Houston Attorney for Highway Truck Accident Victims
A collision at highway speeds between a loaded 18-wheel truck and a car, SUV or other passenger vehicle is often a catastrophic or deadly event. In many cases, the truck driver may escape with minor injuries but the driver and passengers in the other vehicle do not survive the crash or must cope with devastating consequences.
Our accomplished lawyers travel from Houston, TX, across the state and throughout the United States to handle serious highway truck accident cases. Whether your car-truck accident occurred on Highway 59, Interstate 45, I-35, I-10, I-30, I-20 or elsewhere, we encourage you to contact us for legal counsel.
Going the Distance to Recover Evidence and Establish Liability
Our Houston lawyers and investigators work hard to identify and prove critical liability factors such as driver fatigue, drug use, inadequate maintenance, regulatory violations, brake failure, or other equipment failures. Building a strong case for serious injury victims or surviving family members calls for a law firm with the experience, technical knowledge, training and skill to develop the case and take it through trial when necessary to get the justice you deserve.
Our principal attorney Michael S. Callahan earned a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Texas at Austin, and then worked as a design and construction engineer before becoming a lawyer and representing people in trucking cases. His ability to grasp, challenge and present complex mathematical and physics-based aspects of a highway truck accident are proven and widely respected.
Our lawyers have the ability to dig deep for solid data about a crash and present it in clear language during negotiations or at trial. Critical relevant data include:
- Impact speeds and forces as indicated by crush damage to the vehicles involved
- Determination of the position of the vehicles before impact, at the time of impact, and then after the vehicles come to a rest
- Supporting information from engineering databases that collect and compile data from motor vehicle crashes nationwide
- Black box and data recorded information for the vehicles
- Biomechanics of the vehicle occupants, which ultimately means determining, understanding and then explaining to a jury how the injured person's body reacted to the impact and was injured
