Texas Truck and Automobile Accident Attorneys

You are on your way home from work, and someone runs a red light. The impact is enough to not only trigger the airbags; it also leaves you with irreparable damage to your right leg. After multiple procedures to alleviate your injury, the last thing you want to do is argue with your insurance company over medical and automotive claims. Or maybe you are driving across the state with your family for the holidays. A commercial truck driver who has been on the road for fifteen hours straight falls asleep behind the wheel. The semi-truck careens into your vehicle, resulting in a horrific high speed collision. Your vehicle is totaled, but that isn’t your most pressing concern. Your husband, your wife, or maybe one of your children has been seriously injured due to the truck driver’s negligence and the carelessness of the trucking company.

It could occur any time you are driving. The weather could be fair and sunny or stormy and windy. No one ever plans on being involved in an automobile accident; however, accidents do happen, and often they happen with catastrophic results. Just because you are a good driver doesn’t necessarily mean that others are as careful on the road, and the attorneys at Vujasinovic & Beckcom L.L.P. have the experience and the knowledge to assist you in your time of need, particularly when an insurance company is more interested in protecting its interests as opposed to yours.

Highways are dangerous. There are an estimated 6 million car and truck accidents a year in the United States, with 3 million resulting in injuries. In Texas alone, a person is either injured or killed in accidents involving large trucks every 16 minutes. The law firm of Vujasinovic & Beckcom L.L.P. has a proven record of recovering compensation for people who have sustained injuries in the Houston area.

Our experienced lawyers get results. The attorneys at Vujasinovic & Beckcom L.L.P. understand that large corporations such as trucking companies and insurance companies are more interested in protecting their own financial interests than in compensating you and your future. Our lawyers know the intricate details of the statutes and laws of the state of Texas, and they use that knowledge to help their clients recover the compensation that is necessary to maintain the quality of life injured people enjoyed before a debilitating accident. If you or someone you love has been involved in a serious automobile or trucking accident, call (713) 224-7800 or toll free at (877) 724-7800 today for a consultation. Don’t allow corporations and insurance companies to cheat you out of the compensation you need and deserve. Contact the attorneys at Vujasinovic & Beckcom L.L.P. and let us help you in your time of need.
