There is no doubt that the economy of any region is largely dependent on the infrastructure put in place. One area of concern is the transportation sector. Without it, raw and finished goods cannot reach the target market. While many ways can be used to make this successful, the trucking industry is often preferred when it comes to road transportation. Their sheer size and weight make them specifically suitable for these jobs.
That said, the presence of these trucks on Brazoria County roads continues to be a matter of public safety concern. Statistics from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) indicate that Texas leads in the number of fatal truck crashes with a record 556 cases reported each year. There are thousands more cases of serious or permanent injuries caused by truck crashes. If you have suffered harm under similar circumstances, you may file a personal injury claim for compensation with the help of a seasoned Brazoria County truck accident lawyer.
The success of any civil litigation is greatly dependent on how well a case is presented. As the plaintiff, the ball is on your court, and you either make or break your case. Essentially, the defendant will only be countering any claims made against them. So it’s your responsibility to collect and present facts. Unfortunately, doing so on your own may be impossible. If you are severely injured, you need time to focus on recovery, and you can’t follow up with treatment if you have to work on your case. If a loved one is killed, you need time to grieve, and it may be difficult to work on your case while focusing on getting your life together.
On top of that, you may lack the basic legal knowledge to pursue your case. In reality, a truck accident lawsuit is very different from a normal personal injury case. There are complex federal and state legislation that come into play, each with hurdles that only a qualified attorney can help divulge. For example, liability in a truck accident case may cover the trucking company or truck manufacturer, with each party bearing different degrees of fault. Understanding what to do in this scenario may be difficult if you decide to self-litigate. For these reasons, you should let a skilled Brazoria County lawyer handle your truck accident case.
When looking for a tractor-trailer collision lawyer, you don’t just choose anyone. You need the best, and since not every attorney may be the most qualified, there are three major things you need to watch out for. They will help you make an informed decision on the attorney who will handle your case. They include:
Understanding the nuances of trucking laws and regulations is important. The attorney you hire for your case must understand these pieces of legislation, and how they affect your case. One of the best ways to determine whether your attorney is qualified is to look them up on sites such as the State Bar of Texas. If they are accredited and qualified, their names will surely show up here.
There is no better way of choosing an attorney than looking into their past cases. A good attorney has their track record speaking for itself. You can look out for testimonials from past clients to see what they say about the attorney in question. If they are happy with their legal services, that might be the right lawyer you need to recover compensation.
There is no point in hiring an attorney who won’t be available to attend to your case or answer your questions. No matter how busy a lawyer is, they should find ample time to work on your case, whether they have other lawsuits to handle or not. They must also show up in court when need be and appraise you on the proceedings of your claim. A good lawyer also understands how sensitive the details of your truck wreck claim are, and should therefore treat your case with the utmost confidentiality.
Since most personal injury law firms work on a contingency fee arrangement, the attorney you choose must be well-resourced to handle your case. Remember, they will be taking care of all legal fees from the start to the end, and should, therefore, have enough monetary resources to see your case through.
