San Antonio Semi-Truck Accident Lawyers

If you or someone you love in San Antonio has been injured in an accident with a semi-truck, don’t delay to seek legal representation from San Antonio semi-truck accident attorney at Carabin Shaw. Our attorneys are prepared to represent you and your family immediately, and will gladly arrange to meet with you for free to discuss the details of the accident and provide options for seeking compensation for the pain and suffering you now face.

If you walked away with no apparent injuries, a San Antonio 18 wheeler accident lawyer might tell you this is a miracle.

Commercial vehicle accidents can leave you in a variety of adverse situations. It may be that you or a loved one has suffered injuries that have left you hurting and struggling through your daily activities. Worse, you may have lost a loved one and are now faced with funeral arrangements and expenses; in all of these scenarios, the suffering is the result of a negligent semi-truck driver.

After any type of accident, it is imperative that you seek medical care and an evaluation, even if you aren’t experiencing any outward signs of injury; many types of trauma aren’t immediately obvious, and you will need complete records of medical assessments to aid any claim you make against an at-fault party.

Our attorneys will work with your medical and physical therapy team to obtain documentation of your treatment. Remember, their documentation of your evaluation and treatment for any injuries is crucial to your case. It’s imperative that Carabin Shaw’s San Antonio semi-truck accident lawyers obtain this supporting documentation in order to get you the best settlement allowed by law. Time is of the essence on this too. Delaying treatment impacts your health on a long term basis, and it can also impact outcomes in a settlement agreement.

What Happens in a Semi-Truck Collision

Our San Antonio semi-truck accident lawyers have documented studies which show cars involved in a T-bone accident versus a head on collision often result in greater injury to the occupants of the vehicle. This is because when a vehicle is hit off-center, there’s greater rotational force at play, and this causes a few things to happen:

  • The rotational force spins the vehicle out of control at lightning speed.
  • The bodies inside are tossed around in direct opposition to the rotational force of your car.
  • The strength of the impact and the reverberation of your vehicle as it bounces off a semi-truck is absorbed by every fiber of your body.
  • Oftentimes, severity of damage suffered during these secondary forces is only apparent after some time has passed.

It is always best to be represented by a knowledgeable attorney here in San Antonio who understands the nuances of these extraordinary circumstances, and an expert who can deal with the large corporations and fight for your rights.

At Carabin Shaw, our San Antonio semi-truck accident lawyers are well versed in the minute details of accidents involving semi-trucks and passenger cars. If you choose litigation, our attorney’s will explain to a jury how the speed and velocity of the vehicles at impact affect the body. We can tell them exactly how your body was affected by the impact.

Our attorneys will also work to secure critical pieces of data, making sure significant documentation is collected and evaluated for injuries and emotional trauma you have suffered. They can obtain the log books that San Antonio truck drivers are required to use to record the number of miles and hours driven each day, and even subpoena notes about repairs on the truck. If negligence was due to being on the phone, they can subpoena cell phone records to prove talking or texting. There is even equipment that shows how fast a driver was going and if they attempted to brake.

Each of these pieces is vital to the outcome of your case; any delay in obtaining representation can be a loss in your compensation due to destroyed or missing evidence.

Don’t delay; our team of lawyers in San Antonio is standing by to assist you in the fight of your life. It will be a fight: no insurance company willingly pays out thousands of dollars without one. Don’t let it be a fight you face alone; let the attorneys at Carabin Shaw will stand with you.
