We Identify the Responsible Parties and Hold Them Accountable
A truck accident may differ from a standard auto accident in that there may be more parties involved on the liability side. In addition to the truck driver who hit you, the trucking company—the driver’s employer or contractor—often has vicarious liability for the driver’s actions. If there was a defect in the truck itself that contributed to the accident or made your injuries worse, the manufacturer may also bear liability.
We will investigate your accident thoroughly and identify every potentially liable party:
The Truck Driver
The truck driver is the most obvious and most likely party responsible for your Baytown truck accident injuries. If they violated a traffic law or displayed negligent behavior leading up to your accident—such as texting or using a smartphone—we can use it as evidence of liability. Truck drivers are also required by industry regulations to keep a detailed logbook of their activities (as affirmed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration), including when they drive, when they rest, and when they have their truck serviced. If they spend too many hours on the road without resting or they do not get regular maintenance on their vehicle, they can face penalties. We will look at their logbook and search for evidence of negligent behavior.
Because most truck drivers—whether they are employees or owner-operators—work at the behest of a trucking company, their employer may have vicarious liability for their actions. We can pursue the truck manufacturer for compensation if we find evidence that the truck featured a defect or flaw that either contributed to the accident or made it worse.

We Help You Recover Fair Compensation
A Baytown truck accident lawyer from Blass Law will work to get you monetary compensation for your truck accident injuries. We pursue both economic and noneconomic damages. Your settlement or award may include compensation for:
Medical Bills
We will pursue the responsible party (or parties) and their insurance companies for both your current and anticipated future medical expenses. These may include your hospital bills, surgery costs, physical and occupational therapy expenses, prescription drug costs, and more.
Lost Wages
We can work to make sure the responsible party or parties compensate you for the money you have lost due to missed paychecks while staying home to recover from your injuries.
Reduced Earning Capacity
We can also help you recover compensation to make up the difference in your earnings if they have decreased as a result of your not being physically or mentally capable of doing the same work as before.
Pain and Suffering
We pursue compensation for pain and suffering as well as for other economic losses such as emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life. Your noneconomic damages can often exceed your economic losses in monetary value. We make sure to fight for the largest possible settlement.
