Victoria, Texas Trucking Accident Lawyers

Trucking accidents often result in serious, life threatening injuries. At the law office of Cole, Cole & Easley, our attorneys work with medical experts, economists, and life care planners in determining the financial impact of injuries sustained in a truck accident.

Since most trucking companies train drivers in methods for avoiding blame, our office also consults accident investigators who measure skid marks, analyze the data from a truck's on-board black box recorder, and reconstruct the accident. We also subpoena a driver's log to see if he or she exceeded the number of drive-time allowable hours while taking further investigative steps to determine if driver fatigue or excessive speeding was involved in the crash.

We understand the state and federal laws that regulate and govern the trucking industry and have the investigative resources needed to expose violations of them that lead to trucking accidents.

Causes of Trucking Accidents

Our personal injury attorneys represent clients injured in trucking accidents involving the following:

• Driver fatigue / asleep at the wheel
• Excessive speeding
• Wide angled turns
• Lane drift
• Absence of rear guard to prevent under-riding
• Load shift
• Absence of reflective markings
• Failure to pull off onto shoulder correctly
• Tire blowout
• Drunk driving / driving under the influence

Determining the Financial Impact of a Trucking Accident

Given the size and weight of tractor trailers and semi trucks, accidents involving them usually result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities. In order to ensure our clients receive compensation proportional to the financial impact of their injuries, we look at cost data maintained by HMOs and the insurance industry.

Working with economists and life care planners, we present cost projections for head trauma, spinal cord injuries, amputations, serious burns, and head and neck injuries. Our attorneys consider costs associated with surgery, physical therapy, medical equipment, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
