We Also Help Surviving Family Members Who Lost A Loved One in The Accident

The injury lawyers at D. Miller & Associates, PLLC™, also handle wrongful death claims if a loved one passed away because of the truck accident. These claims typically are filed on behalf of the surviving spouse, parent, or child. A truck accident lawyer from our firm can explain what is necessary to file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit.

What You Can Recover in A Wrongful Death Claim Or Lawsuit After A Truck Accident

We understand that no financial amount can begin to cover your loss. However, the passing of your loved one can affect your ability to pay medical bills, rent, and other necessary living expenses. The amount of damages that you could receive is typically determined by expenses such as:

  • Medical bills for your loved one until they passed away
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Lost wages and benefits
  • Property damage and related expenses
  • Pain and suffering of your loved one
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of your loved one’s companionship, care, experience, judgment, and protection

If the accident was caused by unlawful or malicious intent, criminal charges could be filed against the truck driver. You have the right to pursue financial recovery regardless of any criminal case or conviction.

Our Attorneys Can Help You With Your Spring Truck Accident Case

In most truck accident cases, we begin recovery efforts with a claim against the truck driver’s insurance company. Most commercial trucking firms must keep insurance coverage in case there is an accident. Of course, the truck driver or company may deny responsibility for the accident.

That is when our legal team will protect your rights with steps that might include:

  • Reviewing police reports, witness statements, and other evidence related to the accident
  • Analyzing photos from the accident site or taking photographs and/or video if needed
  • Requesting the truck driver’s safety, training, maintenance, and driving records
  • Talking to your healthcare provider about your injuries and prognosis
  • Negotiating for a full and fair settlement on your behalf
  • Litigating your case at trial, if we cannot reach a fair settlement

Why It Can Be Challenging To Represent Yourself in A Claim Or Lawsuit

Hiring a truck accident lawyer to represent you to the insurance company or in a courtroom is your legal right. Most people do not have the legal knowledge or experience to handle an injury case. You could unknowingly jeopardize your right to recover damages.

There are other benefits of having a truck accident lawyer help you:

  • You may not be feeling well enough to spend the time and energy necessary to navigate the claims process.
  • The truck company and/or the insurance company will probably have a lawyer representing them; you should, as well.
  • Texas limits the time to file a truck accident lawsuit to two years after the accident, per Texas law. Our attorneys will help you meet the necessary deadlines.

Since 2002, D. Miller & Associates, PLLC™, has helped injured and disabled people after a serious accident or illness. We can help you, too.

Our Injury Lawyers Accept Most Truck Accident Cases

Commercial trucks are bigger and bulkier than a passenger car that weighs about 4,000 pounds. A car accident involving a heavy truck will have severe injuries and a higher risk of fatalities.

Our team can handle any of the following types of truck accidents:

  • Truck accidents involving 18-wheelers or semi-trucks
  • Truck accidents involving motorcycles
  • Truck accidents involving cars
  • Truck accidents involving cyclists
  • Truck accidents involving pedestrians
  • Truck accidents involving intoxicated, distracted, or fatigued drivers

Potentially Liable Parties in Your Truck Accident Include The Trucking Company

Liability is one of the most complicated aspects of any truck accident case, as there are typically several potentially liable parties. They might include:

  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company
  • A manufacturer
  • A maintenance company
  • Another driver

Our team will investigate your accident to determine the liable party or parties. We will be sure to pursue the appropriate entity and hold them responsible for your damages.
