Semi-Truck Accidents in Texas

In collisions between commercial vehicles and passenger cars, the majority of fatalities involve those traveling in the passenger car. Those inside a vehicle typically suffer the worst injuries in a collision because their vehicles are so much smaller than a massive commercial rig. Big trucks can easily weigh 20 to 30 times more than a car or pickup truck. Due to its size and better ground clearance specifications, the passenger car will likely be entirely wrecked in a collision at highway speeds. Anybody hurt in a semi-truck accident should speak with a lawyer to determine whether they qualify for lost compensation payments.

Accident victims all too frequently let insurance claims representatives decide how their compensation will be handled. However, a claim representative's role is to reduce the expenses that insurance companies are responsible for. Their objective is not to promote the well-being of accident victims. In fact, it is not uncommon for their obligations to the insurance company they work for to be at odds with what's best for you and your family. Insurance companies frequently make significantly less than appropriate claim offers to individuals without legal representation, and they frequently fall short of what the law and insurance policy permit.

The majority of individuals are unaware of Texas' incredibly intricate legal system, as well as the intricacies of insurance claims and how they could apply to each particular circumstance, according to the insurance industry. Even seasoned insurance specialists are frequently ill-equipped to comprehend the complexities of a commercial claim. So, before moving forward, it is imperative that you consult with a lawyer skilled in handling cases of this nature.
