Antonio or in some tiny community, assessing the responsibility for
an accident is no simple task. It will require a careful examination of
the known facts, of the vehicles involved and of the actions of their
drivers. Financial responsibility may have to be shared among the parties
who owned, operated and even manufactured the truck. Determining liability
will require the expertise of a personal injury attorney.
The Need for Legal Representation
After a truck accident, the victims could be both physically and emotionally
traumatized. They may also be at the mercy of lawyers representing the
truck driver or company, who may attempt to force a settlement that does
not provide adequate compensation. A personal injury attorney can under
the circumstances be the best advocate for the victims and their families.
Damages may be sought to cover medical expenses or to compensate for lost
wages. They can also be sought to compensate for the emotional pain accompanying
a physical injury and by family members who have lost loved ones. If you
are the victim of a truck accident in Houston, San Francisco or elsewhere
in the United States, you should consider turning to the services of the
Doan Law Firm to help you obtain the justice that you deserve.
