Houston, Texas Truck Accident Lawyer
Steel Bumpers Worsen Injuries in Many Truck Accidents
Our founding and principal attorney Michael S. Callahan has a mechanical engineering degree and formerly worked as an engineer before becoming an attorney. He takes an active interest in auto and highway safety issues and, when pursuing a high-stakes personal injury case, our Houston legal team often exposes factors and raises issues other, less knowledgeable lawyers might not.
One example is the knowledge that steel bumpers on 18-wheeler trucks and other commercial vehicles - rather than energy-absorbing bumpers now used on almost all passenger vehicles - pose a major danger. Steel bumpers make many truck accidents far worse than they might be if other materials were used. Please contact our Houston lawyers if you want a free, honest case evaluation after a Texas trucking accident.
Design Differences Between Trucks and Cars Could Be Important in Your Case
If you have suffered severe injury or tragically lost a loved one in a recent trucking crash, you don't need anyone to tell you about the devastation these accidents cause. However, working with a Houston lawyer who knows mechanical forces and truck design - from steel bumpers to the causes of underride and override accidents - could make the difference as you seek a sizeable financial recovery enabling you to move forward in life.
The auto industry began moving toward plastic, composite, and other energy-absorbing bumper materials many years ago for good reasons. The concept is that, in a collision, these designs and the materials used absorb much of the impact from the other vehicle and then transfer that energy throughout the frame and remaining structure. Steel truck bumpers that simply do not give can turn a serious accident into a fatal one.
