Personal injury attorney Tim O’Hare offers advice for victims involved in commercial truck crashes.

Dallas, Texas – Commercial truck accidents are everyday occurrences on roads throughout the United States. It is estimated that 11 fatal crashes involving these vehicles happen each and every day. Each year, thousands of people suffer injuries through no fault of their own. Victims of such crashes do have rights and are often entitled to compensation under the law. Picking up the phone and calling a personal injury attorney is the first step to ensuring those rights are protected.

“Obtaining legal advice following any type of automobile accident is wise,” says Dallas personal injury attorney Tim O’Hare. “For those involved in crashes involving commercial trucks, time may not be on their side. Companies that own and operate commercial vehicles will generally begin working immediately after an accident to mitigate any losses they might face. That means victims need solid representation on their side to ensure their rights are protected.”

When victims of commercial truck accidents gain legal representation, they may experience the following benefits:

• Independent investigation – When commercial truck accidents occur, law enforcement will conduct an investigation. Commercial companies also generally conduct their own investigations with an eye toward minimizing losses. Personal injury attorneys will also carry out an investigation to determine the root cause of the crash. Should faulty brakes, poor operator judgement or other issues related to the commercial vehicle or driver be to blame, the attorney will be better positioned to fight on a client’s behalf as a result of the investigation.

• Easier navigation of the system – People who are injured in commercial truck accidents often require immediate medical assistance and may need long-term care. A personal injury attorney will work to ensure clients have an easier time dealing with insurance companies in order to obtain any necessary care.

“Commercial trucking companies have lawyers working on their behalf to minimize any damages that must be paid to accident victims,” O’Hare says. “Victims need representation as well to make certain they receive the compensation they are entitled to under the law.”
