Commercial truck accidents can cause far more catastrophic damage than passenger vehicle crashes. Brain and spinal cord injuries are often life-long, life-altering events.

Recent truck accident statistics show that there were over 38,000 commercial truck crashes in Texas in one year. Crash stats from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) show that Bexar County (which includes San Antonio) was the third leading county for truck accidents. With more than 2,200 crashes in Bexar, that number is a 5% increase from the previous year. Approximately 88% of those collisions occurred within San Antonio, and 16 of them were fatal.
The most common causes of truck accidents are driver inattention, driver fatigue, unsafe cargo, intoxicated driving, and improper training. Other factors include inclement weather and dangerous roads, like Texas I-45 in Houston, which is the deadliest road in the United States.
Several parties can be held liable for negligence in a truck accident, including the truck driver, the trucking company, the truck manufacturer, and any other parties involved in the maintenance or operation of the truck.
The statute of limitations or filing deadline for a truck accident lawsuit varies by state. In Texas, the timeline to file a truck accident lawsuit is 2 years from the date of the accident. It is essential to find the best truck accident lawyer suited to your case, and empower them to act on your behalf before your window for compensation closes.

Summary: Paul obtained a $2 million settlement for an 18-wheeler driver who was rear-ended by another 18-wheeler driver in Louisiana. The claims were against the Defendant’s 18-wheeler driver as well as the company that employed him. The Plaintiff underwent two surgeries as a result of the collision. The case settled after numerous depositions to the satisfaction of the client.
Summary: Paul obtained a $565,000 settlement on behalf of Mary Berryman who was involved in a collision with an 18-wheeler in December 2010. The case was settled out of court at a second mediation the week before trial. Berryman filed suit against Jose Peralta and Scorpion Transport in Dallas County Court alleging that Peralta ran a stop sign and caused a collision with her truck. Peralta and Scorpion alleged that Berryman was in the best position to avoid the collision simply by going around him. Ultimately, Berryman, now 62, suffered a back injury that required her to undergo surgery. Peralta and Scorpion contended that the 62-year-old’s condition was related to a prior incident in 2007 where doctor reports showed herniations in her low back and neck. After the first mediation in the case, the mediator issued a mediator’s proposal, which was rejected by both parties. However, at a second mediation, the week before trial, the Defendants and their insurance carrier paid in excess of the first mediator’s proposal. Paul was the lead attorney on the case.
