Robertson County Truck Accident Lawsuit Guide: The Aggressive Legal Representation You Need

One moment, you are driving through the intersection of US-79 and US-190 in Hearne. The next, your world is shattered by 80,000 pounds of steel. In Robertson County, this isn’t just a nightmare scenario—it is a daily reality on highways like I-45 and the rural FM roads that serve our region’s agricultural and industrial centers. When an 18-wheeler or a corporate delivery van slams into your vehicle, you aren’t just dealing with a “car wreck.” You are dealing with a legal emergency that requires the immediate intervention of a Robertson County truck accident lawyer who knows how to fight and win.

At Attorney911, led by managing partner Ralph Manginello, we have spent over 25 years holding trucking companies accountable for the devastation they cause. Since 1998, Ralph Manginello has built a reputation for aggressive litigation in state and federal courts, securing multi-million dollar settlements for families in Robertson County and across Texas. We understand that after a catastrophic collision, the trucking company already has a team of investigators and lawyers on the scene before you’ve even left the emergency room. You deserve a team that moves just as fast.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, do not wait for the insurance company to “do the right thing.” They won’t. Call Attorney911 now at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free, no-obligation consultation. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover money for you. Our offices in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont allow us to serve Robertson County victims with the combined power of a large-scale firm and the personal attention of a boutique practice.

The Unfair Advantage: Why Choose Attorney911 for Your Robertson County Truck Accident

When you go up against a Fortune 500 company like Walmart or Amazon, they aren’t intimidated by general practitioners. They are intimidated by results and insider knowledge. Our firm provides a unique advantage to our Robertson County clients because our team includes Associate Attorney Lupe Peña.

Before joining us to fight for victims, Lupe Peña worked for a national insurance defense firm. He spent years inside the system, learning exactly how insurance companies evaluate, minimize, and deny trucking accident claims. He knows the algorithms they use to lowball your suffering and the “shell game” corporate parents play to hide their assets. Now, he uses that “defense playbook” to help Ralph Manginello maximize recoveries for the people of Franklin, Hearne, and Calvert. We expose the tactics that other firms might miss.

With over $50 million recovered for our clients, our track record speaks for itself. We have secured results like a $5+ million settlement for a traumatic brain injury and a $3.8+ million recovery for an amputation case. As client Chad Harris said, “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” In Robertson County, we treat you like neighbors and fight for you like kin.

The Hazards of Trucking in Robertson County, Texas

Robertson County sits at a critical junction of Texas freight. I-45, which runs through the southwestern portion of the county, is one of the most traveled trucking corridors in the United States, connecting the Port of Houston to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Furthermore, US-79, US-190, and Highway 6 serve as primary arteries for commercial traffic moving across Central and East Texas.

The danger in Robertson County is compounded by our industry mix:

• Agricultural Transport: Heavy grain trucks and livestock haulers frequently share narrow two-lane roads with local families.
• Mining and Aggregate: Robertson County is home to significant sand and gravel operations. Overloaded dump trucks and gravel haulers are constant fixtures on our FM roads, often leading to tire blowouts and cargo spills.
• Oil and Gas Service: While not the heart of the Permian, Robertson County sees heavy traffic from frac sand haulers and equipment trucks moving between the Haynesville and Eagle Ford regions.

When these massive vehicles fail to follow Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations on Robertson County roads, the results are deadly. A fully loaded semi-truck is 20 to 25 times heavier than a standard sedan. At 65 mph on US-79, an 18-wheeler requires more than 520 feet to come to a complete stop—that is nearly two football fields. When a driver is fatigued, distracted, or operating a poorly maintained vehicle, there is no such thing as a “minor” incident.

48-Hour Emergency: The Evidence Preservation Window in Robertson County

If you have been hit by a commercial vehicle in Robertson County, the clock is ticking against you. While the Texas statute of limitations gives you two years to file a lawsuit, the most critical evidence can disappear in as little as 30 days.

Trucking companies are permitted by law to overwrite “black box” data (the Engine Control Module) after a certain period if no legal preservation notice is received. This data is the “silent witness” to your accident, recording speed, brake application, and throttle position in the seconds before impact. Furthermore, Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data, which proves Hours of Service (HOS) violations, can be purged.

The moment you retain Attorney911, Ralph Manginello and our team send a formal Spoliation Letter to the trucking carrier. This legal notice demands that they preserve:

1. ECM/Black Box Data: To prove the driver was speeding or never hit the brakes.
2. ELD Logs: To expose 49 CFR Part 395 violations and driver fatigue.
3. Driver Qualification Files: To see if the company hired someone with a history of DWI or reckless driving.
4. Maintenance Records: To prove the brakes were worn beyond legal limits under 49 CFR Part 396.
5. In-Cab Video: Footage from Netradyne or DriveCam systems that often catch drivers texting or falling asleep.

In Robertson County, we move within 24 to 48 hours to ensure this evidence is secured. As client Angel Walle noted, “They solved in a couple of months what others did nothing about in two years.” We don’t believe in waiting for the insurance company to cooperate; we force them to play by the rules. Call us today at (888) 288-9911 to lock down the evidence in your case.

Federal Regulations: Proving Negligence in Robertson County Truck Crashes

To win a truck accident case in Robertson County, you must prove the trucking company or driver was negligent. We do this by citing specific violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (49 CFR). When a company breaks these federal laws, they are often “negligent per se,” making it much harder for them to escape liability.

Hours of Service (HOS) — 49 CFR Part 395

Fatigue is a leading killer on Robertson County highways. Federal law is strict: a driver cannot spend more than 11 hours behind the wheel after 10 consecutive hours off duty. They must take a 30-minute break after 8 hours of driving. Yet, corporate pressure often forces drivers to “push through” and falsify their logs to make delivery deadlines at distribution centers in Central Texas. Ralph Manginello knows how to cross-reference GPS data with ELD logs to catch logbook fraud.

Driver Qualifications — 49 CFR Part 391

Trucking companies have a duty to only put qualified drivers on Robertson County roads. This means a valid CDL, a current medical certificate, and a background check that reveals no disqualifying offenses. If a company like Walmart or a local aggregate hauler puts an unqualified driver behind the wheel, they are liable for Negligent Hiring.

Vehicle Maintenance and Inspection — 49 CFR Part 396

Every commercial vehicle in Robertson County must undergo an annual inspection and daily pre-trip inspections. If the brakes fail on an 18-wheeler entering Hearne because the company deferred maintenance to save money, they have violated federal law. We subpoena the full maintenance history of the tractor and trailer to prove the crash was a preventable mechanical failure.

Cargo Securement — 49 CFR Part 393

In our agricultural and mining-heavy area, cargo spills are a significant risk. If sand, gravel, or equipment isn’t properly secured with tiedowns that meet the Working Load Limit (WLL) requirements, the load can shift, causing a rollover or a spill that triggers a multi-car pileup on Highway 6. We hold the loading companies and carriers responsible for these failures.

Types of Robertson County Commercial Vehicle Accidents We Handle

While many people search for “18-wheeler lawyers,” Attorney911 handles accidents involving every type of commercial vehicle on Robertson County roads. Each has unique physics and legal complexities.

Jackknife and Rollover Accidents

On the curves of US-79 or during a sudden storm on I-45, a truck’s trailer can swing out (jackknife) or tip over (rollover). This often happens when a driver enters a turn too fast or brakes improperly on a slick surface. These accidents often involve multiple victims because the truck blocks the entire roadway.

Underride Collisions

Perhaps the most terrifying crash in Robertson County is the underride collision, where a car slides beneath the trailer of a truck because the truck lacked proper rear or side guards. These are almost always fatal or result in decapitation and severe traumatic brain injuries.

Corporate Fleet and Delivery Van Accidents

As Robertson County grows, we see more Amazon, FedEx, and UPS vans in our residential neighborhoods in Franklin and Hearne. Amazon, in particular, uses a “Delivery Service Partner” (DSP) model to try and shield themselves from liability. They claim the driver is an “independent contractor.” Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña know how to pierce this corporate shield by proving Amazon exercises total control over the driver’s route, pace, and behavior. If an Amazon van hit you, we go after Amazon, not just the small contractor.

Dump Truck and Gravel Hauler Accidents

The sand and gravel mining industry in Robertson County puts massive, heavily loaded dump trucks on FM roads. These vehicles are often poorly maintained and operated by drivers under pressure to move as many loads as possible. If an overloaded dump truck couldn’t stop and slammed into your car, we investigate the construction company and the quarry owner as well as the driver.

Oilfield Vehicle Accidents

Even if an accident happens on a private lease road near a wellsite, you still have rights. We handle cases involving water trucks, frac sand haulers, and crew transport vans. These cases often involve both FMCSA trucking law and OSHA industrial safety violations. With our experience in BP refinery litigation, we are uniquely equipped to take on big oil companies in Robertson County.

Who Is Liable for Your Robertson County Truck Accident?

Most general practice lawyers only sue the driver. At Attorney911, we know that to get the settlement you deserve, we must cast a wider net. We investigate every party in the supply chain:

1. The Driver: For negligence, fatigue, or distraction.
2. The Trucking Company (Carrier): For respondeat superior and negligent supervision.
3. The Cargo Owner/Shipper: If they required an unsafe delivery schedule.
4. The Loading Facility: If they improperly balanced or secured the load.
5. Maintenance Contractors: If they failed to repair known brake or tire issues.
6. Freight Brokers: For hiring a carrier with a “Conditional” or “Unsatisfactory” safety rating.
7. Manufacturers: If a tire blowout or brake failure was caused by a product defect.
8. Corporate Parents: Like Walmart or Amazon, for their systemic safety failures.

In Robertson County, these companies have deep pockets, but they also have deep legal defenses. You need a lawyer like Ralph Manginello who has successfully litigated against Fortune 500 defendants and knows how to stack insurance policies to cover your multi-million dollar losses.

Catastrophic Injuries and the Path to Recovery

A truck accident in Robertson County doesn’t just result in a “sore back.” It changes your life forever. We have seen the human cost of these crashes up close, and we fight for the maximum compensation for:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Our firm has secured settlements ranging from $1.5M to $9.8M for victims of brain trauma. These injuries affect your personality, your ability to walk, and your memory.
• Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis: For those facing a lifetime in a wheelchair, settlements can range from $4.7M to $25.8M. We ensure your future medical needs and home modifications are fully covered.
• Amputations and Crush Injuries: Losing a limb is a catastrophic loss. We have recovered millions ($1.9M – $8.6M) for amputation victims, ensuring they have access to the best prosthetics and rehabilitation.
• Wrongful Death: If you lost a spouse or child on a Robertson County highway, we pursue the trucking company for the loss of companionship, guidance, and financial support. Our wrongful death recoveries routinely hit the multi-million dollar mark ($1.9M – $9.5M).

We also understand the invisible wounds. PTSD, driving anxiety, and depression are legally compensable injuries in Robertson County. As client Stephanie Hernandez said, “When I felt I had no hope or direction… they took all the weight of my worries off my shoulders.” We don’t just win cases; we help you rebuild your life.

Insurance Limits: Why You Need 888-ATTY-911

Standard car insurance in Texas often provides only $30,000 in coverage. That won’t even cover a single day in a Houston trauma center. Commercial trucks in Robertson County operate under much higher federal minimums:

• $750,000 for general non-hazardous freight.
• $1,000,000 for oil or large equipment hauling.
• $5,000,000 for hazardous materials (HAZMAT).

However, many “big box” fleets and oil companies are self-insured. This means they pay your claim directly from their own balance sheets—and they will fight much harder to protect that money. This is where Lupe Peña’s insurance defense background is invaluable. He knows their “burn rate” and their settlement thresholds. We don’t take the first offer, because we know it’s always a lowball designed to make you go away.

18-Wheeler Accident FAQ for Robertson County Residents

1. How long do I have to file a claim in Robertson County?

The Texas statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. However, government-owned vehicles (like a city bus or a state utility truck) may require a notice of claim within six months. Contact us immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911 to ensure you don’t miss a critical window.

2. What if the driver says I was partially at fault?

In Robertson County, Texas follows “modified comparative negligence.” As long as you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, though your payout will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. We use accident reconstruction experts to disprove the trucking company’s attempts to blame you.

3. Can I sue the company whose logo was on the truck?

Yes. If you were hit by a Walmart truck, an Amazon van, or a corporate fleet vehicle, the brand owner is often liable under “ostensible agency” or direct negligence. We have experience taking on these exact corporate giants.

4. What is my truck accident case worth?

Every case is unique, but successful trucking litigation in Texas often results in six, seven, or even eight-figure outcomes. Your case value depends on your medical bills, lost wages, degree of disability, and the amount of insurance available. Our firm has recovered over $50 million for Texas families.

Detailed Breakdown of Truck Accident Types in Robertson County

In our two decades of practice, we have identified that Robertson County truck accidents often fall into specific patterns based on our local geography. Understanding the mechanics of your crash is the first step in building a winning case.

Jackknife Accidents on I-45 and US-190

A jackknife occurs when the drive wheels of the tractor lock up, but the trailer continues forward, swinging out at a 90-degree angle. This is frequent on Robertson County’s high-speed corridors during sudden rainstorms. Under 49 CFR § 393.48, all brakes on a commercial vehicle must be operative. If the trailer brakes failed to engage properly, the trucking company is liable for your injuries.

Rollover Crashes on Narrow Robertson County Roads

Rural roads like FM 46 and FM 979 were not built for the modern volume of heavy commercial traffic. When an 18-wheeler takes a sharp rural curve too fast, or when the cargo (like Robertson County gravel or cattle) is improperly balanced, the truck can tip. These rollovers often crush cars in adjacent lanes. We use digital forensics to pull data from the truck’s inclinometer and ECM to prove the driver was exceeding a safe speed for the local conditions.

The “Silent Killer”: Rear-End Collisions from Driver Inattention

On long stretches of Highway 6, highway hypnosis and fatigue set in. Federal law (49 CFR § 392.3) forbids a driver from operating a truck while their ability is impaired by fatigue. If a distracted or exhausted trucker slams into the back of your car at a stoplight in Franklin, the impact force is equivalent to being hit by a freight train. We subpoena the driver’s cell phone records and DISH network records to prove they were distracted by a phone or in-cab entertainment.

Wide Turn “Squeeze” Accidents in Small Towns

In Hearne or Calvert, 18-wheelers often have to swing wide into the left lane to make a right-hand turn. If the driver doesn’t check their mirrors or signal properly, a car in the right lane can be crushed between the truck and the curb. Our investigation into these accidents focuses on 49 CFR § 393.80, which requires all trucks to be equipped with mirrors that provide a clear view to the rear.

Breaking the “Independent Contractor” Shield in Corporate Accidents

Large corporations like Amazon and FedEx Ground have spent millions designing a legal structure to avoid paying for accidents. They hire “Delivery Service Partners” (DSPs) which are essentially small, under-insured shell companies. When an Amazon van causes a T-bone accident in Robertson County, Amazon’s lawyers will tell you, “The driver doesn’t work for us.”

We don’t buy it.

Recent litigation in Texas and across the country is moving toward holding parent companies liable. We argue that because Amazon:

• Controls the delivery route via their algorithm.
• Mandates the use of branded vans and uniforms.
• Scores the driver’s performance with cameras and apps.
• Retains the right to fire the DSP at any time.

…they are the “de facto” employer. Lupe Peña’s background in defense litigation allows him to identify the internal corporate memos and contracts that prove this control. We aren’t afraid of their fleet of lawyers. We’ve gone head-to-head with Walmart and Amazon and won.

Oilfield Truck Accidents in the Robertson County Region

While the shale plays fluctuate, the truck traffic from our neighbors in the Haynesville and Eagle Ford regions often traverses Robertson County. Frac sand trucks and water tankers are notorious for safety violations.

• Overweight Violations: Every extra pound of sand is extra profit for the carrier, but it makes the truck impossible to stop.
• Driver Fatigue: Drivers in the “oil patch” often work 14-hour days and then drive two hours back to their base. This is a direct violation of FMCSA HOS rules.
• Road Degradation: Heavy trucks destroy Robertson County’s rural asphalt, creating potholes and ruts that can cause smaller vehicles to lose control.

We understand the dual jurisdiction of OSHA and FMCSA in these cases. If you were hit by an oilfield vehicle, you need a lawyer who understands the unique risks of the energy sector. Ralph Manginello’s involvement in the BP Texas City refinery explosion litigation gives us a level of industrial expertise few Robertson County firms can match.

Comprehensive Injury Taxonomy: What We Fight For

When we file a demand for damages in a Robertson County court, we don’t just ask for generic “pain and suffering.” We use a detailed taxonomy of injuries to ensure every penny is accounted for.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Cognitive Impairment

Even a “mild” concussion can have permanent effects. In an 18-wheeler impact, your brain is subject to coup-contrecoup forces—hitting the front and then the back of the skull. This causes diffuse axonal injury (DAI), which can result in personality changes, inability to concentrate at work, and chronic headaches. We work with neurologists to document the full scope of your neuro-cognitive deficits.

Orthopedic Fractures and Joint Destruction

The crushing force of a truck often shatters bones rather than just breaking them. Pelvic fractures, femur fractures (the strongest bone in the body), and compound fractures of the tibia are common. These often require multiple surgeries and the permanent installation of titanium plates and screws. For victims in physical trades, this often means the end of a career.

Soft Tissue and Spinal Column Damage

Insurance adjusters love to call whiplash or a herniated disc a “minor” injury. In Robertson County, we know better. A herniated L5-S1 disc from a truck impact can cause shooting pain down your legs (sciatica) that makes sitting or standing for more than 20 minutes an agonizing ordeal. If the insurance company calls it “just soft tissue,” we take them to trial.

Psychological Trauma: PTSD and Vehophobia

If you are now afraid to drive on I-45, or you have night terrors reliving the impact, you are suffering from a recognized medical condition. PTSD after a truck wreck is debilitating and compensable. We ensure your mental health treatment is part of the settlement.

The Economic Impact: Recovering Your Financial Future

In Robertson County, your financial losses after an 18-wheeler crash fall into three categories:

1. Economic Damages (The Calculable Cost)

• Medical Bills: Not just the $50,000 for the initial surgery, but the $500,000 you will need for physical therapy and future revisions over the next 20 years.
• Lost Wages: Every paycheck you miss while recovering.
• Loss of Earning Capacity: If your injuries mean you can no longer work your high-paying job at a plant or in the oilfield, the trucking company must pay the difference for the rest of your working life.
• Property Damage: Replacing your vehicle and any personal property at fair market value.

2. Non-Economic Damages (The Human Cost)

• Pain and Suffering: The daily agony of living with chronic pain.
• Disfigurement and Scarring: Especially critical in burn or glass-laceration cases.
• Loss of Consortium: The impact your injury has on your relationship with your spouse and children.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for the hobbies and activities you can no longer perform.

3. Punitive Damages (The Punishment)

If we can prove the trucking company acted with “gross negligence”—such as knowingly letting a driver with multiple drug violations get behind the wheel—we seek punitive damages. These are designed to punish the company and prevent them from hurting anyone else in Robertson County.

Deep Dive: How We Investigate a Robertson County Truck Wreck

When you hire Attorney911, we don’t just file a piece of paper. we launch a full-scale forensic operation. Robertson County accidents require a local touch combined with national-level resources.

Phase 1: Scene Reconstruction

Within the first week, we often deploy an accident reconstruction engineer to the site of the crash. They analyze skid marks, use drone photography to map the terrain, and calculate the “delta-V” (the change in velocity) during the impact. This allows us to prove exactly how fast the truck was going, even if the driver lied.

Phase 2: Electronic Forensic Download

We obtain a court order or use our spoliation notice to gain access to the truck’s Engine Control Module. We don’t just look at the raw data; we have experts interpret it. Did the driver hit the brakes half a second before impact, or did they never brake at all? This evidence is absolute and cannot be argued away by corporate lawyers.

Phase 3: The “Paper Trail” Investigation

Trucking safety is built on documentation. We subpoena:

• The Driver’s Daily Log: To find “ghost logs” where a driver claimed to be off-duty while actually driving.
• Toll and Fuel Receipts: We cross-reference these with the logs. If a driver gassed up in Hearne at 2 PM but their log says they were in a sleeper berth in Houston, we have caught them in a felony logbook falsification.
• Cell Phone Pings: To prove the driver was on social media or texting at the moment of the crash on US-79.
• Company Safety Audits: To see if the FMCSA had already warned this company about their dangerous practices.

Phase 4: Medical Causation and Life Care Planning

For catastrophic injuries in Robertson County, we don’t just look at today’s bills. We hire medical experts and Life Care Planners. These professionals determine exactly what you will need for the rest of your life: how many surgeries, how many hours of home nursing care, and what adaptive technologies you deserve. We demand the trucking company pay for your ENTIRE future, not just your past.

Frequently Asked Questions About Robertson County Truck Accidents

1. I was hit by a truck but the police report says I was at fault. Is my case over?

Absolutely not. Police officers in Robertson County do their best, but they are often overworked and not trained in commercial vehicle accident reconstruction. They often rely solely on the truck driver’s statement if you were unconscious or being transported by ambulance. We frequently overturn police reports by using ECM data and witness testimony to prove the officer got it wrong.

2. Can I sue the freight broker who hired the trucking company?

Yes. Thanks to recent developments in “Negligent Brokerage” law, we can often hold the brokers (who make billions of dollars matching loads to trucks) responsible if they hired a “bottom-tier” carrier with a history of safety violations. This adds another multi-million dollar insurance policy to your case.

3. What if I was a passenger in the truck that crashed?

If you were a co-driver, a trainee, or a authorized passenger in the cab of the truck, you have a claim. While workers’ compensation may apply in some co-driver scenarios, there are many exceptions that allow for a third-party personal injury lawsuit against the driver or the carrier.

4. Why should I hire Ralph Manginello instead of a big billboard lawyer?

Those billboard lawyers often treat you like a number. They have hundreds of cases per attorney and rarely see the inside of a courtroom. Ralph Manginello handles a smaller number of high-value cases, ensuring you get direct access to his 25+ years of experience. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. When the insurance company knows we are ready to walk into a Robertson County courthouse, they offer much higher settlements.

5. How much insurance does an Amazon van carry?

Most Amazon DSPs are required to carry $1 million in liability insurance. However, Attorney911 looks for the Amazon excess policies and self-insurance layers that can reach far beyond that initial million.

6. What if the trucking company is from another state or Mexico?

Because Robertson County sits on major international trade routes, we often handle cases involving out-of-state or international carriers. Ralph Manginello’s federal court experience and dual licensure (TX and NY) allow us to handle complex jurisdictional issues that leave other lawyers confused.

Technical Breakdown: 49 CFR FMCSA Regulations (Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations)

We believe an educated client is a powerful client. Here is the technical breakdown of the federal laws we use to win your Robertson County case:

49 CFR § 382: Controlled Substances and Alcohol Use and Testing
Every commercial driver in Robertson County must be drug-tested before hiring, after any accident involving a fatality or citation, and randomly. If a driver was on methamphetamines to stay awake or alcohol to cope with the stress, we find the test results.

49 CFR § 391.11: General Qualifications of Drivers
A driver must be at least 21 years old, speak English, and hold a valid medical examiner’s certificate. If a company hired an 18-year-old for an interstate run on I-45, they have violated federal law.

49 CFR § 392.7: Equipment, Inspection, and Use
A driver may not operate a truck until he or she is satisfied that the following parts are in good working order: brakes, steering, lighting, tires, and horn. If the driver skipped this pre-trip inspection in Hearne and their brakes failed five miles later, they are negligent.

49 CFR § 393.86: Rear Impact Guards
Trailers must be equipped with guards to prevent underride. If the guard was rusted, improperly maintained, or missing, the trailer manufacturer and the carrier are liable for the resulting fatalities.

49 CFR § 395.8: Driver’s Record of Duty Status
This is the regulation requiring ELDs. If the electronic data shows the driver had been “on-duty” for 16 hours, the accident wasn’t a mistake—it was a predictable result of corporate greed.

49 CFR § 396.3: Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance
A carrier must keep a vehicle record for every truck, showing the schedule of maintenance. We look for “deferred maintenance” where an oil company or carrier skipped a $200 brake adjustment that could have saved a life.

Final Word: Why Every Minute Counts

The trucking company’s insurance adjuster might call you today. They will sound friendly. They might offer you $50,000 and tell you it’s a “fair settlement.” Do not talk to them. That $50,000 is a “nuisance settlement” designed to get you to sign away your right to sue before you realize you have a million-dollar injury.

You have been through enough. Let us handle the fight. We’ve done it for 25 years. We’ve done it for $50 million in recoveries. And we are ready to do it for you in Robertson County.
