Texas Fatal Truck Accident Lawyer

Losing a loved one in a fatal truck accident is heart-wrenching. We pursue justice for families, ensuring they receive the compensation they need to move forward.

Justice for Families Who Have Suffered Tragic Loss Across the Nation

Large trucks, including 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, refrigerated trucks, and tow trucks, regularly operate on Texas’s roads and interstate highways. When large trucks collide with passenger vehicles, they usually cause severe injuries and, too often, fatalities. The loss of a loved one in a truck accident is overwhelming, especially for close relatives. It can be even more devastating to lose a loved one in a preventable crash because of the negligent actions of another party.

Across the country, personal injury laws allow certain surviving family members to pursue compensation from the at-fault party, though the process is not simple.

At Fassold Trial Law, we understand the difficulty of tragically losing a loved one. We’ll handle the legal aspects of your wrongful death case, defend your rights, and fight for fair compensation following a fatal truck accident.

Here’s How We Can Protect the Interests of Your Family

Determine Fault in the Fatal Truck Accident

Texas is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who caused the accident is responsible for injury-related losses. As an experienced fatal truck accident attorney, we’ll look at the available evidence to establish the at-fault party for the accident. Some of the parties who may be responsible for the fatal truck accident include:

The truck driver
The trucking company
The company that loaded the cargo
Manufacturer of the truck or its parts
The company responsible for truck maintenance

Dealing With Powerful Organizations

The surviving family members of the deceased victim must deal with insurers and trucking companies with deep pockets. For instance, an insurer has an adjuster whose objective is to minimize the value of payouts.

The role of a fatal truck accident attorney is to deal with these powerful insurers. Negotiating with an insurer without legal support is a daunting task. An attorney will evaluate the value of the settlement offer and advise you if it is fair.

If necessary, your attorney will present evidence and negotiate for a higher settlement value that will cover your losses.

Establish the Value of Your Damages

The input of an attorney is invaluable in determining the types of damages that the surviving family members can pursue after the loss of their loved one. Depending on the circumstances, the surviving spouse, children, parents, or personal representative can file a wrongful death claim. We will establish the applicable damages in the claim, including:

Medical bills
Loss of companionship
Funeral and burial expenses
Pain and suffering
Loss of financial support
Punitive damages

Peace of Mind

It takes time to process death and overcome the emotions associated with the loss of a loved one. As you mourn the loss of your loved one, there is a mountain of legal challenges that require your attention.

Your fatal truck accident attorney will provide the legal support you need to get through this challenging moment with minimal stress. An attorney will handle technical aspects like the statute of limitations, documentation, negotiation with insurers, and representing you in court.
