San Antonio Big Rig Accident Attorney

Did you know that commercial truck accident fatalities make up a significant number of San Antonio deaths every year? These deadly accidents have brought attention to the need for action, all the way from the San Antonio City Council to the United States Secretary of Transportation.

No amount of future reforms or regulations, however, will help the thousands who have already suffered devastating, life-changing injuries from these catastrophic accidents. These victims often find themselves in thousands of dollars of debts due to medical costs and lost wages. Additionally, because of the sheer weight of commercial trucks, many victims are either killed or severely injured in these accidents, leaving behind grieving families or necessitating long-term treatments.

If you or a loved one have been injured in a trucking accident in San Antonio, there is hope for the future. According to Texas law, if the commercial driver, their employer, or another party was responsible for your collision, the liable parties owe you full compensation for your physical, financial, and emotional losses. Before you can claim your compensation, however, you must first make your choice of 18 wheeler injury lawyer.

How should accident victims make the right choice of representation for their trucking accident injury claim? This is the first and most crucial choice any plaintiff will make before filing their claim, so it is important that you carefully consider your criteria before making any commitments.

Consider the following criteria as you search for a commercial truck injury attorney:

Personal injury attorneys may be familiar with the general details of personal injury law but most likely have one to three specialty practice areas. To specialize in an area of personal injury law requires a high level of experience and study. The first criteria you should consider in your search for a personal injury attorney is whether or not they have specialized in Texas commercial truck injury law.

Theoretical knowledge is important, but equally so is practical experience representing the victims of San Antonio big truck collisions. Ask your attorney how many commercial truck accident victims they have represented and if they were able to win them fair compensation for their injuries.

Don’t just take an attorney’s word for it; client reviews are often easily accessible with just a click of the mouse. For example, you can view Carabin Shaw’s client reviews to hear about previous commercial truck accident victims’ experience with our firm.

If an attorney’s office asks you to pay any legal or consultation fees up front, that may be a red flag. Most reputable commercial truck injury attorneys offer free initial case reviews and contingent-fee structures for their legal fees. With free case reviews and contingent-fee contracts, accident victims won’t have to pay any fees until their attorney has won their financial settlement.

Most likely, no attorney will take on your case if they are overwhelmed by their current caseload. However, some clients like the assurance that, if they have questions or concerns, they can easily reach their lawyer in a timely manner.

We are confident that our team meets all of the above criteria and more.
