Highway Truck Accidents in Terrell

Texas Truck Accident Lawyers

Kaufman County Semi-Truck Collision Attorneys
Most truck accidents are the result of speeding, driver error, and driver fatigue. While federal regulations (enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA) limit the amount of hours a truck driver can drive all at once, the pressure to deliver cargo quickly and cheaply pushes drivers to work after inadequate sleep.

Investigating the Cause of a Truck Accident
Under the Texas doctrine of modified comparative negligence, if you are 51 percent or more at fault in an accident, you aren’t eligible to receive compensation for your losses. If you are 50 percent or less at fault, your compensation will be reduced according to the percentage of your fault. This is why insurers of trucking companies will vehemently insist and try to prove that the entire accident was your fault--it mitigates their financial losses.

At the law office of Clements & Clements, we meticulously investigate the cause of truck accidents, using data to prove a truck was speeding at the time of the crash. We review fuel receipts and the driver’s log book to see if he or she exceeded the amount of drive time allowed under federal law. In conjunction with GPS data, we can determine if a truck driver executed sudden steering adjustments or drifted off the road, which indicate falling asleep at the wheel.
