Is it true that truck accident cases in Texas are more complicated than auto accident cases?

A:

Yes, it is true.  There are three main reasons that Texas truck accident cases are more complicated than auto accident cases.

First, the injuries and property damage in a tractor trailer wreck are often much more serious than those in an auto accident.  And, when there is serious damage – there is a serious fight.  Insurance companies don’t want to pay out big money for your claim, so they’ll use every trick they have to fight it.

Second, there can be many parties involved in an 18 wheeler crash case: the trucking company, their insurance company, the driver, the owner of the truck, the insurance company, and the lawyers for all those folks.  Guess what – they are ALL working together to make sure your accident costs them as little money as possible.

Third, there are a lot of state and federal rules governing trucking companies and their drivers.  A good deal of research needs to be done by an experienced attorney when it comes to tractor trailer accident cases.  This is one time that you definitely want somebody with proven truck crash experience handling your case.
