Find Out If You Have a Case in Texas
Every person’s situation is different and it is best to contact an attorney to find out if you have a case. Generally speaking, if the truck accident you or your loved one was involved in was caused because a truck driver or trucking company failed to follow FMCSA protocol, you may have a legitimate reason to file a claim or lawsuit. Seeking compensation in this way can make a significant difference in an accident survivor’s physical, mental, and financial recovery.
Some of the most commonly violated FMCSA rules and regulations include safety standards relating to, but not limited to, the following:
- Hours-of-Service (HOS)
- Distracted Driving
- Hazardous Materials
- Drug and Alcohol Use
- Cargo Securement
- Maintaining Proper Vehicle Weight
- Maintenance of Vehicle and Vehicle Parts
Stand Up for Your Rights
Far too often, trucking collisions cause those involved to suffer serious injuries ranging from bone fractures to paralysis and head trauma to burn injuries. By standing up for your rights through a claim or lawsuit, you may receive compensation for medical expenses. Medical care and treatment may be needed for months, if not years, after an accident. In the most serious of accidents, some individuals may require permanent medical attention and home care.
Compensation may also extend to lost wages and benefits when a person’s livelihood is directly affected by their injuries from the accident. It may be difficult for an individual to accept that he or she can no longer provide for themselves or their families, but at least compensation can help relieve the burden of debt and financial strain.
Overcoming any injury is never easy, but the emotional distress from a shocking truck accident can create additional difficulties for a person and his or her family to overcome. It is for this reason that compensation may be given for pain and suffering and other calamities.
