San Antonio Truck Crash Lawyers
Semi truck wrecks are not the same as car accidents and cannot be handled the same way from a legal standpoint. Not only do the injuries involved tend to be more severe, such as brain and spine injuries, but there are also rules and regulations that are specific to the trucking industry that come into play in these cases. At The Weaver Law Firm, our lawyers thoroughly understand those rules and regulations. We provide effective and efficient counsel dedicated to overcoming the unique challenges that come along with truck accident cases.
We handle truck accidents that took place in Houston, San Antonio and the surrounding parts of Texas. This includes accidents that occurred on Highway 610, Highway 59 and Interstate 10.
An Understanding of Trucking Rules and Regulations Is Necessary
Did you know that a truck driver can only spend a certain number of hours behind the wheel on any given day? This rule is in place for a specific reason: to prevent driver fatigue and the accidents it causes. Unfortunately, when personal injury attorneys investigate these cases and start reviewing the logbooks truck drivers use to record the amount of time they spend on the road, attorneys frequently discover that this rule was broken and that fatigue caused the accident.
There are other rules pertaining to the operation and maintenance of semi trucks. Some address drug tests for drivers. Others address care of tires and brakes. We often find that these rules have been broken, which is a clear sign of negligence.
All Truck Accident Cases Handled on a Contingency Basis
There are no hourly rates in truck accident cases. We handle these cases on a contingency basis. You are only required to pay if we are successful in getting you compensation.
