You May Be Able to Pursue Multiple At-Fault Parties

The lawyers from D. Miller & Associates, PLLC understand how to navigate the legal process and pursue financial recovery following a commercial vehicle accident. While this process is somewhat similar to other types of car accidents, there is one significant difference with how we identify the liable party or parties.

Under a legal doctrine known as respondeat superior, the company that employs a negligent driver may be vicariously liable for the damages others suffer in an accident caused by their employee. In general, you will need to prove two things:

  • The at-fault driver is an employee of the company
  • The driver was working at the time the accident occurred, involved in activities that fall under the “course and scope” of their job

A truck driver employed by a company to haul their cargo may trigger vicarious liability, but someone running out to get lunch on a break might not. We can evaluate the facts of your case to be sure.

Under the Texas statute of limitations, motor vehicle accident victims generally have two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, this deadline can vary depending on the facts of your case. Call D. Miller & Associates, PLLC now at (713) 850-8600 to learn about how quickly you need to act.

Types of Potentially Recoverable Damages

If we decide to work together on your Atascocita commercial vehicle accident case, we will likely prepare your claim based on the liability insurance provided by the at-fault driver’s employer. This includes identifying and gathering the evidence and facts that support your claim. We will build a compelling case in support of your pursuit of financial recovery based on the facts of your case.

If the insurance company refuses to work with us to reach a fair settlement value, we may need to take your case to court. This requires filing a personal injury lawsuit and presenting your case to a civil court.

Regardless of the format of the legal action, we can pursue damages to cover losses like:

  • Medical treatment and related care costs
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity, if applicable
  • Replacement or repair of your car
  • Other property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish

We can also pursue wrongful death actions on behalf of the immediate family members of commercial vehicle accident victims who passed away as a result of their injuries. While we know that no amount of money will soothe your grief or soften the loss you suffered, we believe you should not have to face financial losses as a result of your loved one’s accident.

Reach out to us today, and a compassionate member of our team will discuss your case with you for free.
