Truck Driver Error

Holding Negligent Truck Drivers Liable for Accidents and Resulting Injuries

Tight schedules and the temptation to drive over the number of miles and hours per day allowed by federal regulations can lead to truck driver fatigue and poor reaction times. The increasing use of cell phones and even the Internet makes the risk posed by inattentive or distracted truck drivers even greater.

If you were seriously injured in a trucking accident caused by truck driver error, it is vitally important to retain an experienced personal injury trial lawyer as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more likely crucial evidence, including logbooks and vehicle data recorders, could be lost or altered.

At the Houston law firm of Stevenson & Murray, our attorneys have the experience, legal skill and access to resources that can make a tremendous difference in the outcome of your case. To get sound legal advice and dedicated representation in an accident, injury or wrongful death case involving a dangerous, distracted or otherwise negligent truck driver, please contact our offices in Houston. The consultation will be free. Se habla español.
