San Antonio Truck Accident Lawyer Seeks Full Compensation for Injuries
Genuine concern for victims drives our practice
Situated in south-central Texas, San Antonio is a major crossroad for commercial traffic running east to west and north to south. Major arteries, such as I-10, I-35, I-37, US 90 and US 281, crisscross our region, bringing tractor-trailers, tanker trucks, and delivery trucks through and into our community. While these commercial vehicles are vital to our economy, negligent handling of such heavy equipment poses a grave danger to motorists and pedestrians. At the Law Offices of Marion W. Cain, P.C., we understand the destructive force of commercial trucks, because for more than 35 years we have served victims of large truck accidents. If you or a loved one has suffered a devastating injury in a commercial truck crash, we provide compassionate and professional representation, so you can get the full compensation you deserve.
Damages available for commercial truck injuries in San Antonio
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the typical weight of an unladen Class 8 tractor-trailer is about 35,000 pounds, but payloads typically add another 40,000 pounds. Moving at highway speed, a 70,000-pound big-rig can obliterate a lane of passenger cars, and a jackknifed rig can cut a destructive swath across several lanes of traffic. Injuries can be catastrophic as well as fatal:
- Broken and crushed bones
- Burn injuries
- Concussion and traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal trauma and paralysis
- Loss of limbs
- Internal injuries
- Toxic or caustic chemical exposure
- Wrongful death
As with an auto accident, the negligent party must compensate you for your losses. You may be eligible to receive payment for:
- Medical bills, now and in the future
- Lost wages
- Future wage losses
- Rehabilitation costs
- Treatment center costs
- Reconstructive surgery costs
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Catastrophic injuries are permanent and life-altering. To cope with such devastating circumstances, you need to receive the maximum amount of compensation possible. However, you can expect the trucking company’s insurer to resist paying what you truly deserve. As your legal advocate, we work tirelessly to advance your personal injury case, assembling the evidence necessary to maximize your recovery.
