If you're reading this, it is likely that someone you love was injured in a Texas truck accident, and you're looking for answers.  

We know that the different specialties in auto accident litigation can be confusing. Why does it matter what type of accident you were involved in? Whether you were hit by another car, a tractor-trailer, or an 18-wheeler, does it make a difference? Isn't a car accident the same no matter what types of vehicles are involved?  

David Hart, a Dallas Board-Certified Personal Injury lawyer will tell you: your case is different. Here's why:  
 
  • Different rules for truck drivers. Unlike everyday commuters, driving responsibly is a truck driver's job. When a driver is overworked, sleep deprived, or trying to make a deadline, his quality of driving may get overlooked. Due to the size and weight of the load they are carrying, we rely on drivers to be alert and responsible at all times because if they're not, the smaller vehicles they hit, and the passengers in them, are more likely to suffer the consequences.

  • A different set of laws. Texas residents know that their state is a big place. A lot of truck travel is intrastate transport, which doesn't even cross the Texas border. Since they do not carry loads between states, many of these trucking companies are not required to follow federal regulations. This can lead to many dangerous trucking oversights in improper load bearing, overtime hours, and careless driving.

  • Interstate trucking means more traffic. Not only are commercial trucks more dangerous than other vehicles, there are also a lot of them. Due to the number of interstate highways surrounding Dallas-especially I-20, I-30, I-35, I-75 and I-635-Northern Texans are surrounded by an enormous amount of daily truck traffic. If you're looking for a Colleyville accident attorney to handle your Texas truck accident case, you're not alone: with the sheer number of semi accidents that occur on Loop 820 and accidents due to logging trucks on 114, a truck accident on your daily commute seems more likely every day.

  • More damage to your vehicle-and to you. Logging trucks, dump trucks, gravel trucks, gasoline trucks-all can be seen daily on 114, many of them paid by the load. When heavy vehicles are in a hurry, rushing through hard weather or rush-hour traffic, they're going to be much harder to stop than an average passenger vehicle. If a truck driver needs to slow down quickly, the momentum of his load can cause much more damage when he hits something-or someone.

The Grapevine personal injury attorneys at The Hart Law Firm know you're hurting after your accident. You're most likely also tired, overwhelmed, and just want to be able to get your life back. That's why it is vital that you get legal advice from a Bedford accident lawyer you can trust-one that has seen these types of accidents before, and knows the process. Our Colleyville accident attorneys handle Texas truck accident cases in the Dallas and Ft Worth metros and are familiar with the highways and traffic hazards of the area, and can present a compelling case to a judge.

Commercial vehicles are also governed by their own set of laws. Due to trucking laws and regulations, filing insurance claims against semi truck drivers is complicated and often frustrating. The right Dallas injury lawyer should be able to guide you through this process, leaving you free to begin healing.
