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 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 Accidents Largely Caused by Driver Behavior

Truck accidents are a major cause of traffic accident injuries and fatalities on Texas roads and highways. With miles upon miles of sparsely populated roadways punctuated by bustling urban city centers, driving a tractor trailer or other large vehicle through Texas can be hazardous. But it isn’t the road or the vehicles or the weather that causes the majority of truck accidents, it is drivers themselves. Studies by federal safety experts have shown that driver behavior is hands-down the greatest contributing factor in tractor-trailer accidents in the United States.

Driver behavior is more than ten times as likely to contribute to a tractor-trailer crash as other factors like weather, road conditions, or vehicle performance. This fact was revealed in a Large Truck Crash Causation Study by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the agency whose primary mission is to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses.

This study is unique because it looked at large truck accident data from across the country instead of focusing on specific crashes or individual crash causes. The goal of the study was to take all pre-crash factors into consideration and try to determine how they contribute to large truck accidents.

This unprecedented study revealed that in 88 percent of the crashes driver error was the reason for the accident. Experts will now go on to study driver behavior in more detail to determine what can be done to reduce the number of serious large truck accidents across the nation. Some factors that have to be taken into consideration are the use of drugs (prescription and over-the-counter), excessive speed, driving while tired, driver inattention, distracted driving, truck driver work environments, and lack of familiarity with the road.

About two years of crash data were considered in the study, which included 24 sites in 17 states. To be included in the study at least one large truck had to be involved in the accident and had to have caused at least one fatality or injury. There were a total of 1,127 large trucks in the study, along with 959 non-truck motor vehicles which were all together involved in 967 crashes. As a result there were 251 fatalities and 1,408 injuries.

If you have been seriously injured in a truck accident in Texas, don’t go it alone against the trucking company, their insurance company and their attorneys. You need somebody on your side to fight for your rights and make sure that you receive the compensation you deserve. You can see our successful track record yourself in our case results library, and you can call and talk to us about your own truck accident case for no cost and no obligation.
