Dear Curtis,

I would like to express my gratitude for the way you have taken care of this case. Thank you for your advice and encouragement during a time when I was completely bewildered by what needed to be done and how very much needed doing.

Dear Mr. Beckcom:

I never got a chance to say thank you for the wonderful job you did on my daughter's case. My daughter will be graduating in June from High School with cum laude status. She will be attending college at U.T. Austin and majoring in Communications. Thanks to your efforts her college education has been taken care of. Thank you again from both of us.

I highly recommend these guys with 100% assuredness that they will work hard for you and help you receive what you deserve.

Just when we thought we would never find someone who would listen to our story, V&B opened their doors to us. For one month, I spoke to 25 lawyers and the answer I received was "your case is a lost case, no one will ever represent you."

Phuong N.

I was injured in an auto accident in Houston, and was referred to Vuk by another attorney. I couldn't work as a result of the accident and desperately needed back and knee surgery.. . . Vuk was able to get me a generous settlement within about a year of taking my case.

Steven R.
Deer Park, Texas
After my two-year old son was killed by an 18-wheeler driver and me and my daughter were badly injured, we hired Brian and Vuk to represent us on the recommendation of another lawyer.

This was the hardest time in our lives and it was great knowing we had you there to represent us.

Jury awards $8.6 million to Texas woman badly injured in truck crash

A Texas woman who was seriously hurt in a collision with an 18-wheeler will receive $8.6 million thanks to an Anderson County jury. The accident happened in 2006 when the woman, Martha Michelle Gaines, then 19, was hit by a defective truck-tractor while driving her 2000 Buick Park Avenue.

The truck was being driven by Kenneth Lee Woodworth, 46, who ran a red light at the intersection of North Loop 256 and Sterne Avenue. At the time of the crash, Woodworth did not have a driver’s license and the truck he was driving did not have brakes at the time of the crash. Woodworth was hauling oilfield equipment when he hit Gaines.

After the accident Gaines was in a coma for over two months. She suffered from serious head trauma and other injuries including broken ribs and a shattered pelvis. It took her 14 months to recover from the accident, after time spent in hospitals, at the Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation in Dallas and elsewhere.

The lawsuit was filed against the driver of the truck and against his business associates Bennie Joe Adkinson – the truck’s owner – and Joseph P. Pritchett. The lawyer for Gaines and her family argued that all three men were negligent for their actions related to the crash.

The jury was unanimous in their verdict. However, highlighting the challenges inherent in securing justice after a serious truck accident, the defendants will likely appeal the decision to the 12^th Court of Appeals and perhaps even on to the Texas Supreme Court.

Hurt in a truck accident? Here’s what to do…

Being involved in an accident with a tractor trailer can be a terrifying experience. Any motor vehicle accident can be frightening, but colliding with a massive 18-wheeler that weighs tens of thousands of pounds can be enough to badly injure and disorient anyone.

If you’ve been involved in a large truck crash, please make sure you follow some very basic advice:

Get immediate medical attention. Not only is this in your best interest and the interest of other people in your vehicle, but being treated by a doctor is proof that you were injured in the crash.
Call the police. No matter how nice the truck driver or others involved in the crash might seem, always, always call the police. You need an accident report as evidence.
Ask for contact information. Get as much information as you can from the truck driver and any witnesses.
Take pictures. With so many devices like PDAs and smart phones containing cameras, it can be quick and easy to take a few pictures that will be “worth a thousand words”. These can be excellent evidence if you end up in court.
Talk to an attorney if your injuries are serious. In a serious truck accident, you have a lot going against you. Trucking companies usually have their own lawyers and investigation team, and when an accident happens they will “circle the wagons” to protect themselves – and leave you without fair compensation.

One of the best ways to protect your rights after a serious tractor trailer crash is to talk to a board certified personal injury attorney with proven experience handling large truck cases. Contact Vujasinovic & Beckcom today.
