Deadly Trucking Accidents in Texas

Large commercial trucks are often 20 to 30 times heavier than typical passenger cars, and there is an even greater size disparity between a semi and a motorcycle. These enormous vehicles have the potential to completely devastate those who are unfortunate enough to be involved in a crash. Texas has a high rate of fatal trucking accidents compared to the national average, and families may be able to recover compensation with the help of a skilled lawyer. The surviving family members of a fatal crash victim may be entitled to compensation for any damages or losses sustained as a result of a semi-truck accident. You can seek recovery by filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Economic compensatory damages, non-economic compensatory damages, and punitive or exemplary damages are the three main categories of damages you might obtain in a wrongful death claim. If you want to find out the value of your case, you need to contact an attorney. Economic damages often include tangible financial losses, such as medical costs, funeral costs, lost future earning potential, and others. Non-economic losses are caused by the psychological and emotional repercussions of coping with a loved one's wrongful death, such as loss of consortium, companionship, support, services, society, and comfort. Punitive damages are the least common type of damages awarded in any type of civil suit, and these are meant to punish the at-fault party and discourage similar behavior from others. Our Houston semi-truck accident lawyers understand how upsetting it can be when a loved one is killed in a semi-truck accident.
