Trucking
When one of your company’s 18-wheelers crashes on a Texas highway resulting in serious injury or death, there are several important aspects related to the case – DOT compliance, determining the factors that contributed to the accident, the truck driver’s hours of service, driver qualifications, and record retention. At Patterson, Connolly & Hughes, L.L.P., we look at every aspect of your trucking accident and provide you with thorough, effective representation.
Logging Vehicles
Because of the type of load they carry and the condition of many of the trucks used by logging companies in the state, logging vehicles need special mention. Due to factors such as improperly maintained vehicles, disabled braking systems to prevent fishtailing, or inadequate inspections prior to being sent on the road, logging trucks may be more prone to accidents on Texas highways. Our lawyers can assist you with catastrophic injury cases related to such incidents.
