Sadly, this pressure to perform can, and does, lead to serious trucking accidents. If you were injured in an accident that was caused by a commercial truck driver, the Austin truck accident lawyer at The Stewart Law Firm, PLLC is here to help.

We Fight to Hold Negligent Parties Accountable

Our Austin truck accident lawyer will thoroughly analyze every aspect of your semi-truck or tractor trailer accident. We place a large emphasis on the discovery process, investigating liable parties, and working with experts to reconstruct the accident. Truckers and trucking companies are required by law to follow state and federal trucking regulations.

Unfortunately, many truck accidents are caused by negligence. This includes:
  • Trucking company negligence (i.e. negligent hiring)
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Failure to comply with trucking regulations
  • Driving more hours than is allowed and/or safe
  • Failure to conduct routine maintenance on the truck
  • Overloading the truck or failing to secure cargo
  • Trucking company negligence (i.e. negligent hiring)
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Failure to comply with trucking regulations
  • Driving more hours than is allowed and/or safe
  • Failure to conduct routine maintenance on the truck
  • Overloading the truck or failing to secure cargo

When these regulations are overlooked, innocent people can be injured.

At The Stewart Law Firm, PLLC, we rely upon the professional experience of accident reconstruction experts to identify where the negligence occurred, as well as who is responsible in truck accident cases. Then, we stop at nothing to recover maximum compensation for our clients.

Seek Justice for the Loss of Your Loved One After a Fatal Truck Accident

When a commercial truck hits a smaller vehicle, the likelihood of a fatality is significantly higher because of the difference in weight, size, and height between the two vehicles. When fatalities occur, the family of the deceased can be left with unexpected expenses, such as medical expenses and funeral bills, in addition to the emotional loss that has been suffered. In such cases, families have the option of seeking compensation in a wrongful death lawsuit.

By filing a wrongful death suit, family members can seek compensation for:
  • Loss of decedent’s future income and support
  • Decedent’s medical and funeral expenses
  • Loss of love and companionship of decedent
  • Loss of decedent’s pension or other benefits
  • Punitive damages (if the conduct was reckless)
  • Loss of decedent’s future income and support
  • Decedent’s medical and funeral expenses
  • Loss of love and companionship of decedent
  • Loss of decedent’s pension or other benefits
  • Punitive damages (if the conduct was reckless)

Wrongful death lawsuits seek to compensate certain family members for the loss of their loved one due to the negligence of another party. Negligence-related truck accidents are just one example of when such a lawsuit is appropriate. Virtually any type of fatal motor vehicle accident caused by the carelessness or neglect of a person qualifies as wrongful death. However, in most cases, only the victim’s spouse, children, and parents will be eligible to recover compensation.
