Garland Truck Accident Attorneys

Get Compensated for Your Injuries

Truck accidents frequently result in severe injuries due to the size and force of commercial vehicles. Survivors may require extensive medical care and long-term rehabilitation, which can create significant financial and personal challenges.

Common injuries in truck accident cases include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Multiple fractures and orthopedic injuries
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Severe burns and permanent scarring

These injuries often lead to long recovery periods and, in some cases, permanent disabilities. 

As a result, the compensation needed to recover is typically higher than in standard car accident claims. Our attorneys carefully assess the full impact of your injuries, including future medical needs and lost earning capacity, to pursue compensation that reflects the true cost of the accident.

We're Ready to Take Your Case to Trial

Trucking companies and their insurers often fight hard to minimize their financial exposure after an accident. In some cases, this means refusing to offer fair settlements or denying liability altogether. We prepare every truck accident case with the expectation that it may go to court. 

Being trial-ready allows us to prepare stronger cases from the beginning and means we're ready for anything. It can also strengthen our negotiating position. Insurance companies are more likely to take claims seriously when they know you are prepared to present the case before a judge or jury.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Garland’s geographic location means that drivers frequently share the road with commercial trucks traveling along major routes like I-635, Highway 75, and Highway 78. These roads can become congested, especially during peak travel times, increasing the risk of serious accidents.

Truck accidents are often caused by preventable forms of negligence, such as:

• Driver fatigue from exceeding hours-of-service limits
• Distracted driving
• Speeding or aggressive driving
• Unsafe lane changes on busy highways
• Improperly loaded cargo
• Mechanical failures due to poor maintenance

Our legal team can conduct comprehensive investigations to determine exactly what caused the accident. While investigating, we may review driver logs, maintenance records, electronic data from the truck, and other critical evidence to look for signs of negligence or intentional wrongdoing. By identifying the specific acts of negligence involved, we can point to different parties that we have determined should be liable for your losses.

When Trucking Companies May Be Held Liable

In many truck accident cases, responsibility extends beyond the driver. Trucking companies have a duty to ensure that their drivers are properly trained, their vehicles are well-maintained, and their operations comply with safety regulations.

A trucking company may be liable if it:

• Failed to properly train or supervise drivers
• Encouraged unsafe driving practices or unrealistic delivery schedules
• Neglected vehicle inspections and maintenance
• Violated federal or state safety regulations

Other parties, such as cargo loading companies or maintenance providers, may also share responsibility depending on the circumstances of the crash. Our attorneys analyze every aspect of your case to identify all liable parties and pursue compensation from every available source. We don’t back down from a legal challenge, no matter what party is on the other side of an injury claim or lawsuit.

Truck Accident Claims FAQ

How is a truck accident claim different from a regular car accident case?

Truck accident claims are often more complex because they may involve multiple parties, federal safety regulations, and additional forms of evidence such as electronic logging data and company records.

What should I do after a truck accident in Garland?

You should seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to law enforcement, and document the scene if possible. It is also important to speak with an attorney before giving statements to insurance companies.

How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Texas?

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas. You should not wait that long to start, though. We recommend you talk to us within 24 hours of your truck accident, which will give us more time to get to work on your case.
