Commercial drivers are some of the safest drivers on the road. They have to be. When they’re in an accident with a passenger vehicle, people can get seriously hurt.
Pursuing a personal injury claim against a trucker or trucking company is not like filing an insurance claim with a non-commercial driver.
Commercial trucking companies have legal teams that help them avoid paying out large sums.

At your free case consultation, you’ll speak with an attorney about your accident and your injuries. We’ll help you decide if filing a personal injury claim is in your best interests.
If you decide a personal injury claim is in your best interests, Grant & Flanery’s team will begin investigating your accident and collecting evidence of the other driver’s negligence.
After gathering the evidence about your accident, a personal injury attorney will attempt to negotiate with the other party to see if they can’t agree on a settlement.
The vast majority of personal injury cases result in a lump sum settlement. If this is the case with your claim, the whole ordeal ends then.
Sometimes, trucking companies dig in and refuse to settle. If that’s the case, Grant & Flanery are prepared to take your case to trial.
Negligence is an important aspect of every personal injury claim. A successful injury claim needs to prove that the victim was hurt because of someone else’s negligence.
For a collision involving passenger cars, this is pretty simple.
Negligence in a trucking accident can include:
Most commercial drivers adhere to the rules of the road. Some, however, are under pressure to deliver more quickly. They drive longer than they are allowed to drive, they break traffic laws, and they endanger the drivers around them.
There are rules and regulations about how and what a commercial truck can carry. Sometimes, they fail to do this. This can result in a trailer detaching, opening during operation, and other dangerous cargo mishaps.
Commercial vehicles are subject to increased maintenance regulations. Sometimes, trucking companies take shortcuts or hire unqualified mechanics to maintain their vehicles. These failures can lead to tragic accidents.
Trucking companies are responsible for hiring qualified commercial drivers who have active CDLs. They’re also responsible for training their drivers and ensuring they adhere to the regulations and laws governing commercial vehicles.
Commercial trucking accidents can be complicated. The team at Grant & Flanery has extensive experience helping East Texans recover damages in some of the most devastating accidents possible. Schedule your free consultation today.
You don’t need a personal injury attorney for every accident, but if you were injured in a crash, then it’s probably a good idea to visit with one.
There have been reports of insurance companies coming into hospital rooms and trying to get victims to sign paperwork. An attorney can help give you the space you need to make the right decision.
Personal injury attorneys cost nothing out-of-pocket. Instead, their fee will come out of the final settlement, and if they don’t win, you pay nothing.
By far the most important thing a personal injury lawyer can do for you is ensure that you have the space to recover from your injuries.
Recovery takes time, and our team ensures that you’re able to get medical treatment without having to worry about the bills.
We additionally negotiate with insurance companies and handle everything to ensure that your financial well-being is protected.
If you were injured in an accident with a commercial vehicle, you should speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
The insurance and trucking companies are likely already trying to minimize their financial liability. You should get busy protecting your interests.
If you were in an accident with a commercial vehicle, the team at Grant & Flanery is standing by to help you make a full recovery.
