Brownsville Truck Accident Lawyer

With an interstate running directly through town, Brownsville sees a lot of traffic from trucks and other large vehicles. Whether you were hit by one of these trucks on the interstate or a smaller road, D. Miller & Associates, PLLC™ can provide support and representation following a collision from our truck accident lawyers serving Brownsville.

What Justice Looks Like After a Truck Accident in Brownsville

Our personal injury lawyers pursue justice by obtaining financial recovery for any expenses and losses related to the accident. Typically, that includes:

  • Emergency expenses
  • Medical treatment bills
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Lost income
  • Diminished earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Changed quality of life

Since truck accidents can cause severe injuries, your costs could spiral out into several areas of your life. Long-term care, medical equipment, and even changes to your home and car to accommodate your injuries could be included in your financial recovery.

We pay attention to these details when we analyze your case. After doing our own evaluation of your injuries and expenses, we can stand up to low offers from insurance companies and attempts by trucking companies to delegitimize your experience.

Financial and Personal Recovery After a Fatal Accident

Every 2 hours and 25 minutes, someone was killed on a Texas road in 2019 according to the Texas Department of Transportation (TDOT). When a truck is involved, the victim of a fatal accident is more likely to be in the passenger vehicle.

If you lost someone special in a truck collision, you already know this and are looking for closure. A wrongful death claim or lawsuit can be one step toward providing financial recovery for your family to repay:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost income
  • Funeral services
  • Burial expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of parental guidance
  • Loss of spousal support

No grieving family should have to fight for their lost loved one’s life to be recognized. We advocate for them and for you.

We Get Right to Work and don’t Waste Your Time

Although the first step in your case may be an insurance claim, we keep the lawsuit statute of limitations in mind from the beginning. In fact, we use the time before the deadline to:

  • Secure and preserve evidence
  • Conduct an independent investigation
  • Initiate negotiations with an insurance company
  • Assist in day-to-day issues
  • Help schedule doctor’s appointments
  • Handle your case while you heal from injuries

Texas law allows you to pursue legal action up to two years after the accident. By contacting a truck accident attorney from D. Miller & Associates, PLLC™ early in your Brownsville case, we can make the most of those two years.

Types of Truck Accidents Our Firm Represents

With Interstate 69E traveling through Brownsville, you could encounter many types of trucks on the road. An accident with any of them could be grounds for a claim or lawsuit, and our firm can provide you with support. We handle collisions with:

  • 18-wheelers
  • Delivery vehicles
  • Large trucks or vans
  • Construction vehicles
  • Garbage trucks
  • Tankers
  • Flatbed trucks

No two truck accidents are the same. Consequently, our approach won’t be the same for all cases. We delve into the type of truck, type of accident, and type of injuries involved in your case to create a personalized plan of attack to get your financial recovery.

Our Truck Accident Team Gathers Evidence and Builds Your Case

The type of truck involved in your collision could require specific evidence to highlight what happened and pursue the appropriate party, such as:

  • Police reports
  • Eyewitness testimony
  • Photographs and video
  • Accident reconstruction
  • Expert consultation
  • Blood alcohol tests
  • Drug testing
  • Medical records
  • Phone or texting records
  • Social media posts
  • Transportation logs
  • Debris analysis

Evidence can point to specific forms of negligence. For instance, truck drivers are required to only drive for a certain amount of time before taking breaks, as outlined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). If you were struck by a drowsy driver, we can review their transportation logs and other evidence that indicates negligence in following the regulations.

Not only do we use evidence to understand what happened in your case, but we also use it to identify the negligent party and underline the extent of your injuries. Our investigators will examine every angle of your case to make sure we have the complete picture.

Holding All Liable Parties Accountable for Your Truck Collision

Truck accidents are different from other collisions because of the additional parties involved. They can require dealing with the driver, their trucking company, and the trucking company’s insurance. Moreover, this will depend on the relationship between driver and employer. Employees can be covered by their company, while independent contractors may face consequences alone.

Similarly, faulty auto parts can leave manufacturers liable. Negligent cargo loading could be the responsibility of a party other than the driver. Brownsville or Texas could also carry some liability if poorly maintained roads played a role.

We put together these pieces for you. Not only do you not have to identify the parties involved, but you also do not have to interact with them once they have been identified. We handle the investigation and negotiation.
