McKinney Semi Truck Accident Lawyer
As the leading McKinney semi truck accident lawyer, Jason K. Burress and the staff at Burress Law are prepared to guide accident victims through their cases, focusing on recovering full financial compensation for their claims.
Roughly 5,000 fatalities play out around the country each year due to an accident involving a commercial truck (i.e. box trucks, 18-wheelers, buses, etc.). Due to the sheer size of these commercial vehicles, the ensuing injuries of such accidents are often devastating.

The Experience You Need To Take On Trucking Companies
As your McKinney 18 wheeler accident attorney, Jason K. Burress and his team will make sure you receive the high-quality medical care you need from day one. Plus, we have the knowledge, skills and experts to develop quality life care plans for those clients who require extensive medical care for the rest of their lives. Having an experienced semi truck accident lawyer in McKinney TX by your side is extremely important.
Trucking companies typically invest heavily in legal and risk management resources. They will send their lawyers and experts to the accident scene almost immediately to begin preparing their defense. Burress Law is more than a worthy adversary – we have the experienced lawyers and staff, abundant resources and the best experts to fully protect the interests of 18 wheeler accident victims.
- Before dedicating his practice to help personal injury victims more than a decade ago, Jason Burress was the “go-to counsel” for several of the largest insurance companies in the world.
- As seasoned McKinney semi truck accident lawyers, we have handled hundreds of personal injury and wrongful death cases involving 18-wheelers, buses, commercial trucks and large company vehicles.
At Burress Law, we are especially familiar with the complicated federal regulations and statutes that govern transportation companies in most of these collisions. We understand the causes of these crashes and how negligent, reckless and even grossly negligent actions like intoxicated or overly fatigued drivers can lead to devastating injuries and death.
Our experience on both sides (plaintiff and defendant) provides us with an extremely unique perspective and strategic advantage. We have secured multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements as a result of strategic thinking, extreme responsiveness and extremely diligent case workup. As an example, most law firms prepare their clients a couple of hours at most before presenting them for depositions. At Burress Law, whether preparing our clients for deposition or trial testimony, the educational and strategic process last days, not minutes or hours.

Truck Accident FAQs
Answer: In the immediate aftermath of a truck accident, you should first call 911 emergency medical services. Even if you are not seriously injured, a medical professional needs to get a look at you and your injuries as soon as possible, as some injuries may not be readily apparent. Seeking medical services is also important because once it is time to file your claim, it will be important to have medical records to prove the severity of your injuries. Once you have been evaluated for your injuries, you should consider calling a personal injury lawyer.
Answer: Yes. If you were injured in an accident involving a truck, you can likely pursue legal action against the trucking company that employed the truck driver, especially if the driver acted negligently in causing the accident and injury.
Answer: Compensation that may be available following a truck accident is similar to the compensation victims can receive in cases involving other types of motor vehicle collisions. You will likely be able to pursue and recover compensation related to your physical injuries and emotional trauma. This compensation may address your medical expenses, income you lost due to your injuries, pain and suffering, and damage to your vehicle or other property.
Answer: Absolutely. It is important to speak with a lawyer before you contact an insurance company. Your attorney can advise you on what to say and what not to say to an insurance company. In many cases, the insurance company may employ deceitful tactics and attempt to reduce the amount of compensation you can receive as much as possible. A personal injury lawyer will know how to speak with the personnel who work at insurance companies, and they can negotiate a settlement that will fully address the harm you have suffered.
Answer: At Burress Injury Law, you will not be required to pay any upfront fees, and we will take your case on a contingency basis. This means that there will be no cost to you during your case, and we will cover all expenses associated with pursuing compensation on your behalf. We will only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you.
Answer: It depends. If the evidence is strongly in your favor, it may make sense to take the case to trial to obtain maximum compensation. In other situations, negotiating a settlement might be a better option for you. It is also important to take your emotional well-being into consideration. Trials can be stressful and difficult, especially when you are trying to recover from a serious injury. Our attorneys can advise you if settling your case may allow you to receive sufficient compensation more quickly and with fewer legal complications.
Answer: At Burress Injury Law, we are a team of experienced professionals who will stop at nothing to protect the rights and interests of our clients. With our record of success, insurance companies fear us, as they know we are not afraid to take a case to trial. Some attorneys are easily pushed around and manipulated by insurance companies, and they may accept low-ball settlement offers for their clients. When you work with us, you can rest assured that this will not happen. We have the experience and knowledge necessary to take cases to trial and win, no matter how big, small, complex, or simple they may be. You can trust that we will deliver for you when it matters most.
Retaining a highly qualified McKinney 18 wheeler accident attorney right away is important, considering the fact that trucking companies often attempt to hide, destroy or simply fail to preserve evidence.
