18 Wheeler Accident Lawyers

Experienced 18-Wheeler Truck Injury Lawyer

When a tractor-trailer is involved in an "accident" on our roads, it is rarely an "accident." Someone is at fault. Often it is the overworked truck driver; or a trucking company that breaks the rules because it knows there is not enough law enforcement on the roads to police the 18-wheelers. If you have been hurt or someone you care about has been killed in an 18-wheeler accident, a skilled lawyer can help you in attempts to hold the negligent individuals accountable.

At the Dean Law Firm, we represent people and families of wrongful death victims injured in 18-wheeler accidents throughout Texas and the surrounding states. We understand how a catastrophic injury can impact your life. That's why we not only pursue legal recovery, but also counsel clients regarding available resources for dealing with their changed circumstances.

Has This Happened to You?

The forces, sounds, sights of an 18-wheeler accident are terrifying. Common injuries include loss of limbs, head injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures and even wrongful death. Semi tractor-trailer crashes occur for a number of reasons, including:

  • Driver fatigue
  • Driver inattention
  • Driving too fast
  • Overweight loads
  • Poorly maintained vehicles
  • Inadequate training or supervision

The laws governing the trucking industry are complicated. To build a strong case against a negligent driver and/or trucking company, an attorney must possess detailed knowledge of these laws, as well as proven experience handling serious injury cases.

Attorney Christopher Dean has been vigorously protecting the rights of injured clients since 1995. We have obtained numerous large jury verdicts and settlements for our clients in these cases. Our firm has the experience, knowledge and skill to help you pursue maximum compensation.

Contact Legal Counsel Quickly

Immediately following an 18-wheeler accident, insurance companies are on the scene, gathering evidence in the trucker's favor. The sooner you call our office, the sooner we can launch an independent investigation, searching for indication of trucker or trucking company negligence. Tire marks, fluid spills, log books and eyewitness accounts tend to become more unreliable as time passes. To protect yourself, hire an attorney swiftly.
