adjuster even has a financial incentive to pay you as little as
possible. You need an attorney on your side to level the playing
field between you and the insurance company.

Truck Wreck & Eighteen Wheeler Crashes
The Johnson Firm represents victims of commercial vehicle accidents all across Texas. Accidents involving semi trucks, buses, and other large vehicles almost always result in serious injuries to drivers and passengers. Because most trucks are owned and insured by a business, these cases can also present complex liability issues. If you have been injured in a truck accident in Texas, it is important to seek representation from an attorney with experience in state and federal trucking regulations. Read below for more important information on these complex cases.
Truck Accidents - An Overview
A traffic accident involving a commercial truck, such as an eighteen-wheeler or other large freight carrier, can be much more catastrophic than an ordinary car accident. A typical fully-loaded large commercial truck can weigh 80,000 pounds or more, while an average passenger automobile weighs approximately 3,000 pounds. Because of this size disparity, and due to the basic laws of physics, any collision between a commercial truck or bus and another vehicle is likely to result in serious, even fatal, injuries. While statistics show that most truck drivers are generally more careful on the road than automobile drivers, large truck crashes still accounted for 5,350 fatalities and 133,000 injuries in 2001 alone. That’s exactly why the Federal government enacted hundreds of pages of specialized laws that apply solely to commercial trucks and passenger buses. You need a personal injury attorney that is well versed in those laws. Price Johnson is. He has studied the state and federal motor carrier regulations, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and literally keeps a current copy on his desk at all times. Many truck drivers are safe drivers who understand the risks they face on the highway. Unfortunately, there are too many truck drivers on the road who are not operating safely. Some drivers are improperly trained for the operation of a big rig. These drivers do not realize that operating a commercial truck is not something you can just learn while doing; a lot of specialized training is required. Other drivers may be well trained, but the economics of the trucking industry do not always encourage safe operation. In order to make a living driving a truck, it may be necessary to drive for too many hours without enough rest or failing to take the truck off the road for necessary maintenance and repairs. In the trucking industry – if the wheels aren’t rolling, the truck driver and the trucking company are not making money. This is a hazard not only to the driver who may be breaking safety rules and regulations, but also to all other drivers and passengers on the road. Operating a commercial truck can be a hazardous occupation. If you are injured in a commercial trucking accident, you need professional legal assistance. Contact an attorney with experience in handling truck injury cases as soon as possible to protect your rights. The trucking company and its insurance carrier have experienced attorneys on their side. So should you.
