How do I know if I need a truck accident lawyer in Houston, TX?

Truck accidents are often more serious than car accidents because of the sheer size and weight of a truck. Here are some answers to common questions about truck accidents.

What kind of compensation can you get in a truck accident case? 

There are many different damages we have filed for in the past. Some of the most common damages that people seek in truck accident cases include: 

• Compensation for medical costs, such as prescription medication and over the counter drugs, hospital bills, costs for surgery or any other procedures that happen because of the accident, and physical therapy or chiropractic care costs. 
• Compensation for damages done to personal property in the accident. This includes damage done to your vehicle or any property that was damaged inside the vehicle because of the accident. 
• Compensation for lost wages due to missed work.
• Potential compensation for pain and suffering. This is sometimes something we do want to try to get because truck accidents are often more traumatic than other car accidents because of how devastating the effects can be.
