Dallas, Texas Truck Accident Attorneys

State and federal laws regulate the trucking industry. As such, truck drivers are required to receive certain basic training, limit the number of hours they drive continually, maintain the safety of their vehicle, and adhere to the rules of the road. However, in order to cut costs and deliver freight on time, drivers and their employers do not always follow the rules. The lawyers at Jones Geisler work with investigators in reconstructing the causes of a truck accident. When necessary, data from the on-board black box recorder is analyzed, a driver's log reviewed, driving training and licensing checked, drug tests requested, and the record of a vehicle's maintenance schedule subpoenaed. Since driver fatigue and excessive speed are common causes of an accident, gathering evidence from skid marks and inspecting the entries in a driver's log can establish violations of state and federal laws that played a role in causing a truck accident.

The law office of Jones Geisler has the investigative resources and knowledge of the trucking industry needed to uncover acts of negligence and violations of safety standards and laws.

The Serious Nature of Truck Accident-Related Injuries

Accidents involving semi trucks often cause very serious injuries. The sheer weight of 18-wheelers and other types of tractor-trailers creates an increased risk of death or catastrophic injuries, such as head trauma and spinal cord injuries. As a result, injury victims face expenses associated with physical therapy, surgery, pain treatment, lost wages and diminished quality of life. Working with medical economists and life care planners, Jones Geisler provides cost-data analyses pertaining to the total financial impact of a client's injuries.
