No matter where you’re driving, you’re bound to see a commercial truck. And while many 18-wheeler drivers practice good driving habits, accidents are inevitable - and potentially deadly.
An accident with an 18-wheeler can have dire consequences. At best, your vehicle is totaled. At worst, you experience significant injury or even death. If you sustain injuries, you’ll likely spend years recovering.
When you experience a life-changing injury, you don’t have time to deal with the legal repercussions of what happened. That’s where Grant and Flanery come in.
As experienced personal injury lawyers, we fight to get you the compensation you deserve to make a full recovery. We ensure you’re compensated for medical bills, lost wages, and other relevant expenses.
Schedule your free consultation with Darren Grant and Matt Flanery to take the first step to your recovery after your 18-wheeler accident.
When you’re involved in an 18-wheeler accident, you don’t want just any lawyer representing your case. You want a lawyer who specializes in personal injury law, especially for 18-wheeler accidents, to handle your case.
Darren Grant and Matt Flanery are board-certified personal injury lawyers who have helped hundreds of East Texans get compensated for their 18-wheeler accidents.
Trust us with your case, and we make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
After your accident, you’ll schedule a consultation with a personal injury lawyer to discuss the details of your case. Our truck wreck lawyers will determine the best way to proceed with your case.
Our team will begin gathering evidence to support your case. We’ll investigate the crash site and work with the insurance companies to get the right information.
When we have the evidence we need, we present your medical bills and other expenses with your evidence to the insurance and trucking companies. Our team negotiates with the different parties based on the evidence to get your compensation.
Usually, a settlement is reached outside of court. The insurance company pays the negotiated amount to cover the expenses involved in your settlement.
If we do recommend going to trial, your case will go before a judge and jury who will decide the final awarded settlement.
Commercial truck accidents usually result in severe consequences for the individuals involved. Due to the heavy machinery, even minor collisions can lead to serious injuries.
Unfortunately, the seriousness of these accidents doesn’t make the legal process any easier. In fact, 18-wheeler accident cases are often more complex than typical accidents because multiple parties may be involved, not just the truck driver.
Negotiations can quickly become challenging since the responsible party or parties may not have been present at the scene of the accident.
At Grant & Flanery, we specialize in managing complicated personal injury cases. We work with all involved parties to establish negligence and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Reckless driving is a serious risk for those on the road since drivers may ignore traffic laws and drive aggressively. While drivers may drive recklessly while under the influence, they can also be reckless due to lack of sleep.
All cargo on an 18-wheeler is supposed to be properly secured, and it is the responsibility of the truck drivers and trucking companies to ensure they are. If the cargo isn’t secured and causes an accident, the driver and trucking company may be held responsible.
Truck drivers are also responsible for maintaining their vehicle and making sure it’s safe for the road. If the vehicle wasn’t maintained and it causes an accident, the driver may be held responsible.
Truck drivers aren’t the only ones who can be responsible for your accident - trucking companies can too. If trucking companies hire unqualified drivers or encourage their drivers to break laws, such as driving while sleep-deprived, then they can be held responsible for your accident.
There may be multiple ways to determine negligence in your accident, which is an essential part of getting you the proper compensation.
Grant and Flanery will carefully review the details of your case to build a solid foundation for negotiations.
If your accident only had property damage and didn’t include injuries, you likely don’t need a personal injury lawyer. However, you can always have a consultation with one to get peace of mind.
But if someone had an injury, even a minor one, you should talk to a lawyer. They’ll review your case to determine negligence and walk you through the process of filing a personal injury claim.
You do not have any out-of-pocket costs when you hire a personal injury lawyer. They are paid on a contingency fee basis, meaning their fees are taken from the money that is awarded in your settlement or trial.
If your case doesn’t win, you don’t pay anything, but your lawyer won’t be paid for their work.
It is difficult to handle a personal injury case as an individual since there are several moving parts. Personal injury lawyers allow you to focus on your recovery since they represent your interests by:
You should talk to a lawyer sooner than later. By involving a lawyer from the beginning, your lawyers can navigate communication between the trucking and insurance companies.
Personal injury lawyers can also take the burden off you by handling your case, so you can focus on recovering while knowing everything is taken care of.
Grant & Flanery ensure you make a full recovery and get the proper compensation. They’ve worked tirelessly to get East Texans like you come back from life-altering events.
