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 know that my attorney is good because he won my case and I would recommend him to others.
Words cannot express the thanks and gratefulness that we have for Vuk and his company. His tireless efforts and aggressive style meant the world to us and he changed our lives forever. I will always be loyal and grateful to V&B for taking on my case and being committed from the beginning until the end. I highly recommend these guys with 100% assuredness that they will work hard for you and help you receive what you deserve.

I would like to thank Brian Beckcom and his staff for their professionalism and their support. . . I knew when I met Brian that he was more than qualified to handle my father's wrongful death case . . .if I needed his help again I wouldn't hesitate to call.

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."

Vuk, it has been such a wonderful experience working with you and your staff. Thank you so much for all the hard work that you did to help my family and I survive through the most difficult time of our lives.

Phuong N.
Houston, Texas
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.

Truck / 18 Wheeler Accidents

Due to the size of tractor-trailers and semi trucks, it is easy to see why accidents involving these vehicles are usually catastrophic. Every year tens of thousands of people are injured in large truck crashes across the country. If you have been injured in an accident involving a large truck, you may be wondering what exactly caused the collision.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted a study that examined the reasons behind large truck accidents in the United States. Researchers analyzed 963 crashes, which was a national sample of the 120,000 truck accidents that occurred from April 2001 to December 2003. The sample included 1,123 large trucks and 959 motor vehicles that were not trucks. Every one of the accidents studied had at least one injury or fatality.

What was interesting about the findings of the study was that some factors of a large truck crash occurred days, weeks, months or even years before the incident. Factors such as driver training, experience of the driver, truck design and manufacture, highway condition, traffic signaling and weather conditions frequently contributed to truck crashes. Researchers did notate certain events that happened right before an accident, which included tire blowout, snow or traffic decisions.

Other variables associated with large truck accidents had to do with events such as running out of travel lane or loss of control and factors including brake problems, traffic flow interruption, prescription drug use, driving too fast for conditions and so on. Driver fatigue was also linked to many of the truck accidents studied.

An injury caused by a large truck accident can be traumatic. If you have been injured in a semi truck crash, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Contact Vujasinovic & Beckcom P.L.L.C. at (877) 724-7800 or (713) 224-7800 for legal advice regarding your large truck case.

The article, Causes of Large Truck Accidents – the Large Truck Crash Causation Study, has more information on the study.
