Denton Truck Accident Attorneys
Respected and Skilled Injury Attorneys For Truck Accident Victims in Denton, Texas
In recent years, the Texas legislature made it more difficult for the victims of motor vehicle accidents caused by operators of large commercial trucks – and the companies that employ them – to hold those parties responsible for damages. As a result, it is now more important than ever for Texas truck accident crash victims to seek the guidance of reputable, capable attorneys in the wake of sustaining harm. At Burress Injury Law, we know the laws that affect truck wrecks, and we know what it takes to win these cases and ensure that our clients receive the compensation they deserve.
Why Texas Truck Accident Cases Are Uniquely Complex
Unlike nearly every other state in the Union, Texas allows trucking companies to demand a "bifurcated" litigation approach in the event of a crash. This essentially means that a crash victim cannot receive compensation from an at-fault trucking company unless they have won two phases of the trial process. First, a favorable verdict must be achieved against a truck operator. Then, the crash victim can try to hold that driver's employer responsible for their role in the crash.
This is not a straightforward process, especially when a truck driver may have been partially responsible for an accident, but their employer's employment, cargo management, or fleet maintenance processes directly contributed to a crash victim's harm. It is important to remember that while winning cases against at-fault parties can be tough in Texas, it is not impossible. Working with a skilled and knowledgeable legal team can make all the difference to the outcome of your case.
You Have Been Hurt in a Truck Crash. Now What?
If you have been injured in a truck wreck, and you are hesitating to seek medical attention – perhaps due to your immigration status or concerns about the costs of treatment – you need to be seen by a physician as soon as possible. Nothing matters more than your health, and by seeking medical treatment right away, you will start building a strong trail of evidence that could make or break your legal case.
Once you have been seen by a physician, it is time to call our firm. You are probably in pain, and you may be exhausted, but you cannot afford to put off the task of alerting us to your situation.
