McKinney Truck Accident Lawyer

McKinney Truck Accidents

If you’ve been injured in a truck accident and someone else was at fault, reach out to a truck accident attorney in McKinney to prove liability against the negligent party and recover the compensation you deserve. 

Trucks have a high risk of getting into wrecks on the road because of their size, minimal visibility, and increased lack of control. When a car gets into a collision with a truck, the consequences can be severe for the vehicle driver because the car usually takes on the majority of the damage. Injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries and spinal damage are possible in these types of wrecks. 

If you’ve been injured after being in a truck wreck, it’s essential to determine who’s liable for the accident and hold them accountable if you hope to get your medical expenses covered. You don’t deserve to bear the financial burden of your injuries on top of pain and suffering. A McKinney truck accident lawyer from Crain Brogdon, LLP. can help you file a claim.

Types of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can occur for various reasons but more often than not, the truck driver or an issue involving the truck will be at fault. Truck drivers can cause wrecks if they’re distracted while driving, improperly trained behind the wheel, drowsy while driving, or if they perform some other driver error. 

Accidents can also happen if the truck malfunctions in some way, if cargo is improperly loaded, if road conditions are bad, or if weather conditions are bad. Determining how your truck accident happened will be the key to determining liability. 

Determining Whom to Sue in an 18-Wheeler Wreck 

If the truck driver is proved to be negligent in your wreck, you may be able to sue the driver or the truck company that employed them. If your wreck was caused by a truck defect or a cargo loading issue, then the truck manufacturer or the cargo loading company can be held liable.

Once you’ve determined whom to sue, you’ll need to gather sufficient evidence to be able to prove their negligence caused your injuries. Police reports, witness testimonies, photographs, video footage, and medical records can all be used to support your claim in court.
